Market Traction

We are collaborating with Hogan Lovells in their production of equity capital markets documentation and we are already discussing expanding that collaboration into real estate, intellectual property and debt capital markets. The creation of a digital data set from inception is an extremely powerful complement to their state of the art DriveChain ledger product.

We are collaborating with a spin out from a top university and a top law firm who are tokenising payment streams and assets in an industry reliant on licences. They can’t tokenise payment streams without having a digital data set of the commercial terms in those licences. LawFairy is the solution. The collaboration is so important to them, they are structuring the collaboration so that LawFairy owns 10% of their business and LawFairy’s founder joins their board. Abundance is an ESG platform and our collaboration with them has automated their project finance documents to transform the speed and cost effectiveness of their deal execution.

Current Operations in APAC

Hogan Lovells has operations in Singapore and so indirectly, we have an inroad into the APAC region but the partnership is very young and is focused on the United Kingdom and Europe initially.

Clients Include
