Tech innovation
At Fuse we fuel a culture of digital innovation in the legal sector.
We identify best-in-class technologies, provide experiential learning opportunities and promote technology adoption, by bringing together A&O lawyers and clients with our resident cutting-edge tech providers.
Our hub provides a collaborative space where teams can experiment with, develop and test legal, regulatory and deal-related solutions.
The quality of applications is a clear sign that we remain attractive to the LegalTech ecosystem. I was particularly impressed by the novelty of approach of some teams. This clearly demonstrates that the legal sector remains ripe for disruptive transformation and that Fuse serves as a key focal point to uncover and support these exciting new technologies.
