Built and run software businesses across consumer and infrastructure for the last decade. Lives in the detail of how the pipeline actually works on real customer evidence.
Clients of family solicitors routinely pay thousands of pounds for the work of reading their own messages back. The reading needs doing, but it doesn't need a £400/hr human to do it. LegallyHeard exists to fix that one specific economic problem.
Strip out the hours of paid human reading that today's litigation forces on its clients, without giving up the accuracy, the chain of custody or the court-acceptability of the resulting evidence.
Family disputes are uniquely evidence-heavy, and increasingly they don't stay purely civil: a C100 application can trigger cross-allegations that pull a matter toward criminal territory. The same disputes that once lived in a few letters and a phone bill now sprawl across years of chat, photos, voice notes and shared calendars. The body of evidence has exploded; the way it's reviewed has not.
We're built for the place where the maths is most broken: people paying £5,000–£25,000 in solicitor reading-time fees, when the same organising job can be done in software for a fraction of that. We start with family matters and extend to the wider civil and criminal-adjacent disputes that grow out of them.
Pre-launch. Founders are placeholder-named below; we'll update with full bios at general release.
Built and run software businesses across consumer and infrastructure for the last decade. Lives in the detail of how the pipeline actually works on real customer evidence.
Has the relationships across the family-law and wider litigation communities that keep the product's court-format output aligned with what judges actually accept.
We are in early conversations with practising family-law solicitors and family-law barristers to act as advisors on admissibility, court-format and clinical-language norms. Names to be published with consent at launch.
We do 20-minute walkthroughs for prospective firm customers, investors and family law professionals. No sales pitch, we'd rather demo the product and answer the hard questions.
