SUMMARY
- Avvoka, a UK-based legal technology company, has secured £14 million in growth funding in a round led by Valhalla Ventures, founded by Mark O’Hare and Lindy O’Hare.
Avvoka builds AI-powered drafting infrastructure for law firms, enabling legal teams to convert documents into structured templates that can be reused and improved over time.
Its automation engine uses large language models to detect variables, clauses, and conditions, while built-in controls ensure drafts remain aligned with a firm’s standards.
Founded by former Magic Circle lawyers Eliot Benzecrit and David Howorth, the platform was developed in collaboration with major legal organisations to transform precedents and institutional knowledge into structured drafting systems. Rather than replacing existing workflows, Avvoka integrates AI with the rules-based automation frameworks widely used by law firms, supporting high-volume legal work that demands accuracy and consistency.
