UK-founded real estate tech platform Orbital has raised a $60M Series B funding round led by New York-based growth fund, Brighton Park Capital (BPC) as it looks to further expand in the United States and across the real estate transaction ecosystem. The round also featured participation from new investors including REV – the venture capital arm of RELX which owns LexisNexis Legal & Professional – and The LegalTech Fund, among others.
Following the opening of its New York office in 2025, Orbital says it plans to double headcount and establish additional US hubs from where it can best serve its customers.
Orbital’s technology is designed to meet the specific demands of real estate legal work. It says that by combining AI optimized for real estate law with spatial visualization, mapping, and real estate data, it can automate transactions and replace manual, document-heavy review across interdependent records, maps and historic deeds (many of which date back decades or even centuries).
Orbital ended 2025 supporting 200,000 real estate transactions across the US and UK. Its products are used by law firms across the Am Law 100, magic circle, and beyond, as well as in-house legal teams, real estate developers, title companies, and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs).
CEO and co-founder Will Pearce said: “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. With their support, we’re accelerating our US expansion and extending Orbital’s potential across the full real estate transaction lifecycle – fundamentally improving how work gets done for the professionals who operate within it, and for everyone who derives value from real estate.”
Orbital (at the time called Orbital Witness) was one of the first start-ups to take part in Mishcon de Reya’s inaugural MRD LAB in 2017. From comparatively humble raises in the early days of $1.6m (2019) and £4.5m (2020), the company has now raised a total of $75m.
Sean Fitzpatrick, CEO of LexisNexis North America, UK & Ireland commented: “LexisNexis Legal & Professional and REV invest in customer-centric innovators who strive to make it easier for legal professionals to do their work. Orbital shares our commitment to advancing legal AI innovation that helps professionals achieve better outcomes and drive greater value for their organizations.”
