Fuse

Collaborating at the intersection of law, technology, and business

Fuse accelerates innovation in the legal industry by nurturing a cohort of cutting-edge tech companies—from start-ups to emerging leaders in digital transformation—which are strategically important to us, our clients, and the future of law.

Fuse connects these innovators to an unparallelled network of world-class lawyers and business mentors, helping them to develop tools that address today’s most complex legal, regulatory, and deal-related challenges.

Launched in 2017, Fuse was the first permanent incubator of its kind. It has supported over 70 businesses, contributing to advances in contract automation, AI, data privacy, blockchain, and regulatory compliance.

Chambers and Partners’ LawTech Guide ranks Fuse as the only Band 1 entry in its "Incubators and Accelerators" category.

LegalTech stream

Every year, we invite applications from LegalTech companies from across the world to join Fuse. Our cohort brings together a select group of companies best suited to solving the firm’s and our clients’ most complex challenges. These companies work day-to-day with our lawyers and the world’s leading organizations to refine their products and services and accelerate growth. Since its launch, Fuse has received over 1,400 applications from LegalTech companies, including 272 applications in 2025 alone.

Client-nominated stream

Fuse also provides our lawyers and clients with a place to convene and develop their thinking around core themes of strategic importance. Each year, we ask certain clients to nominate technology companies with the highest potential and relevance to solve their challenges to Fuse. By collaborating with the selected companies, we develop a deep understanding of our clients’ macro-level challenges, strategy, and priorities, and enhance our own subject matter expertise, to better support them across their businesses. Cohort 9 brings together innovative solutions around the theme of Transformation and Resilience.
