The company's legal technology accelerator program will run this time with seven new startups with big dreams of disruption in the legal field.

On Sept. 28, LexisNexis kicked off programming for the second cohort of legal technology startups to participate in the company's Legal Tech Accelerator program. Seven new companies—Contract Wrangler, dealWIP, Lawcountability, Medilenz, ThreadKM, Vijilent and vTestify—are slated to participate in the 10-week program designed to mentor companies as they look to scale in the legal market.

The companies will move through the accelerator's business development curriculum and work between Lex Machina's Menlo Park office and the LexisNexis Raleigh Technology Center on the Centennial Campus of North Carolina State University.
