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.
