Kim Simmonds is the founder and CEO of Law 365, an award-winning commercial law firm specialising in technology, AI, SaaS and commercial contracts. As a commercial lawyer, entrepreneur and legal innovator, she is known for challenging traditional approaches to legal practice and helping technology businesses access practical, commercially focused legal support.
Early in her legal career, Kim realised that many innovative businesses were being held back not by a lack of ideas, but by slow, outdated legal processes. Too often, lawyers struggled to understand the technology sector, negotiations became unnecessarily drawn out, deals stalled and avoidable risks surfaced at crucial moments. Wanting to change that, she founded Law 365 to deliver legal advice designed specifically for technology businesses, with a particular focus on Microsoft Partners and Managed Service Providers (MSPs). Today, the firm helps clients protect revenue, shorten sales cycles, negotiate from a position of strength and ensure their legal strategy supports their long-term commercial goals.
Passionate about innovation, Kim introduced one of the UK’s first subscription-based legal services and has led the development of an award-winning AI-powered legal platform, backed by Innovate UK funding, to make high-quality legal support more accessible for growing businesses. Alongside advising technology companies, SaaS businesses and ambitious founders, she also works with law firms to help them adopt AI, modernise their services and prepare for the future of the legal profession.
Under Kim’s leadership, Law 365 has worked with more than 150 technology companies, ranging from fast-growing start-ups to enterprises with revenues of more than £100 million. She has built a team that is majority female and has received multiple national awards recognising her innovation, leadership and commitment to client service.
Kim believes legal services should help businesses grow, not hold them back. Her mission is to remove friction, build lasting partnerships and give business leaders the confidence to scale faster, manage risk more effectively and achieve their long-term ambitions.
