London-based real estate legal AI platform Orbital has raised $60 million in Series B funding to expand its presence in the U.S. market and build what it envisions as a comprehensive workspace for real estate legal work.
The round was led by New York-based growth fund Brighton Park Capital, with participation from a diverse group of investors spanning both the legal and real estate sectors.
New investors include REV, the venture capital arm of RELX, which owns LexisNexis Legal & Professional; The LegalTech Fund; Moderne Ventures; and Grosvenor Group. Existing investors JLL Spark, Outward and Seedcamp also participated.
The funding brings Orbital’s total capital raised to $75 million since its founding in 2018.
Orbital positions itself as addressing a significant gap in the legal AI landscape, real estate law, which the company says is “materially underserved” by broader legal tech AI solutions. Its platform combines AI optimized specifically for real estate legal work with spatial visualization, mapping and real estate data to automate what has traditionally been a manual, document-intensive review process.
Real estate transactions typically involve hundreds of interdependent records, maps and historic deeds, some dating back decades or centuries. Orbital’s technology aims to streamline this complexity and introduce greater speed and transparency to transactions involving what the company calls “the world’s largest asset class.”
The platform ended 2025 supporting 200,000 real estate transactions across the U.S. and U.K. Its customer base includes hundreds of law firms, including Am Law 100 and Magic Circle firms, as well as in-house legal teams, real estate developers, title companies and REITs.
Aggressive U.S. Expansion
Having established itself as what it describes as the U.K.’s market leader in real estate legal AI, Orbital opened a New York office in 2025 and is now accelerating its U.S. expansion. The company plans to double its headcount and establish additional U.S. hubs to better serve its growing customer base.
“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,” said Will Pearce, CEO and cofounder. “Orbital is changing that with AI purpose-built for real estate, making transactions more transparent and reliable for all parties.”
Kevin Magan, partner at Brighton Park Capital, who will join Orbital’s board, said the firm “recognized immediately that Orbital is targeting a critical gap in the legal AI sector.” He noted that real estate law is “one of the most complex legal markets globally, yet it has remained dramatically under-automated.”
Orbital plans to use the funding to expand adoption across the real estate transaction ecosystem and build what it describes as “a single, secure workspace for real estate legal work across the lifecycle of the entire real estate asset class.”
