Wordsmith AI has secured a $25m series A led by Index Ventures to scale its AI infrastructure that deploys legal agents across organisations to guide them to outcomes faster. With AI transforming the legal profession and giving rise to entirely new roles – like the ‘legal engineer’ – Wordsmith is leading the charge, embedding fleets of AI agents into corporations and training teams to wield them.
Ross McNairn, CEO and Co-founder of Wordsmith, says: “For the first time, AI infrastructure can be embedded across companies, with fleets of agents that you can train to support every corporate function – cutting deal cycles, answering queries, and processing complex workflows. Our Legal Enablement Platform is like air traffic control for GCs and in-house teams, helping them guide teams to the right decisions faster.”
Explaining the strong customer traction, Ross McNairn adds: “We are helping GCs embed their legal intelligence across the business. Gone are the days of legal being seen as a blocker, it is now a revenue accelerator.”
Wordsmith’s technology is not only transforming how legal teams operate, but also helping to shape a new generation of legal professionals. As AI agents become embedded across corporate functions, the company is seeing the emergence of a new role within legal departments: the legal engineer. Traditionally handled by legal operations managers, this evolving function focuses on training, deploying, and supporting AI agents, requiring an entirely new skill set.
Commenting on this shift, Ross McNairn says: “We’re witnessing the birth of an entirely new role in legal: the legal engineer. These are the people training, deploying, and managing fleets of AI agents. We’re helping to re-skill an entire generation to do it.”
