Luminance

Luminance develops artificial intelligence software for legal document review and contract analysis. The company was founded in 2011 by Emily Foges and Jack Waller in London, with technology originating from research at Cambridge University. The platform uses machine learning to read and analyze legal documents, identifying key clauses, risks, and anomalies.

The company's primary product is an AI platform that assists law firms and corporate legal departments with due diligence, contract review, and regulatory compliance. Luminance serves clients including Slaughter and May, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, and various Fortune 500 companies. The software can process documents in over 80 languages and has been used to review millions of legal documents across mergers and acquisitions, litigation, and compliance matters.

Luminance raised $10 million in Series A funding in 2017 and completed a $25 million Series B round in 2019. The company has expanded internationally with offices in New York, Chicago, and Singapore. In 2021, Luminance launched its contract lifecycle management platform to extend beyond document review into contract creation and management.
