Lawhive, a legaltech startup delivering consumer legal services through an AI-native law firm model, has raised £45 million in Series B funding led by Mitch Rales, with participation from TQ Ventures, GV, Balderton Capital, Jigsaw, Anton Levy and LTS. The investment comes within a year of Lawhive's £30 million Series A. The funding will be used to accelerate Lawhive’s expansion across the US and to scale its AI operating system for consumer law.
Lawhive targets the consumer legal market, where everyday matters such as family law, landlord and tenant disputes, employment law and consumer rights are often slow, costly and unpredictable due to manual processes and administrative burden. The plaform has its own AI operating system to reduce time, cost and administrative work, enabling legal cases to be handled with greater speed, consistency and predictability for consumers while helping lawyers scale their practices.
The firm launched in the US in mid-2025 and now operates in 35 states, with plans to expand to all 50. The business has surpassed $35 million in annualised revenue, growing sevenfold over the past year. It currently operates in both the US and the United Kingdom and has opened an office in Austin, with a New York office planned to support its next phase of US growth.
Lawhive created what it describes as the world’s first AI-native law firm in 2023 and is now supported by 450 lawyers across the US and United Kingdom who practise through its AI operating system. In 2025, Lawhive acquired Woodstock Legal Services in the United Kingdom as part of its expansion strategy.
The pace of growth over the past year reflects the scale of the problem we are tackling. Everyday legal matters remain costly and unpredictable for millions of people, while lawyers are held back by manual processes that limit their efficiency and scale of their legal practices. AI is finally making it possible to achieve a breakthrough in delivering consumer legal services with the speed and consistency people expect. The reaction from lawyers and clients in the US has been exceptionally strong, and this funding allows us to build on US momentum and scale our model.
Pierre Pronero, Co-founder & CEO
Lawhive is democratising legal services by providing access to high quality and transparent consumer legal services. I'm excited for my business building firm, New Bearing, to partner with Lawhive's talented management team to build operational excellence into everything that Lawhive does for consumers and lawyers. Pierre, his co-founders and I share a mindset that we are building Lawhive for the next decades ahead of us.
Mitch Rales, Co-founder of Danaher Corporation
What sets Lawhive apart is its business model scales as quickly as its technology and operating leverage improves. Cutting-edge agentic AI, strong fundamentals and a clear opportunity to capture a fragmented market are rare. We believe Lawhive, with its remarkable pace of domination thus far, is on track to be the global champion of consumer law.
Schuster Tanger, Founding Partner of TQ Ventures
For too long, consumer legal services have been expensive, slow and out of reach for many people. Lawhive is changing that by using technology to make high-quality legal help more accessible without compromising on standards. That focus on access and outcomes for consumers is why we’ve continued to support the company as it scales across the US.
