Antidote Legal automates billing compliance for law firms by checking time entries against outside counsel guidelines (OCGs) as work is recorded, rather than weeks later during billing review. The AI platform identifies non-compliant entries, suggests corrections, and sends fixes directly to fee earners’ email for approval. Co-founded by Nicholas d’Adhemar, former CEO of Apperio (well-known UK legal spend analytics platform). London-based. Raised $5M seed round led by Lakestar (Jan 2026). Claims firms lose 6-10% of revenue to manual billing compliance review. Addresses the ‘Saturday Morning Problem’ — partners spending weekends manually reviewing and rewriting time entries. Built by lawyers who’ve lived the billing compliance frustration. Listed on LawTech UK ecosystem, Crunchbase, Tracxn, F6S. Covered by The SaaS News and multiple LinkedIn legal tech publications. Very early stage (founded ~2025, funded Jan 2026) but with experienced legal tech founder and significant institutional backing.
