Slaughter and May has selected six startups to join its maiden legal technology program, Collaborate. The successful applicants include AI-powered litigation platform LitiGate, document automation tool Clarilis, and Logiak, a platform that lets non-coders create their own apps.
Slaughters said it received more than 50 applications after the program was announced earlier this year.
The six companies will be given access to the corporate in-house teams as well as partners and lawyers at the firm. The program will run for three months.
Slaughters clients GlaxoSmithKline, John Lewis, Santander, Standard Chartered and Vodafone have all agreed to test and assess the small firms' products in development.
The companies will also have access to two dedicated mentors from the firm – one lawyer and one member of the knowledge team – and dummy data to develop their products.
Collaborate is led by partners Anna Lyle-Smythe and Nilufer von Bismarck, and supported by innovation head Jane Stewart, knowledge head Alexandra Woods, and senior technology lawyer Natalie Donovan.
von Bismarck said in a statement: “We are very pleased with the businesses we are taking into Collaborate in this first cohort. They fought off some very strong competition from a high caliber of applicants. We look forward to working with some of the best legal tech entrepreneurs to bring new tools to the legal sector.”
