Legal tech raises $6B in 2025 as AI boom creates winners and losers

Legal tech funding reached $5.99 billion in 2025, with 14 rounds exceeding $100 million, according to Raymond Blyd, CEO of LegalComplex. The sector showed extraordinary valuations and strong revenue growth for some companies, though divisions emerged within the industry. Whilst top performers flourished, others struggled. Robin AI encountered funding difficulties, and dozens of legal tech companies that raised capital between 2020 and 2023 have failed to secure additional funding since then. The figures exclude debt financing by public legal tech companies such as Wolters Kluwer and capital raised by legal tech investment funds. The AI boom has created a stark divide between well-funded market leaders and struggling competitors unable to attract further investment.

The Consultant Model: Lawyers Are Doing It For Themselves

By Sarah Murphy, Clio.For decades, the path to success in the legal profession followed a predictable trajectory: join a firm as a trainee, progress to associate, and ultimately compete for the coveted partnership position. But a quiet revolution is underway – many lawyers are stepping away from conventional practice to embrace consultant roles.According to research by LexisNexis, this movement is gaining such momentum that by 2026, up to one-third of UK lawyers could be working under consultant arrangements rather than traditional employment models. The consultant pathway particularly appeals to mid-career and senior lawyers with a specialist practice area and an established client base.Importantly, the consultant model isn’t about working less – it’s about working differently. The rise of platform law firms that provide the necessary infrastructure and compliance frameworks alongside technological advances that enable remote work and efficient practice management facilitate this transformation.What’s driving the shift?Rigid hierarchies and inflexible working arrangements in traditional firms have fuelled dissatisfaction among experienced practitioners seeking greater autonomy. The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically accelerated this trend by normalising remote work. While only 4.7% of UK employees worked from home in 2019, a recent Forbes Advisor poll revealed that 63% of respondents now work full-time or part-time remotely.Recent return-to-office mandates have heightened tensions, while technological advancements and platform law firms have removed barriers to independent practice by providing essential infrastructure without the administrative burden of solo practice.Market consolidation through mergers and acquisitions has further contributed to this trend
