Legal AI Joins UK-First Legal Innovation Challenge to Transform Client Onboarding

Legal AI is proud to announce our selection as one of nine pioneering technology companies chosen to participate in SuperTech WM’s groundbreaking Legal Onboarding Innovation Challenge– the UK’s first collaborative, industry-led initiative to modernise client onboarding in the legal sector.

 

The programme unites top-tier legal firms with trailblazing tech innovators to reimagine how legal services manage onboarding, compliance, and client risk in a fast-changing digital world.

 

We are thrilled to be working alongside legal industry leaders including Shoosmiths, Mills & Reeve, Fieldfisher, and Gateley firms at the forefront of legal innovation. Working with firms like these will allow us to continue to refine and develop LegalAI and our Digital Legal Assistant, Kai,  to streamline the compliance processes, elevate client experiences, and unlock new efficiencies through the power of AI.

 

A Shared Vision for Smarter Onboarding

The legal industry is at a tipping point: traditional onboarding processes often rely on outdated, manual workflows that are not only time-consuming but also vulnerable to regulatory risk. At Legal AI, our mission is to close this gap with AI-driven tools that enhance accuracy, speed, and compliance from the very first client interaction.

 

The Innovation Challenge focuses on four critical onboarding challenges:

 

  • Smarter use of initial client data
  • Efficient conflict checks using AI
  • Real-time PEP and sanctions screening
  • Secure, centralised client communication portals

What This Means for Legal AI

Joining this programme means more than recognition, it’s a rare opportunity to co-create with industry stakeholders, iterate based on real-world insights, and evolve our solutions to meet genuine needs. We look forward to the upcoming industry workshops, deep mentorship, and the final Showcase Day in Birmingham on July 8th, where we’ll present our refined technology to a network of legal and tech leaders.

 

Our inclusion in this programme further solidifies our position as a key player in the rapidly growing LawTech sector- one poised for significant expansion in the years ahead.
