Newcastle-based legal-AI startup AttiFin AI has raised £5 million in seed funding ahead of a planned launch in early 2026, aiming to build what it says will be Britain’s first enterprise-grade AI platform trained specifically on UK and devolved law.

The round lands as the domestic legal market continues to expand and LegalTech funding accelerates, with investors backing tools that can handle jurisdiction-specific complexity.

Backed by the founders of Scrumconnect, AttiFin is leaning on its team’s criminal-justice track record to shape a product focused on the nuances of UK legal practice.

The funding will support a Newcastle relocation and the hiring of at least 25 technical roles over the next year.
