Episode Details

Lawhive has grown to $35m in revenue after 7x growth in a single year and recently raised a $60m Series B to accelerate its US expansion. Co-founder and CEO Pierre Proner built the company by combining a regulated law firm with an AI platform instead of simply selling software to lawyers, using automation to reduce the cost of legal services and open access to help for people who would otherwise struggle to afford it.
