Lawhive raises $2m to give consumers cheaper legal advice
Summary
UK legaltech Lawhive has raised a $2m seed round to make it easier for consumers and small businesses to access lawyers. None Proner says some of the most common cases are David v Goliath claims against big corporates such as Covid flight refunds that airlines or travel agents have refused to pay out without any legal basis.Who is investing in Lawhive? That reflects a growing trend of founders bringing greater numbers of angels on board to access their networks and expertise. Major European VCs remain bullish on the space; Atomico backed Swedens contract creation and management software PocketLaw at Series A earlier this year. But as someone who has gone through a solicitor online (I used Juno for some conveyancing needs), I can understand that there are also times when you want to pay more so you can pick up the phone and call someone and there are all potential complications with cases that could make automation difficult.
