Legal Operating Intelligence System Filevine has raised $400 million in an all-equity financing, underscoring investor confidence in both the legal tech market and Filevine’s growing market share. Over a 15-month period, Filevine closed two funding rounds. The first was led by Insight Partners, followed by a larger subsequent round that brought in Accel and Halo Fund to co-lead alongside Insight Partners, with participation from previous investors including Meritech, Stepstone, Run Ventures, and Album Ventures, reflecting strong momentum and investor conviction.

New capital will allow Filevine to scale products that already show meaningful acceleration and expand AI capabilities. Additionally, this capital will fuel go-to-market strategy.

Today, Briefpoint CEO and founder Nathan Walter joins Bob Ambrogi to announce the launch of Autodoc, a breakthrough workflow that ingests a party’s production and opposing counsel’s Requests for Production (RFPs), then locates the responsive documents, applies Bates numbers, and drafts a fully captioned Word response—including objections and pinpoint Bates citations—in seconds per request.

Designed for the 99% of cases that don’t justify traditional eDiscovery, Autodoc gives litigators a fast, defensible way to answer RFPs without armies of reviewers or six-figure tooling. “We built Briefpoint to eliminate discovery work,” said Nathan Walter, CEO of Briefpoint. “Autodoc is a massive step forward: it reads your production and the RFPs, finds what’s responsive, and writes the responses—typically two to ten seconds per request—while keeping the attorney in control at every verification step.”

Today, Spellbook CEO and co-founder Scott Stevenson joins us to talk about the release of their new Library feature, which enables lawyers to turn their past work into a rich, searchable knowledge base, giving the AI a smarter foundation for drafting and review.

At the heart of Library 1.0 is Smart Clause Drafting, a feature that surfaces relevant clauses from a lawyer’s own document history—and makes them instantly reusable.

Also notable, according to Spellbook, is the ability to have "Personalization without Prompt Engineering:" Rather than forcing lawyers to become prompt engineers or retrain models, Spellbook uses precedent-based search and contextual language adaptation to reflect how an individual (or firm) actually writes.
