Founded in 2015, David, as Co-Founder of Avvoka stepped into the world of LegalTech after a successful legal career - admittedly through blissful naivety, but also with a passion for disrupting the legal market with contract automation negotiation solutions.

Avvoka is a digital platform enabling businesses to automatically create, e-sign and store contracts online and was built to streamline the process of generating contracts on a mass scale. They are on the "Fuse" Allen and Overy Accelerator recently featured in Forbes, and have raised over £700k in equity investment.
