Problem

Orbital addresses the slow, expensive and opaque legal-diligence work underpinning property transactions. Lawyers and property professionals traditionally have to review large volumes of leases, titles, historic deeds, maps and other fragmented records manually, creating hold-ups, unplanned costs, uncertainty, risk and stress. The economics are substantial: the investor describes billions of dollars in annual real-estate legal spend, while Orbital’s own market framing puts global real-estate transaction legal spend above $140 billion, with more than $60 billion concentrated in the US and UK.

The killer use case is accelerating high-volume or time-sensitive diligence without adding large teams of lawyers. In one example, Macfarlanes used Orbital on a 155-pub portfolio that had to close within a month and reported saving roughly 45 minutes to an hour per lease review. In residential conveyancing, the same problem appears in leasehold transactions, where firms must complete dozens of standard title and lender checks while identifying issues early enough to avoid delays and requisitions.

Product / Service

Orbital is a business software platform for real-estate legal work, combining three main offerings: Orbital Witness for locating, analysing and visualising property and title data; Orbital Copilot for AI-powered commercial-real-estate diligence reporting; and Orbital Residential for automated title checking in residential conveyancing. The system combines domain-specific AI with property data, historic records, mapping and spatial visualisation. Teams can bulk-upload documents, extract relevant insights, generate tailored diligence reports, and turn legal descriptions into digital outlines over maps or surveys.

The product is designed to augment lawyers rather than remove the need for legal judgment. Its AI has been trained and structured around real-estate legal workflows, answers complex questions transparently, and can review titles, surveys, leases, purchase agreements and other transaction documents. Orbital says Copilot can reduce review time by up to 70%, while customer examples report up to 50% shorter title-review times. For residential work, Orbital also wraps the automation with insurance designed to transfer some of the risk of adopting automated diligence away from law firms.

Market

Orbital competes in vertical LegalTech and PropTech: AI-powered property due diligence, conveyancing automation and real-estate legal risk management. Its addressable market is the legal infrastructure of the world’s largest asset class, spanning law firms, in-house legal teams, developers, title companies and REITs in the UK and US. The company is not pre-revenue: it reported that revenues had doubled in the year before its July 2025 Series A, then raised a $60 million Series B in January 2026 to expand in the US and UK.

The clearest alternatives are still manual, document-heavy in-house review, general-purpose legal AI and adjacent property-diligence software. Third-party competitor directories name Kira, VDiX AI and Terra Economics & Analytics Lab, while another lists Lawbrokr Storefront, Termageddon and Regy; the available evidence does not establish all of these as direct, like-for-like rivals. Orbital’s traction is nevertheless substantial: it reported supporting 200,000 real-estate transactions across the US and UK by the end of 2025, with products used by hundreds of law firms and other real-estate organisations; an investor separately described more than 5,000 professionals and more than 200,000 transactions annually.
