In recent years, tech has played a pivotal role in transforming the UK legal sector. 

Technology is improving access to legal aid, providing increased security when it comes to sensitive and confidential information, and freeing up lawyers’ time through automation. 

In the UK, LegalTech is a rapidly growing sector. Companies are on a fast-track trajectory of growth, growing at an average rate of 101% over the last three years, outpacing other applied tech sectors.

We pose these questions to Dr Catriona Wolfenden, a partner in a law firm, who runs the innovation wing of the business and leads a team of technologists.

Dr Catriona Wolfenden is Weightman’s Product and Innvoation Director. She leads innovation and product initiative across the firm, ensuring that deliver is aligned to clients’ needs and Weightmans’ overall strategy.
