The Story

Founded in 2015 by Tim Boyne and Sam Kidd, two non-lawyers who spotted an opportunity in the in-house legal space where most legal teams globally were operating without any tech products to help them in their day-to-day function. This was around the time companies were migrating to the cloud, opening the door to a SaaS platform approach for corporate legal teams who desperately needed it.

The Numbers

  • 150 people globally, proudly based in Tauranga

  • AI-powered workspace handling intake, matters, contracts & external law firm spend 

  • Providing greater visibility, faster delivery & more control for in-house legal teams 

  • Turned down their first raise US$10m VC funding for $2.3m – read more here.  

  • Have gone on to raise over US$50m

Plot Twist

Two non-lawyers built one of the leading legal tech platforms by simply observing that corporate legal teams were stuck in the stone age while every other department had moved to the cloud. Sometimes the best solutions come from outsiders who see what insiders miss.

The Good Stuff

They're an all-in-one platform that handles everything from business intake to contract management, giving in-house legal teams the tech tools they never knew they needed but can't live without. Based in beautiful Tauranga, they're proving you don't need to be in a major city to build world-class legal tech.

From spotting a gap in the market to turning down massive VC funding – these Tauranga legends are revolutionising how corporate legal teams work, one SaaS solution at a time.
