“We founded Leya to give lawyers the tools they deserve, and now we have the backing to continue that mission. We are delighted to announce our $10.5M round led by Benchmark with participation from Hummingbird, SV Angel, and Y-Combinator.
At Leya, we envision AI not as a mere add-on to lawyers’ workflow, but as a partner that will work on their behalf in a trustworthy way. Our AI system is taking care of simple knowledge work, freeing lawyers to focus on what they do best; higher-level strategy, creativity, and problem-solving.
More concretely, Leya directly accesses files and documents right where they are. It then combines them with legal data from over 15 jurisdictions, always providing sentence-level citations and references to the underlying material in its output; both in Due Diligence reviews, conversation, and when editing or reviewing documents directly.
To develop this trustworthy, efficient, and cutting-edge AI, we have brought together engineers from top AI research labs with tech- savvy lawyers from the most prestigious firms globally. This unique blend of talent allows us to innovate, build beloved products, and prioritize the needs of our users. Now, with the backing of our stellar investors, we are scaling our team, deepening our partnerships, and building the future of legal work.”
