The American Bar Association’s Techshow, a prominent legal technology conference, showcased the annual Startup Alley pitch competition in its tenth iteration this year in Chicago. Leading the pack of innovators, CollBox emerged as the winner, providing a solution aimed at assisting law firms in expediting payment processes.
CollBox was one of 15 legal tech startups vying for recognition in this year’s competition. The selection process involved evaluating a larger pool of applicants, eventually narrowing it down to those who would make their case at the event. Competitors had a challenging task: succinctly present their ideas within a three-minute window to an audience whose votes would determine the winner.
In a closely contested competition, Candle AI secured second place. Candle AI offers an email assistant service designed for small and mid-sized law firms to tackle email congestion, an issue that many legal professionals face daily. The third spot went to Lawdify, recognized for its autonomous AI agent that aids in disputes and claims assessment.
Since its inception, the Startup Alley pitch competition has served as the opening spectacle at the ABA Techshow, providing a platform for emerging technologies that could reshape the legal sector. For ten years running, Clio has sponsored the event, underlining its commitment to fostering innovation within legal tech.
