Our team is led by Andrew Wierda, a tax lawyer who previously worked on complex matters for large corporates at EY and EY Law. Andrew is intimately familiar with earlier generations of legal research tools and their limits, rich in content, but built on antiquated search techniques and unable to produce fully reasoned answers. Having grown up tinkering with computers and software, he recognised the emerging potential of AI, especially its ability to make information dramatically more accessible.

Since 2023, that conviction has fuelled Law Cyborg’s rapid growth, driven largely by word of mouth and proving revolutionary for many small practices. Andrew's vision attracted investment from Blackbird VC, supporting our expansion to cover more areas and law and expand globally. Today, Law Cyborg is used by Big Four and small practices alike, with 1,000+ firms across the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Australia adopting our research tools.

Andrew now occasionally admits he’s a little jealous of the technology practitioners get to use today.
