Lander & Rogers is thrilled to announce the commencement of its 2025 LawTech Hub program, with an exciting new cohort of AI-powered legal tech startups: Amender, Courtaid, DDLoop, Lawme, and Mobius. This year’s program will help develop and scale the startups that are solving real legal industry needs, while exploring the potential of systems such as agentic AI.
Daniel Proietto, chief executive partner at Lander & Rogers, expressed his enthusiasm for the new cohort, stating, “We’re very pleased to launch the eighth edition of Australia’s longest-running legal tech accelerator program, the LawTech Hub. The LawTech Hub enables us to work with the cohort to refine the new technologies being developed for the legal industry in order to deliver the best legal services to our clients.”
The LawTech Hub, established in 2019, has been a cornerstone of Lander & Rogers’ pro bono commitment to fostering innovation in the legal sector. The program provides startups with the resources, mentorship, and industry connections needed to develop and scale technologies that enhance the way Australian and global law firms operate.
Michelle Bey, chief innovation officer and transformation lead at Lander & Rogers, highlighted the program’s impact, saying, “The LawTech Hub was created to support the legal tech ecosystem while simultaneously developing future-ready technology for our clients. It’s about continuously advancing the legal industry in Australia and globally, and empowering startups. The synergy and collaboration between innovative, early-stage companies, and an established law firm are necessary to mould and evolve a thriving legal industry.”
An all-Australian line-up joins the 2025 LawTech Hub
This year’s cohort includes Amender, Courtaid, DDLoop, Lawme, and Mobius.
Melbourne-based Amender is a platform that catches every drafting comment in lawyers’ emails and mark-ups. It then organises these into dynamic issue threads, where lawyers can carry on negotiating with the other parties or generate an issue list in Word.
On the desire to join the LawTech Hub, Walter Myer, the co-founder of Amender said, “The LawTech Hub is exactly what we need: we’re coming in with wireframes and a minimal version of our product, and we want Landers lawyers to challenge and break these to help us grow.”
Courtaid, based in Sydney, is an affordable and powerful tool utilising AI to speed up legal research. The platform allows lawyers to chat to up-to-date legislation and judgements, with data updated daily.
Peter Cole, the co-founder of Courtaid, said on joining the LawTech Hub, “We are very strong on the technical side, but are currently relying on customer feedback and friends in the law industry for feedback on the tool and where we should focus our efforts. Partnering up with Landers & Rodgers will help us get to the next level in terms of insights and feedback to help tune our tool moving forward. It is an amazing opportunity.”
An “inspiring community of mentors, founders, operators, and industry experts”
Sydney’s DDLoop is a system that helps law firms automate legal due diligence of government registers, allowing them to deliver faster, more reliable results for clients on M&A, financing, and investment deals. DDLoop’s AI Risk engine helps lawyers process 1000s of data points, reducing the risk of incorrect searches and inaccurate reporting.
Jack Rathie and Nico Kunz, co-founders of DDLoop, said joining the LawTech Hub would help the startup to “collaborate directly with lawyers and users. We know the value of working with lawyers to get the details right. The LawTech Hub’s unique position is a great opportunity to work closely with Lander & Rogers’ lawyers to shape the future of DDLoop and legal work.
“The firm’s cutting-edge approach to AI across research, development, education, and ethics is a great platform for game-changing ideas and world-class operators. This direct channel to the frontier of legal technology is the perfect place to battle-test our product and strategy.
“Having experienced the creativity and power of the LawTech Hub’s community first-hand in 2024 at the LawTech Hub’s Legal Tech Pitch Night, we’re excited to join this inspiring community of mentors, founders, operators, and industry experts. Founders who’ve gone through the LawTech Hub rave about it and we’re super excited to join the program.”
A future free of tedious tasks
Lawme from the Gold Coast is an AI workforce factory helping unburden teams from up to 70% of routine and administrative tasks and paperwork. It’s a no-code solution that allows lawyers to build AI employees with toolkits such as templating engines, legal research, and integrations.
Jordan Parker, founder of Lawme, said upon joining the 2025 cohort, “The LawTech Hub offers a unique opportunity to refine and scale Lawme in an environment that truly understands the challenges of modern legal practice. The LawTech Hub’s established network of legal experts and innovators is the perfect setting to validate our product with real-world feedback, ensuring that our solution meets the rigorous standards demanded in the Australian legal landscape.
“By participating, we gain access to strategic guidance, industry insights, and potential pilot customers — all of which are critical as we move from closed pilot to broader adoption. The collaborative environment will help us fine-tune Lawme’s integration with widely used legal tools and workflows, ensuring that our AI ‘legal team’ continues to deliver practical, tangible efficiency gains for law firms.
“Ultimately, joining the LawTech Hub aligns with our mission of delivering a future free of tedious tasks, and we are keen to contribute to, and benefit from, this forward-thinking community.”
Learning from experts, understanding how to scale
Melbourne-based Mobius is a dual software and service platform that enables legal teams to amplify their impact by transforming complex, bespoke processes into an AI-automated production line. Mobius uses AI workflows and agents — all while maintaining complete control over proprietary knowledge and data.
Isaac Wong, the co-founder and CEO of Mobius, said: “We are really keen to join the LawTech Hub to immerse ourselves in a rich community that cares about excellence in engineering and building technology products that people love; we also want to connect with experts who understand how to scale products and navigate funding rounds.
“We’ve been inspired by some of the great startups that have come out of the LawTech Hub such as DraftWise and Josef. We hope we can be a great addition to the LawTech Hub!”
Courtney Blackman, director of the LawTech Hub, shared her excitement about the new cohort, stating: “It’s just incredible that we’re on our eighth cohort. Every year, we get to work with truly remarkable tech companies — many of whom have gone on to change the way the legal industry functions in both Australia and internationally. I can’t wait to work with Amender, Courtaid, DDLoop, Lawme, and Mobius over the next six months.”
The 2025 LawTech Hub program runs over the course of six months concluding with the LawTech Hub’s globally renowned Legal Tech Pitch Night, where the startups showcase their solutions to industry leaders, investors, and potential clients.
