- Lawhive aims to democratize access to legal services for consumers, while helping lawyers scale their operations
- Funds will accelerate US expansion and propel development of Lawhive’s AI operating system for consumer law
- Lawhive has surpassed $35m in annualized revenue and now operates in 35 US states (soon 50) and the UK
Lawhive, the legaltech company transforming how consumer legal services are delivered, has raised $60 million in Series B funding to accelerate its expansion across the US and scale its model of building the world’s first AI-native consumer law firm.
The round was led by Mitch Rales, co-founder of Danaher Corporation, with participation from TQ Ventures, GV (Google Ventures), Balderton Capital, Jigsaw, Anton Levy and LTS. The investment comes within a year of Lawhive’s $40 million Series A. Annual revenue now exceeds $35 million, having grown sevenfold in the past year.
Lawhive is targeting one of the largest and most underserved segments of legal services. The consumer legal market in America generates $200 billion revenue annually, yet research suggests that up to $1 trillion in legal needs go unmet annually because of cost, backlog and highly manual processes. Everyday issues such as family law, landlord/tenant disputes and employment law remain slow, costly and unpredictable for many, while consumer lawyers are constrained by administrative work and legacy systems.
Lawhive has developed its own AI operating system to reduce the time, cost and administrative burden associated with these everyday legal matters, enabling cases to be handled with greater speed, consistency and predictability. The company created the world’s first AI-native law firm in 2023, now powered by 450 lawyers across the US and UK, practicing through Lawhive’s AI-operating system.
To date, Lawhive has helped tens of thousands of clients navigate family law, landlord and tenant disputes, property transactions, civil disputes, and consumer rights matters. Demand is being driven both by consumers who want faster, more affordable access to their legal rights, and by lawyers who want to be more productive, profitable and efficient by leveraging AI to scale their legal practices.
Lawhive’s mid-2025 US launch was met with immediate demand and rapid adoption. The company now operates in 35 states, making the US its fastest growing market. In addition to Lawhive’s Austin office, a New York office is being opened to support this next stage of US growth.
Pierre Proner, CEO and co-founder of Lawhive, said: “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.”
In 2025 Lawhive completed the acquisition of Woodstock Legal Services in the UK. Lawhive now plans to expand their model in the US, where the consumer legal market is highly fragmented and dominated by thousands of small firms that lack modern infrastructure.
Lawhive’s technology supports lawyers and back-office teams by automating tasks such as document drafting, research, case management, client intake and payments. Lawhive’s AI paralegal, Lawrence, works alongside lawyers and support staff to collaborate on casework and administrative tasks.
Mitch Rales, co-founder of Danaher Corporation, said: “Lawhive is democratizing 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.”
Schuster Tanger, co-founding partner of TQ Ventures, said: “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.”
Vidu Shanmugarajah, partner at GV, said: “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.”
