Investing in the Future of Law

The Trillion Dollar Opportunity in Legal AI

The $1T legal services industry is at a tipping point. Driven by intense cost pressures and the demand for efficiency, Legal Tech is experiencing an explosive growth stage. Today's $32B legal software market will double in five years, led by AI.*

This isn't an evolution. It's a revolution.

The next wave of category-defining, AI-native Legal Tech unicorns is being built now.

LEGAL INNOVATION FUND

Legal Innovation Fund invests in world-class teams building next-generation AI-backed, scalable legal technologies.

  • We identify early-stage opportunities that have already achieved growing revenue, high gross margins, and superior technology.

  • Following the initial investment, we provide hands-on support, including distribution, customer access, product validation, financial advisory services, and more.

  • We follow up with larger investments into our top performers, providing continued growth capital and allowing portfolio companies to focus on company building.

Getting More Value From the Billable Hour

AI outcompetes the billable hour for routine, high-volume tasks. It is faster, cost-effective, and quickly becoming more accurate.

AI isn't just about cost-cutting. It empowers law firms and legal departments to handle larger deals and allocate more time to high-value strategic counsel. AI will drive efficiency, growth, and increased profitability.

Future Legal Tech winners are AI-native. They own workflows. They leverage proprietary data. They solve existing problems and create powerful novel opportunities. They have a sustainable competitive edge.
