LawyerClientConnect builds 850-strong legal professional footprint in first six months

*AI-powered legal finance platform reports growing adoption as it builds a connected ecosystem of finance opportunities for lawyers, legal professionals and their clients*

LONDON, September 2026, Approximately 850 legal fee earners are now represented on the LawyerClientConnect platform, just six months after launch, as the AI-powered business develops a connected ecosystem of finance opportunities for lawyers, legal professionals and their clients.

Legal organisations are now joining the platform on an almost weekly basis, spanning law firms, barristers' Chambers and specialist legal practices.

At the same time, clients are applying daily for LawyerClientConnect Client Fee Finance, enabling eligible clients to spread the cost of legal work while allowing their lawyer to receive payment within days.

The impact extends beyond payment flexibility. LawyerClientConnect is aware of dozens of clients who have been able to start or continue legal matters specifically because its Client Fee Finance was available, enabling access to legal services that may otherwise not have proceeded, while generating work and fee income for the lawyers involved.

The company is now preparing for the full launch of Interim Payments, its B2B finance solution for the legal profession. The product will extend LawyerClientConnect's finance opportunities further across the legal transaction, from helping clients fund legal work to helping lawyers access fees they have already earned. Interim Payments will enable eligible legal professionals to access up to 75% of billed fees within days, rather than waiting through traditional payment cycles.

Conrad Blanchard, Founder and CEO of LawyerClientConnect, said:

"Demand for legal services isn't necessarily the problem. The problem is often the payment. "A client can need legal advice today but may not be able to meet the cost when it is required. At the other end of the same matter, a lawyer can have completed and billed the work but still wait weeks or months to be paid. "That's exactly why we built LawyerClientConnect. Client Fee Finance can help turn an enquiry into a legal matter that actually proceeds, while Interim Payments addresses the other end of the transaction by giving eligible legal professionals faster access to fees they have already billed. "We're building financial infrastructure around the legal transaction, helping clients access the legal services they need, while helping lawyers win more work and get paid sooner."

The growth comes as LawyerClientConnect enters the next stage of its commercial development, increasing adoption and usage across its existing legal-sector network while continuing to add new organisations.

The platform is designed to work at different levels across the profession: a sole practitioner or individual barrister can register directly, while law firms and entire Chambers can make LawyerClientConnect available across their practice.
