Twelve of the world’s top law firms, including Clifford Chance (CC), Linklaters and Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, have joined a consortium to support a legal tech startup that has created a platform to allow firms to more quickly deploy legal tech tools such as contract analysis, discovery and practice management.

The new venture, called Reynen Court, is akin to creating an app store that will allow law firms to quickly and more securely fire up third-party software.
