The One-Paragraph Summary:

Definely, a U.K.-based legal tech startup co-founded by Nnamdi Emelifeonwu and Feargus MacDaeid, has raised a $30 million Series B round to expand its AI-powered contract review platform, which now generates 30% of its revenue from the U.S. The company, born from a conversation about accessibility for blind lawyers, has grown into a full productivity suite for legal professionals, offering clause navigation, contract proofreading, and AI agents embedded in Microsoft Word. Backed by Revaia, Alumni Ventures, and Beacon Capital, Definely aims to simplify complex legal drafting without disrupting workflow. For Emelifeonwu, a Nigerian-born lawyer turned founder, the funding is not just a milestone, but a message: great ideas can come from anywhere, and change who gets to build the future of law.
