Sprintlaw

Sprintlaw is an innovative, technology-driven law firm based in Sydney, Australia, co-founded in 2017 by Alex Solo and Tomoyuki Hachigo. The firm was established with the mission to transform legal services, making them faster, simpler, and more affordable for small businesses and startups. Solo and Hachigo, both experienced lawyers from traditional corporate firms, recognised a significant gap in the market where small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often struggled to access quality legal advice due to high costs and complexities. This led to the creation of an entirely online and fixed-fee model, eliminating the traditional hourly billing structure.

What sets Sprintlaw apart is its commitment to leveraging technology to streamline legal processes and reduce costs for its clients. The firm utilises custom-built platforms, including a Legal Resourcing System (LRS), a 'Sprintyard' Learning Management System (LMS), and a Workflow Automation System (WAS), which automate routine tasks and allow lawyers to focus on providing valuable strategic advice. This tech-enabled approach facilitates efficient project allocation, knowledge sharing, and ultimately, faster delivery of legal services. They also offer an AI-powered legal assistant, Taylor AI.

Sprintlaw serves a broad client base of small businesses and startups across various industries, providing commercial legal services that address their foundational and growth-related needs. Their service offerings cover areas such as business set-up, employment law, intellectual property, commercial contracts, data and privacy, e-commerce, and capital raising. The firm has expanded its operations beyond Australia to include clients in the UK (since 2021) and New Zealand (since 2022), demonstrating a significant international growth trajectory. Sprintlaw explicitly states they do not handle disputes or litigation, debt collection, or personal legal matters like wills or conveyancing.

The firm has garnered significant recognition for its innovative approach and impact on the legal industry. Key achievements include being named Innovator of the Year multiple times at the Australian Law Awards (2019, 2023, 2024), and receiving the NewLaw Firm of the Year award in both 2020 and 2021. Sprintlaw was also listed as an AFR Fast Starter (#36 in 2021) and recognised on the Financial Times APAC High Growth Companies List in 2022. The firm boasts helping over 100,000 businesses across Australia, the UK, and New Zealand, underpinned by hundreds of five-star reviews from satisfied customers. Co-founder Alex Solo has also received individual accolades, including being named one of Australia's Most Influential Lawyers by Australasian Lawyer in 2022.
