Melbourne, Australia – In a significant boost to the integration of artificial intelligence in legal services, Lander & Rogers has announced its call for applications for the 2025 iteration of its respected LawTech Hub. This initiative, now approaching its eighth year, targets startups and scale-ups specializing in AI, offering them a unique incubator program to refine and pilot novel legal technologies.
Since its inception in 2019, the LawTech Hub has established itself as Australia’s premier legal tech accelerator program and stands out by requiring no equity from its participants. Commencing in May 2025, this six-month program facilitates the development of startups by allowing them to refine their concepts, trial their technologies in real-world scenarios, and gain exposure to venture capitalists and industry experts.
Throughout the program, participants will also have the chance to enhance their business acumen via a series of masterclasses and will climax their learning journey at a Legal Tech Pitch Night, where they can showcase their innovations to a broad audience of potential investors and industry professionals.
Lander & Rogers also connects these burgeoning companies to a growing network of program alumni, fostering a community that encourages ongoing innovation and mentorship. Notably, 93% of the 30 startups that have passed through the LawTech Hub remain operational, highlighting the program’s effectiveness.
Adding to this year’s program is Lander & Rogers’ AI Lab, an Australian pioneer project focused on exploring the synergies between innovation, technology, ethics, and law with regards to AI deployment in legal services. Another enrichment comes from a partnership with Monash University on AI Clinics, which involve law students in intensive AI-related legal studies including ethical considerations, use case research, and technological testing.
The freshly appointed chief executive partner of Lander & Rogers, Daniel Proietto, expressed enthusiasm about the new chapter for the Hub. “We’re excited to launch the eighth edition of this trailblazing program,” Proietto said. “We are looking forward to collaborating with a new cohort of innovators eager to advance the capabilities of legal technology and, in turn, enhance the services we provide our clients.”
Applications for the LawTech Hub are currently open, inviting a new wave of legal technologists to bring their ideas into the limelight and potentially follow in the successful footsteps of alumni like Mary Technology, Josef, DraftWise, Syncly, Deeligence, and Nexl.
Individuals interested in applying to this transformative program are encouraged to seize this opportunity to potentially revolutionize aspects of the legal industry, thereby contributing to the broader application of AI in enhancing legal services.
