About Nextlaw Ventures

A globally active early stage venture investor that focuses exclusively on legal technology.

We are the world’s leading expert on identifying and investing in the best technology to address legal business and practice challenges. Our
current portfolio consists of some of the most innovative legal tech companies around the world, linked below.

We help grow our portfolio companies by leveraging the resources of our team, our investors and our global reach to increase product maturity and company valuation. If a legal tech company wants to target Big Law, midsize or boutique firm markets, explore almost any legal jurisdiction in the world, or scale to virtually any sector or practice area, we make that happen. If the company is focused on the corporate legal market, we can connect them to thousands of clients through our network.

Nextlaw Ventures is wrapping up its current fund as planned and will not be adding any new companies at this time.

Nextlaw Ventures and Seedcamp, the first round fund for ambitious founders, cosponsored a global callout to legal tech startups. Selected companies received training, mentorship and investment from both organizations. We are developing similar partnerships to surface and nurture the most promising legal tech companies around the world.

Legal Geek is focused on providing community resources and thought leadership to legal tech startups. Nextlaw Ventures has partnered with Legal Geek since their founding to scout high potential legal tech startups across the globe and inspire change in the legal industry.

We invest in and partner with promising early-stage companies with great management teams whose solutions have the potential to fundamentally change the practice of law around the world.
Given current market conditions, we are not adding new companies to our investment portfolio at this time, but are actively seeking collaboration opportunities to help solve legal industry business challenges.
