A new angel investment network, Hamilton Ramsay, largely comprising former partners of major law firms, including from White & Case, is launching in the UK to help grow legal tech start-ups with seed capital and mentoring.
The angel investment group has been co-developed by Freddie Bellhouse, a former associate at Kirkland & Ellis and founder of the Fordhouse Equity fund, which invests exclusively in small businesses based in the UK.
The goal will be to support a new wave of legal start-ups, including those using AI technology.Freddie’s father, John Bellhouse, previously the Executive Partner of White & Case’s London office between 1998 and 2003 and who became an independent arbitrator in 2010, has played a key role in starting the investment network.
The grey haired angels currently number around 50 partners and former partners, and could rise as high as 100 by the time of the official launch, expected in January next year.
