Orbital has raised $60m in Series B funding to expand its AI platform for real estate legal work, with plans to accelerate growth across the UK and US transaction markets.
The round was led by Brighton Park Capital, with participation from REV (the venture arm of RELX Group, owner of LexisNexis Legal & Professional), The LegalTech Fund, Moderne Ventures and Grosvenor Group. Existing investors including JLL Spark, Outward and Seedcamp also joined the round.
“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 is targeting a long-standing bottleneck in property transactions – legal review that remains heavily manual, document-led and difficult to standardise across assets and jurisdictions.
The company’s platform applies AI built for real estate law, alongside mapping, spatial visualisation and real estate data, to automate parts of legal due diligence and reduce time spent navigating interdependent titles, deeds and historic records.
By the end of 2025, Orbital said it supported 200,000 real estate transactions across the UK and US. It works with law firms, in-house legal teams, developers, title companies and REITs, positioning the product as infrastructure across multiple points in the transaction chain.
The new funding will be used to expand adoption across the wider real estate ecosystem and to accelerate product investment towards a single secure workspace for real estate legal workflows across the asset lifecycle. Following the opening of its New York office in 2025, Orbital said it plans to double headcount and establish additional US hubs.
“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. 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.”

For proptech investors, the raise adds weight to a clear trend – capital is moving towards domain-specific AI that can sit inside high-value workflows, rather than generic automation tools.
If Orbital can demonstrate measurable reductions in legal cycle times and risk, it could become a meaningful layer in transaction infrastructure for institutional and developer-led activity in both markets.
