Callidus Legal AI Secures Significant Funding for Future Growth
Callidus Legal AI, an innovative platform focused on automating essential litigation workflows, has successfully raised $10 million in a funding round led by Cervin Ventures. This recent funding brings the total amount raised by the company to $13 million. The investment is aimed at propelling Callidus’ product development and expanding its talented team, with the goal of maintaining momentum throughout 2025.
The legal technology landscape is poised for transformation, and Goldman Sachs has projected that nearly 44% of the $1 trillion legal industry could be automated with AI technologies. With Callidus at the forefront of this shift, the company has already demonstrated impressive outcomes, tripling its recurring revenue in the first half of 2025. Their AI-driven, end-to-end operating system for litigators has gained traction amongst over 1,000 customers, heralding a new generation of solutions in the legal field.
Justin McCallon, CEO of Callidus Legal AI, emphasized the significance of this advancement, stating, "AI has reached a stage where automating legal tasks is an engineering challenge that can be addressed. We are committed to building the most advanced and interactive platform for litigators. Our approach combines user experience with robust engineering and high-quality legal data."
Callidus distinguishes itself from competitors by not merely offering basic chatbot responses. Instead, it delivers real legal outputs that include thorough precedent research, structured legal frameworks, and comprehensive litigation documents richly detailed with citations. The platform’s research system engages lawyers throughout the process, transforming lengthy research periods that usually span an entire week into a mere ten minutes for approximately 85% task completion, allowing legal professionals to focus on finalizing documents efficiently.
As Taylor Oliver, a partner at Cervin Ventures, states, “Callidus isn’t aimed at replacing lawyers; it’s empowering them with enhanced capabilities. It refines a week’s worth of research into ten minutes of structured insight.” This approach is underpinned by a profound respect for modern legal practices.
The advancements made by Callidus include the launch of an upgraded legal research and drafting system, integrating proprietary technology with a comprehensive U.S. case law database, enriched with over 10 million legal cases. This allows for precise research and retrieval of crucial case law for litigation. In the coming months, Callidus plans to unveil additional features designed to address the pressing needs of litigators throughout the entire litigation lifecycle.
With aspirations to significantly expand its workforce across product development, engineering, customer success, and legal AI research, Callidus aims to triple its team size in the near future both in Texas and California. The company’s commitment to enhancing the legal tech landscape is reinforced by strategic alliances with well-known venture partners who recognize the critical challenges Callidus is tackling within the sector.
Chris Fisher, founder of Myriad Venture Partners, notes the importance of such innovations, remarking, “Callidus is effectively streamlining workflows for lawyers, delivering practical solutions that address real-world needs. The tremendous interest from investors reflects the significant problems Callidus is solving.”
