National legal consultancy Lawbox has announced the opening of its headquarters at Spires House on Oxford’s ARC innovation campus, creating a central base for its expanding UK workforce.
The firm has also recruited lawtech engineer Nora Elnemr as part of a wider effort to incorporate advanced technology into its legal services.
Co-founder Natalie Murray said the new office represented a strategic step towards continued expansion.
She explained that the location would allow colleagues to work together while retaining the remote flexibility that had supported the company’s UK-wide operation.
Murray also said ARC was a suitable environment for Lawbox because the surrounding area was home to ambitious and innovative businesses.
The company’s increased use of contemporary technology was expected to improve the value and accessibility of client support.
Lawbox celebrated the opening with an office-warming event for clients, business partners and local companies.
Habitat Energy founder and chief executive Andrew Luers addressed attendees and discussed growing the company’s international operations through artificial-intelligence-led clean energy trading.
Founded in 2017 by Natalie Murray and Jamie Murray, Lawbox supports start-ups, scale-ups and established organisations throughout the business lifecycle.
Its advisory work covers corporate structure, contracts, regulatory compliance, mergers and acquisitions, and exit planning.
The consultancy seeks to make legal assistance as accessible and routine as accounting support, allowing businesses to resolve legal concerns before they escalate.
It also aims to reshape corporate and commercial legal provision across the United Kingdom.
