A UK firm transforming the way the legal sector operates has been acquired.

HyperLaw, which is located on the Staffordshire Technology Park in Stafford, was founded by experienced tech entrepreneur Mike Washburn in 2014.

Washburn previously launched and sold ScriptSwitch for £50 million. In 2022 he said he had invested more than £1.3m in the development of HyperLaw, a provider of advanced case preparation and bundling software.

Now it has been acquired by Australian company Legal Ready, described as a global leader in litigation management technology.
