About us

Bringing together expertise from legal and technical backgrounds

MDR Research is defined by multi-disciplinary collaborations, bringing together expertise from legal and technical backgrounds, alongside public bodies and entrepreneurs. MDR Research operates as a community-driven space, leading conversations on the present and future of Legal AI research and development. Our outputs, ranging from open-source products to academic papers, aim to make our knowledge accessible to both society and industry.

We are striving to address the challenges of the absence of dedicated Legal Tech research hubs in the UK and the pressing need for improved data accessibility, especially within the public sector. We also recognise a critical missing link between the judiciary and legal professionals in the development and implementation specific types of legal tech innovations. Get in touch to propose a research project or join an existing one as we navigate these challenges and advance legal technology through collaborative innovation.
