A Liverpool-based legal technology firm has achieved notable growth in its first year of business after securing funding. The company is now preparing for its next stage of expansion, with new jobs on the horizon.
Lexio Tech landed funding from NPIF II, River Capital and GC Business Finance Smaller Loans, which is managed by River Capital and GC Business Finance as part of the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund II.
Founded in May 2025 by Ste Aspin and Tom Elsworthy, Lexio Tech was launched to provide specialist case management system (CMS) support and development services for law firms using platforms such as Proclaim and Actionstep. It addresses a growing demand for tailored, expert legal technology support that many firms struggle to access through traditional providers.
Since the funding boost, the company has hired two additional senior developers and built a strong pipeline of retained clients, alongside five major project wins. The company is now preparing for its next stage of expansion, including plans to recruit additional developers to support further scaling of the business. This is expected to create multiple positions over the next two years.
Looking further ahead, Lexio Tech also has ambitions to develop its own legal technology products as it builds on its growing market presence.
Ste Aspin said: “Starting a business is always challenging, especially in the first year, but the support we received through NPIF II made a huge difference during those early stages. The River Capital team has been incredibly supportive throughout our journey and it’s felt like a genuine partnership from day one, providing us with both the funding and confidence to scale at pace. Now approaching our first year in business, we have doubled the size of the team, built a strong client pipeline and are entering an exciting next stage of expansion. Without this support, we wouldn’t be where we are today.”
