LegalTechnology Hub’s Post

So proud of our founder and leader, Nicola Shaver for another accolade as she earns the rare, second-time inclusion in the Fastcase 50. Congrats to all the estemeed honorees.

Congratulations to Leya today, on various counts! This Swedish-born AI Legal Assistant start-up has come from behind the gate in a crowded field, rapidly gaining momentum, and today announces that it has secured $25 million in a Series A funding led by Redpoint Ventures, with participation from existing investors Benchmark, Y Combinator, and Wayfinder Ventures, with the new addition of Alt Capital. A Y Combinator start-up, Leya has already established a solid client base in continental Europe and launched in the UK just a few weeks ago, announcing a partnership with FromCounsel that allows for legal research and guidance workflows in the platform. Rumor has it that the UK launch was hugely successful, with a number of firms rapidly jumping on board the Leya train. The company has also made a significant recent hire, bringing on board Chris Williams in the role of GTM for Europe. This high profile hire suggests that a continued drive to gain ground in Europe and UK lies ahead for Leya, though it's unlikely to be long before a US launch is also on the cards.

In the second part of his series on designing and creating your target operating model, VP and global head of consulting at Factor Michael Callier 「家利亚」talk about the importance of clarifying remit and scope - not just at the departmental level, but also on an individual basis. Michael cites a number of studies highlighting the increased importance of clarity, especially in a volatile and uncertain environment: 💡 Role clarity significantly influences individual engagement, effectiveness, attitude and retention rates 💡 Clarity around remit will improve interoperability between departments 💡 Lack of maturity around remit and scope can lead business professionals to avoid the legal department, leading to increased risk 💡 Lack of individual role clarity leads to burnout, bandwidth issues, and can reduce retention.
