Slaughter and May has selected six startups for the third round of its 'Fast Forward' tech initiative, which supports promising new businesses by providing free legal advice and access to to other magic circle-standard services.
As with previous rounds, the firm will provide £30,000 worth of free legal and business services to the successful applicants.
Unlike in previous rounds, the latest intake was open to non-fintech startups, meaning that new partners will be able to be involved in the programme – a move Kingsley described as "a nice knock-on effect". The new focus has meant a change in name for the programme, which was previously known as Fintech Fast Forward.
