Legaltech startup Lawhive lands €2 million to make legal services more accessible and equitable
Summary
It’s something that founders Pierre Proner, Jaime van Oers, and Flinn Dolman discovered when they needed legal help in disputing a refused airline refund. The unique combination of human lawyers and AI reduces the cost of legal services to the consumer by as much as 70% while the solicitor’s rate remains unaffected. The startup is tapping into a big market, bringing a much-needed service to resource-stricken SMEs and consumers, and helping them to access their rights. The end-to-end legal journey, including all comms with human lawyers, takes place through the Lawhive app with complete transparency on all stages and costs. As we enter a cost-of-living crisis and period of belt-tightening for consumers and small businesses, having access to the law in an affordable way has never been more important.
