Twenty20 Software Limited

Cloud-native UK legal practice management platform branded ‘Yao’, built by Twenty20 Software Limited. Co-founded by Natasha Lewis and Col Secomb, former managing partners at a UK law firm. Covers matter management, billing, time tracking, document management, client communications, and compliance. Key differentiator: UK-specific government integrations — Companies House, HMRC, Land Registry. Partnered with Zylpha for court bundle creation and LawWorks for pro bono access. Pricing at £75/user/month (~$95) with a contractual 5-year price-lock guarantee. At this price, Yao is comparable to Clio Manage ($79/user) — the value proposition is pricing predictability, not low cost. LegalTechBuyersGuide rates it as ‘outstanding new entrant.’ Known customer: Ramsden Law (managing partner John Ramsden publicly endorsed). 15 employees. AML/KYC compliance built into client onboarding. SRA compliance features and Australian trust accounting also supported (Yao has an Australian site). Implementation White Paper available via LSSA. No security certifications (ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, SOC 2) found for Yao itself. No independent reviews on G2/Capterra. No independent journalist coverage — all media is vendor-driven or partner-adjacent. Hindsight Legal mentions may be partner content (Yao’s CRO Matt Fiske-Jackson writes for ALCA). UK government integrations suggest strongest fit for conveyancing, corporate/commercial, and mixed-practice firms. Not suitable for in-house legal departments or large firms.
