Applications are open for Addleshaw Goddard’s 2026/27 AG Elevate programme, offering high-growth technology firms legal advice, mentoring and networking.
For founders, growth is rarely just about winning more customers. As a technology business develops, decisions around funding, regulation, contracts, intellectual property, technology and commercial partnerships can become increasingly important.
Having the right support around the business can therefore make a real difference. Access to experienced advisers, mentors and other founders can help leadership teams navigate unfamiliar issues, manage risk and make better-informed decisions as they grow.
One initiative designed with these challenges in mind is AG Elevate, a 10-month mentoring programme from Addleshaw Goddard for selected high-growth technology businesses. The programme combines legal guidance with mentoring, workshops and networking opportunities.
Participants receive 25 hours of free legal advice across specialist areas including funding, payments, financial regulation and technology, alongside one-to-one mentoring and opportunities to connect with investors, founders and industry peers.
For FinTech and payments businesses in particular, programmes of this kind can provide founders with another source of specialist insight as they encounter the legal and regulatory questions that accompany growth.
Applications for the 2026/27 AG Elevate programme are currently open and can be found here.
