Lawhive has raised $60 million in Series B funding to expand its AI-native consumer law firm model across the United States and continue building its AI operating system for consumer legal services. The round was led by Mitch Rales, co-founder of Danaher Corporation, and included participation from TQ Ventures, GV (Google Ventures), Balderton Capital, Jigsaw, Anton Levy, and LTS. The financing arrives within a year of Lawhive’s $40 million Series A.
Lawhive said annual revenue now exceeds $35 million, representing sevenfold growth over the past year, and that it currently operates in 35 U.S. states with plans to expand to all 50, alongside operations in the U.K. The company positions its strategy around a large and underserved addressable market. It cited a U.S. consumer legal market generating $200 billion in annual revenue and research suggesting up to $1 trillion in legal needs go unmet each year due to cost, backlog, and manual processes. Lawhive argues that everyday matters, including family law, landlord-tenant disputes, and employment law, remain slow, expensive, and unpredictable for consumers, while small consumer law firms often lack modern infrastructure and are constrained by administrative workload and legacy systems.
The company said it has developed an AI operating system intended to reduce time, cost, and administrative burden for routine legal matters, improving speed, consistency, and predictability. Lawhive said it created an AI-native law firm in 2023, now powered by 450 lawyers across the U.S. and U.K., who practice through its AI operating system. The platform is designed to support lawyers and back-office teams by automating tasks including document drafting, research, case management, client intake, and payments. Lawhive also highlighted its AI paralegal, Lawrence, which it said works alongside lawyers and staff to collaborate on casework and administrative tasks.
Lawhive said it has supported tens of thousands of clients across family law, landlord-tenant disputes, property transactions, civil disputes, and consumer rights matters. The company attributed demand to both consumers seeking faster, more affordable access to legal help and lawyers seeking to increase productivity and profitability through automation. Lawhive’s U.S. launch in mid-2025 was met with rapid adoption, it said, making the U.S. its fastest-growing market. In addition to its Austin office, Lawhive said it is opening a New York office to support the next phase of expansion.
In the U.K., Lawhive said it acquired Woodstock Legal Services in 2025. Looking ahead, the company said it plans to extend its model further in the U.S., where it described the consumer legal market as highly fragmented and dominated by thousands of small firms.
KEY QUOTES
“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.”
Pierre Proner, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, Lawhive
“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.”
Mitch Rales, Co-Founder, Danaher Corporation
“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.”
Schuster Tanger, Co-Founding Partner, TQ Ventures
“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.”
