Codebase to drive tech innovation in legal sphere

Tech incubator Codebase is bringing its Lawtech Bridge initiative to Scotland, with a launch event in Edinburgh this month.

The programme, in partnership with Barclays Ventures, aims to promote collaboration between legal firms and start-ups to drive technological innovation.

Lawtech Bridge will debut in Scotland with a meet-up at Codebase in Edinburgh on 27 November, featuring a keynote speech from Charlotta Cederqvist, head of business development at the Law Society for Scotland.

Speakers will also include Pete Milligan, chief executive at legal tech business Miso; Rachel Coleman of law firm Pinsent Masons; and Callum Murray, CEO at start-up Amiqus, which last week announced a deal with Anderson Strathern.

Codebase chief strategy officer Steven Drost said: “Lawtech Bridge breaks down the barriers between law firms and start-ups and provides a forum to discuss the technological advances and innovation needed to future proof law and Scotland’s economy.”
