London’s LegalTech Orbital raises €50 million Series B to expand AI platform for real estate law
Orbital, a London-based AI platform for real estate law, has raised a €50 million ($60 million) Series B funding round to support continued US and UK growth and expand adoption across the real estate transaction ecosystem.
Led by Brighton Park Capital, the round also featured new investors including REV, the venture capital arm of RELX; The LegalTech Fund; Moderne Ventures; and Grosvenor Group. Existing investors including JLL Spark, Outward, and Seedcamp also participated in the round.
On the news, CEO and co-founder Will Pearce comments: “Real estate is, by far, the world’s largest asset class. Yet the legal work that underpins it remains slow, fragmented and largely manual: opaque work that in many cases hasn’t meaningfully changed since the 19th century. Orbital is changing that with AI purpose-built for real estate, making transactions more transparent and reliable for all parties.”
Across 2025 and early 2026, funding activity shows steady capital flowing into AI-driven LegalTech, mostly at early stages, with a small number of larger growth rounds.
In Sweden, Legora raised a €70.6 million Series B to scale its collaborative AI platform for law firms and in-house legal teams, representing one of the largest European legal-AI rounds of the period.
Earlier-stage activity includes Switzerland-based Ex Nunc Intelligence, which secured €1.8 million pre-Seed to develop its AI legal intelligence platform; Italy’s Lexroom, which closed a €16.2 million Series A to expand its generative-AI legal services; Amsterdam-based Saga, which raised €1.5 million Seed for lawyer-focused AI productivity tools; Denmark’s Pandektes, which secured €2.9 million Seed to automate EU legal research; and Madrid-based iPNOTE, which raised €857k Seed to expand its IP-focused legal platform.
Together, these rounds account for approximately €94 million in disclosed funding, excluding Orbital. Against this backdrop, Orbital’s €50 million Series B stands out as one of the larger growth-stage raises in European LegalTech during this period, indicating increasing investor appetite for specialised, domain-specific legal AI platforms as the sector matures beyond predominantly seed-stage financing.
“This funding round brings together investors and operators who understand these challenges firsthand and share our conviction that the real estate legal category is ready for transformation. With their support, we’re accelerating our US expansion and extending Orbital’s potential across the full real estate transaction lifecycle – fundamentally improving how work gets done for the professionals who operate within it, and for everyone who derives value from real estate,” adds Pearce.
Founded in 2018, Orbital is an AI platform purpose-built for real estate law, innovating the transaction process for the world’s largest asset class. Co-founded by Will Pearce and Ed Boulle, Orbital supports 200,000 residential and commercial real estate transactions annually for more than 5,000 property professionals across leading law firms, in-house legal teams, developers, title companies and REITs.
Orbital has raised €63 million ($75 million) in funding to date, with customers including AM Law 100 and Magic Circle law firms as well as multinational corporations across the real estate ecosystem.
Kevin Magan, Partner at Brighton Park Capital who will be joining the board, added: “We recognised immediately that Orbital is targeting a critical gap in the legal AI sector. Real estate law is one of the most complex legal markets globally, yet it has remained dramatically under-automated. Orbital’s focus on accuracy, real estate domain expertise, and real-world workflows positions them to define a new category in legal automation.
“We are incredibly excited to partner with Orbital in this next stage of growth as they expand more aggressively into the US market.”
Orbital’s technology is designed to meet the specific demands of real estate legal work, a practice area that the company says is materially underserved by the broader LegalTech AI landscape. By combining AI optimised for real estate law with spatial visualisation, mapping, and real estate data, Orbital automates real estate legal work and enables transactions to progress faster.
The company says their tech will replace manual, document-heavy review across hundreds of interdependent records, maps and historic deeds (many of which date back decades or even centuries) and chart the course to fully automated AI-driven real estate legal processes.
This funding round will support Orbital’s expansion into the broader real estate ecosystem and accelerate product investment to build a single, secure workspace for real estate legal work across the lifecycle of the entire real estate asset class.
Following the opening of its New York office in 2025, the company plans to double headcount and establish additional US hubs from where it can best serve its customers.
EU-Startups has previously covered Orbital under its former name Orbital Witness, including its 2020 €3.64 million Seed round to develop AI for property due diligence and its subsequent 2023 €8.6 million Series A to further automate document-heavy real estate legal workflows.
