Anyone hoping to take part in the Legal Access Challenge has until 11 August to apply. 

More than 85 entrepreneurs, legal professionals, technologists, law schools and charities have already expressed interest in the scheme, an 18-month programme to encourage innovators seeking to use technology to widen access to legal services. More than £250,000 of funding is available. The scheme is run by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and innovation foundation Nesta Challenges. Anna Bradley, SRA chair, said: ‘Whether you’re a charity with a good idea or a tech firm looking to partner with a legal expert, I’d encourage you to get involved.’
