AI Real Estate Law Platform Orbital Secures €50M to Expand in US & UK, Modernize Legal Transactions
  • The deal aligns with LexisNexis-backed funding networks, showing industry support for AI-driven real estate and legal tech solutions.

  • Current clients include Am Law 100 firms such as Vinson & Elkins, BCLP, and Goodwin, along with in-house teams and property-related entities.

  • Orbital, a London-based AI platform for real estate law, has raised €50 million ($60 million) in a Series B led by Brighton Park Capital to accelerate growth in the US and UK and broaden adoption across the real estate transaction ecosystem.

  • Orbital previously tested AI risk management through an early product-specific accuracy insurance policy for AI outputs in legal tech.

  • CEO Will Pearce says real estate is the world’s largest asset class and emphasizes modernizing the largely manual legal work that underpins property transactions.

  • Pearce outlines a strategy to build a global, AI-first company starting with lawyers and moving into broader real estate markets, including a US expansion and multiple offices.

  • Future plans include building a single secure workspace for real estate legal work across the asset lifecycle and expanding adoption among law firms and the wider real estate ecosystem.

  • New investors include REV (Relx), The LegalTech Fund, Moderne Ventures, and Grosvenor Group, with participation from existing backers JLL Spark, Outward, and Seedcamp.

  • The market for specialist legal AI platforms is expanding, with other players like Wexler, TrialView, and Navys cited as examples of the broader LegalTech AI trend.

  • REV’s involvement, connected to LexisNexis, underscores collaboration between Orbital and established legal information providers in advancing legal AI innovation.

  • Post-funding plans include doubling headcount, opening new US hubs following a 2025 New York office, and expanding across the real estate lifecycle.

  • Funding will accelerate growth in the US and UK, broaden adoption across the real estate ecosystem, and push product development toward a single secure workspace for full asset lifecycle work.
