Robin AI, the poster child for the "AI meets law" revolution, is facing a harsh reality check. The London-based legal tech firm, once proudly promoting its genAI-plus-human-experts approach, is now cutting staff after its growth expectations collided with economic reality.
The company, once hailed as a rising star of legal tech for its AI-human contract review model, is laying off staff due to its inability to maintain revenue growth. Notably, the company's CTO and head of communications have also departed, signaling a challenging period for one of the UK's best-funded legal tech startups.
