When Business Insider, reporting that LegalTech funding had crossed $1 billion so far this year, curated a select list of 10 LegalTech startups, two hailed from outside the U.S. - Sweden’s Legora, which had an $80M raise in May, and Britain's Luminance, which had a $75M round in February.
This week’s edition of Venture Legal is a trip around the LegalTech world (Part 1), taking a look at some of the startup activity and funding news in Scandinavia and the United Kingdom, Legora and Luminance’s respective regions, as well as:
Australia/New Zealand, including Lawpath, which developed its AI system through partnerships with Amazon Web Services and Anthropic, plus a host of other startups;
Africa, where AI is “revolutionizing” the continent’s legal system; and
Latin America, as Harvey recently launched a dedicated team in Mexico, Barcelona-based Bigle opened a Bogotá office, and Lexter.ai and Jusfy led recent fundraising rounds.
