The law firm Allens has opened the registration for its new legal accelerator called "Auctus - Allens Legal Accelerator".

This innovative project will be carried out with the innovation consultancy firm Collective Campus. The accelerator offers innovators and entrepreneurs in Australia and internationally the opportunity to develop their ideas and solve real business challenges with the support of Allens.

Through Auctus - Allens Legal Accelerator the start-ups will perform the following actions: contract creation and management, and risk assessment and compliance. For compliance, several solutions will be proposed: data analysis, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), data management, natural language processing (NLP), application programming interfaces (APIs), algorithm-based automation and reporting applications.

"We see enormous potential for the development of new legal technology products to add value to our business and the legal services industry, and we want to promote and support the development of this potential through our accelerator," says Anna Collyer, Partner and Director of Innovation at Allens.

"We are excited to partner with Allens to foster innovation in the legal sector. When you combine the domain expertise, brand and resources of one of the world's leading law firms, with the talent, thinking and speed of new companies and scales, you create the perfect conditions to go further, faster," says Collective Campus CEO Steve Glaveski.

Start-ups will be able to register for the program virtually. Those who are finally selected will be invited to an eight-week virtual accelerator that will offer a combination of expert advice, an education programme and facilitated access to the Allens network.

Register for this program here before 11 December.
