Valla & Amiqus join forces to offer access to legal help for workers
Posted On March , 2024
Pioneering Edinburgh based lawtech companies Valla and Amiqus have announced a new partnership, enabling simple and easy access to legal support for hundreds of thousands of workers across the UK.
The agreement will see Valla’s innovative legal platform – which uses cutting-edge Generative AI to help workers identify legal issues and manage their own Employment Tribunal case – available as a service through Amiqus’s industry-leading staff and client onboarding platform.
With Amiqus powering over 60,000 onboarding journeys every month for new hires in the NHS, civil service and more, Valla anticipates that these job movers will be the prime candidates to benefit from its employment law support service.
Valla will be highlighted as the featured partner for Amiqus’ new ‘wallet’ functionality which is due to be released later this year for their existing network of clients, enabling use of reusable digital identity credentials, evidencing digital right to work and seamlessly connecting people through joiner, mover and leaver processes within regulated sectors.
In addition, the two companies are exploring a B2B distribution deal for law firms, which would see Valla’s AI-augmented case assessment tools offered to Amiqus’ partner law firms, large scale recruiters and employers across the UK.
Danae Shell, CEO and founder of Valla, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to agree this partnership with Amiqus. They have been supporters of Valla from the very beginning and are completely aligned with our mission and values – and it’s great that they see the incredible potential that our tools can bring to democratise legal services.
Amiqus works with some of the biggest law firms across the country as clients, so we also expect this deal will open many new doors for us to bring our platform to innovative firms. We can’t wait to show how our AI functionality can deliver real benefits to these firms and their clients.”
He added: “It’s a very exciting time for Valla just now. In the last year, we’ve achieved a tenfold increase in sales and won the backing of some major names in fintech and legal services. With this new partnership in place, we expect to maintain this impressive growth and push our business to the next level.”
Callum Murray, CEO of Amiqus, added: “We’re huge fans of Valla. Like us, they’re a fast growing, Edinburgh headquartered company and making a real impact in the lawtech space across the country. It made perfect sense to work collaboratively with them on their journey.
As a key partner for our upcoming wallet product, Valla is perfectly placed to reach hundreds of thousands of potential users offering legal help and remedy for people at a time they need it most. The two sided value is of course there for our own clients by offering access to Valla’s cutting-edge process automation, product integration and support to our network of trusted legal advisors and experts.”
