California's Senate approved SB 574 to set guardrails on AI use by lawyers and arbitrators, including confidentiality duties, nondelegable citation verification, and strict limits on AI in decision-making, sending the measure to the Assembly.
British startup Lawhive, which operates as an AI-enabled law firm handling routine consumer legal matters via a network of about 500 lawyers across three regulated firms, closed a $60 million Series B led by Mitch Rales of Danaher with GV, Balderton, TQ Ventures and Jigsaw participating. The funding will fuel U.S. expansion (now active in 35 states with offices in Austin and a new New York HQ) after revenue exceeded $35 million as the company grows quickly. Lawhive’s platform automates drafting, research, case management and client onboarding, with human lawyers reviewing work, a model the company says reduces costs and expands access to legal services, aiming to grow five- to sevenfold this year.
