Aston University has joined SuperTech’s LawTech Innovation Challenge to help law firms shape the next generation of Legal AI. The partnership brings academic rigour to an eight‑week programme where legal teams and technology SMEs evaluate AI tools in real‑world workflows. With support from Aston’s Centre of Excellence for Enterprise AI, the initiative aims to create shared benchmarks, generate evidence‑based insights and accelerate responsible adoption of Legal AI across the sector.

SuperTech has opened applications for technology SMEs to take part in its second LawTech Innovation Challenge, calling on innovative companies to help shape the next generation of Legal AI. The programme builds on the success of its UK- first, sector-led challenge and provides SMEs with a rare opportunity to test and benchmark their AI tools against real legal workflows across multiple firms.
