Shape a legal-technology ecosystem before it is built
The JusticeIQ Founding Advisors & Research Partners program brings practising lawyers into the design process at the point where their input can still change the outcome. It is free, time-bounded, and explicitly not a sales process.
What this is not
- Not a purchase, licence, pilot agreement or commitment of any kind.
- Not a paid engagement — and not a request for your clients' data.
- Not an endorsement you are asked to give before you have seen anything.
- Not a mailing list; we contact advisors with purpose, not volume.
Who should participate
We are looking for practitioners, not enthusiasts
The most useful advisors are the ones closest to the daily reality of legal work — including those who are sceptical that technology helps.
Practising lawyers
Especially in personal injury and employment, where our initial wedge sits.
Small and mid-size firms
Where operational friction is felt directly rather than absorbed by a large back office.
Intake and operations leads
The people who see every enquiry before it becomes a matter.
Legal academics & researchers
Interested in access to justice, legal service design or responsible AI in law.
How it works
Four steps, at your pace
You can stop at any point, and you can decline any request without affecting your standing in the program.
Apply
Tell us your practice area and jurisdiction.
Share Experience
A short, structured conversation or questionnaire.
Review Prototypes
See early concepts before they are built out.
Shape the Roadmap
Your input is recorded against roadmap decisions.
What participation involves
A few hours a year, spent where it matters
- A 10-minute questionnaire
- Structured questions about your intake, referral and workflow reality.
- An optional 30-minute conversation
- A recorded-only-with-consent discussion about where the friction actually is.
- Occasional prototype reviews
- Short, specific reviews of concepts — typically 15 minutes, a few times a year.
- Honest disagreement
- Telling us an idea is wrong is the single most valuable contribution you can make.
Why it matters
Software built without practitioners fails quietly
Most legal technology is designed at a distance from practice, then explained to lawyers afterwards. That is how tools end up technically impressive and professionally unusable. We would rather build slower with the right people in the room.
Advisor input directly determines which problems we prototype first, which we defer, and which we decide are not ours to solve.
Where advisor input lands

Phase 2 — Prototype

Phase 3 — Pilot

Phase 4 — Governed intelligence
FutureAggregated learning, subject to consent and governance review.
Benefits
What founding advisors receive
We keep this list short and honest. We will not promise equity, revenue share, guaranteed pricing or commercial outcomes that do not yet exist.
Early prototype access
See and use concepts before any public release.
Direct product influence
Your input is logged against specific roadmap decisions, not collected and shelved.
Optional recognition
Be credited as a founding advisor — only with your explicit written permission.
Preferential launch terms
Advisors will receive preferential terms, to be defined and documented before commercial launch.
