Legal Services Board joins UK government AI Growth Lab to guide legal tech testing
The LSB joined the UK government's AI Growth Lab to help legal firms test AI tools under supervised regulatory guidance.Summary
The Legal Services Board joined the UK government's AI Growth Lab on 8 June 2026 to support legal service providers and legal tech companies in testing AI products in a controlled advisory sandbox. Regulators will offer practical guidance on how existing rules apply, though participation does not constitute approval or endorsement. The LSB will work with the Council for Licensed Conveyancers, the Solicitors Regulation Authority, and the Information Commissioner's Office on issues including client confidentiality, data protection, and explainability. After testing, regulators will consider whether rule changes are needed to protect consumers while encouraging innovation. Applications are expected to open later in the summer, and firms are advised to prepare governance frameworks before applying.
