Antidote, an AI-based billing compliance software provider, has secured $5 million in a seed funding round led by Lakestar. This investment highlights the growing demand for automated solutions in the legal sector, particularly for addressing the challenges of billing compliance and revenue leakage. The funding will fuel Antidote’s expansion and further development of its AI-powered platform. The software integrates with existing time-recording and practice management systems to review time entries in real time. It uses AI to check entries against client Outside Counsel Guidelines (OCGs) and internal firm standards, flagging potential issues and suggesting revisions. This proactive approach aims to reduce the 8-12% of billable hours lost annually due to non-compliance write-offs and rejected invoices. Law firms globally, including those in the US, UK, and Australia, are set to benefit from Antidote’s solution. By automating compliance, the platform reduces manual work, streamlines the billing process, and improves client relationships. This shift towards automated compliance offers significant opportunities for European legal tech companies to compete. Antidote plans to deepen integrations with legal practice and timekeeping systems and scale adoption among law firms. This strategic move aligns with a broader trend toward digital transformation within the legal industry.
