AI-powered arbitration platform operating as a ‘private court system with an AI judge.’ Founded by Fortuna Arbitration — co-founders include Kimo Gandall (Harvard Law), computer scientist Kenny McLaren, and Brian H. Potts (20-year litigator). Launched February 2025 under the Federal Arbitration Act. Covers the entire arbitration process: filing, notification, briefing, discovery, and hearings via the Fortuna Arbitration Rules (v4.0 published). Claims 3-day decisions vs 60-90 days for traditional arbitration and 90% cost reduction (per Santa Clara University Law Review, 2026). Pricing is claim-size-based (public pricing page). Pre-seed funding raised June 2023 per ILTA Legal Technology Hub. Significant media: LegalTech News, LawNext (Robert Ambrogi), Above the Law, TechLawCrossroads. Academic coverage: SSRN papers (Feb 2026, Mar 2026), Harvard Negotiation Law Review, Santa Clara JILR, open-access book on AI and International Arbitration Law. Reviewed by California Judicial Council ITAC (Sep 2025). Reddit sentiment is mixed — r/Lawyertalk (4 months ago): ‘Arbitrus is a competing product that just spits out AI-written awards with no checks.’ No named customers or case volume data disclosed. Competitive landscape heating up: AAA-ICDR launched their own AI Arbitrator for construction disputes (Nov 2025, 30-50% cost reduction claim); FairArbit and FairBitration also entering the space. Arbitrus was first to market but AAA-ICDR brings institutional credibility.

What practitioners struggle with
Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems Arbitrus.ai addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.
International arbitration team manages proceedings across London, Singapore, and New York with different procedural rules, time zones, and tribunal preferences — no single platform coordinates hearing bundles, real-time transcription, and virtual hearing rooms across jurisdictions
Contract dispute needs resolution but filing in court means 12-24 months of litigation, $50K+ in legal fees, and unpredictable outcomes — traditional arbitration through AAA or JAMS is faster but still costs thousands in arbitrator fees and takes 60-90 days, putting it out of reach for small claims and small businesses
