Legal reasoning requires smart and experienced law professionals, and collating information and data takes up their valuable time. That's why Orbital has used foundational AI models to build an assistant for law professionals. The company builds SaaS solutions that transform how property professionals work by leveraging cutting-edge Generative AI and LLM technologies.
The company's products aggregate geospatial, property, and legal data from diverse sources to provide an unprecedented view of legal risk attached to properties. This provides real estate lawyers and property professionals with a one-stop-shop for property due diligence, allowing a vastly more transparent and efficient process whilst providing a better quality of service to clients.
Orbital's AI solutions are already used by thousands of lawyers and commercial property professionals across the UK and the US. It plans to grow its presence in the US and scale its team to achieve this objective. There is a huge opportunity to transform the way that property, the world's largest asset class, is transacted and bring it into the 21st century.
