Chamelio secured $26M in Series A funding to expand its AI platform designed to automate routine legal tasks while routing complex cases to human lawyers. Entrée Capital backed the round.
Chamelio builds software that automates repetitive legal workflows, allowing the platform to handle straightforward matters independently while flagging cases requiring human expertise for attorney review.
The funding will support the startup's expansion as legal firms increasingly adopt AI tools to manage caseloads and reduce operational costs. The approach addresses a key challenge in legal tech adoption—automating what's possible while maintaining quality control through human oversight on high-stakes decisions.
The legal tech sector has seen substantial investment as firms balance efficiency gains against the need for skilled legal judgment. Chamelio's strategy of partial automation and escalation differs from broader AI legal assistants by specifically targeting workflows where AI can operate independently on lower-complexity matters.
The startup joins a competitive landscape of legal tech companies, including document analysis platforms and contract review tools, competing to become infrastructure for modern law practices.
