Additionally, Swedish startup Lightbringer secured €8.5 million in Series A funding to expand its US presence and accelerate its AI-powered patent platform development. LegalFly introduced 'Collaborator Access' to enable business teams to perform reviews under guardrails established by legal departments, while Kalisa and NuCAS announced a partnership aimed at increasing automation in managed legal services.

Telon, an AI-native services company founded by former Syke staffers Lewis Bretts and Tom Mellor, has officially launched with a 15-person team to support legal AI stack integration. Furthermore, Opus 2 released AI enhancements for litigation and arbitration, including live transcription services and a testimony insight feature that identifies evidence inconsistencies. Finally, MinterEllison appointed Pooyan Asgari as its first Chief AI Officer to oversee firm-wide AI strategy after his eight-year tenure as Chief Data Officer at Domain Group.
