U.K.-based legal transaction management platform Legatics announced on Tuesday it closed a £4 million financing roundapproximately $5 million—from FINTOP Capital, including participation from existing investor Gresham House Ventures, a growth equity company.

Anthony Seale, CEO of Legatics, told Legaltech News that the company hopes to leverage the investment to help expand Legatics' reach into the U.S. market with the upcoming release of new features.

"The U.S. market is important to us. … We have clients that have offices all over the world, and they'll be using us in various places, including in the U.S. offices, but we haven't had a big drive into the U.S. in the same way that we have had outside of the U.S.," Seale explained. "So us going to [ILTACON 2023], taking this investment from a U.S. investor to understand the U.S. legal tech market, what it takes to be successful in the U.S., is a bit more of a step in that direction."
