Wordsmith AI Raises $25M Series A to Revolutionize Legal Roles

Wordsmith AI, a company striving to modernize the legal field through the deployment of AI agents, has raised $25 million in a Series A funding round led by Index Ventures. The company aims to overturn the traditional view of legal departments as impediments to quick decision-making, instead positioning them as dynamic entities that expedite business processes and aid in decision-making. Wordsmith AI has engineered a platform that permits legal professionals to evolve into 'legal engineers', a novel role focusing on training and managing AI agents that assist various corporate functions. Founder Ross McNairn, who has a notable background in scaling tech firms, leads the initiative, which has garnered notable clients such as Trustpilot and Deliveroo. The company is expanding its geographical foothold by establishing offices in London and New York to bolster its growth and enhance service provisions across the UK and the US.
