Queen Mary's free legal advice service for digital start-ups 'qLegal' held its launch party at Google Campus on 22 January 2014. The launch featured performances by the Oxford Laptop Orchestra and speeches by Professor Simon Gaskell, President and Principal of Queen Mary and former student, now entrepreneur, Sam Amrani, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Tamoco.

Simon Gaskell said: “London is fast becoming one of the main global hubs for digital technology innovation as shown by the vibrancy and growth of Digital Shoreditch in east London. As a close neighbour, the university is very aware of the role it can play in this emerging digital innovation hub”. Sam Amrani praised the work of qLegal and said that “legal advice is often expensive for start-ups.”
