The expansion will provide small businesses with easier access to legal assistance
NewLaw firm Sprintlaw has extended its reach to New Zealand in a bid to provide small businesses in the country with easy access to legal assistance.
“The NZ economy is powered by small businesses, who make up 99% of all businesses and employ 42% of the workforce, yet most of these businesses lack easy access to affordable legal advice,” Sprintlaw co-founder Alex Solo explained. “We’ve greatly enjoyed helping so many businesses grow in Australia and the UK, and we’re now excited to become part of NZ businesses’ journeys.”
He highlighted how the firm’s tech-enabled model can tailor legal services to the needs of small businesses and startups. Sprintlaw NZ’s offerings include a suite of fixed-fee legal packages and subscriptions to small businesses.
To fund the expansion, the online firm has amassed more than $3.5m. Participants in the funding round include ex-Smartgroup CEO Deven Billimoria and other angel investors.
In addition to investing in the company, Billimoria is also a close advisor to Sprintlaw, the firm said.
Since its establishment in 2017, the 2022 Fast Firm has expanded to the UK – the first Australian NewLaw firm to do so. Solo was also regarded among Australasian Lawyer’s Most Influential Lawyers this year.
