Mary Technology Raises $1.7m Pre-Seed To End Fact Chaos – Artificial Lawyer

Mary Technology, a startup dedicated to ending ‘fact chaos’ in litigation, has raised a Pre-Seed investment of $1.7m (US). It uses a highly structured approach to data organisation along with the language understanding of LLMs to help litigators surface and control the facts of their cases.

The Australian company with major ambitions, explained that its Fact Management System (FMS) automatically converts unstructured legal documents into ‘structured, searchable chronologies and integrates with existing practice and document management systems’.

Its FMS – which is a neat acronym for this kind of tool, of which there are now a growing number across the global legal tech market – then ‘extracts, links, and highlights key facts directly from documents, giving lawyers immediate access to dynamic, source-linked timelines that surface inconsistencies and case gaps in minutes’.

The cash came in two pre-Seed tranches, and in part will be spent on growing the engineering team.

All well and good, how does it work?

Here’s how they explain it: ‘Unlike standard RAG systems with a chat interface, Mary Technology takes things like images, tables and charts, handwritten letters or reports and emails, and transforms them into clean, structured inputs optimised for LLMs.’

This, they add, is all about ‘enabling LLMs to extract and interpret facts with legal-grade nuance, such as understanding which document a fact comes from, what role it plays in the case, and how it fits chronologically’.

They highlighted their Document Index feature as a case in point, which breaks down bundles of documents into components, ‘then gives each document a relevant name, assigns reliable dates, generates a short summary, understands that document’s relevance to the case and categorises them by document type’.

So, now a lawyer can sort and filter based on the documents they need to interrogate by asking natural language questions such as ‘show me every medical report for Mr John Doe between X and Y dates in chronological order’. As noted, this is a useful combination of a highly structured KM-style approach with the productivity benefits provided by LLMs when it comes to text understanding.

And here’s a quick video of what it offers:

CEO Daniel Lord-Doyle, commented: ‘This funding allows us to scale confidently and push forward in our mission to give legal professionals the clarity and control they deserve. With our Fact Management System, we’re not just improving workflows, we’re reimagining how facts are managed and leveraged in litigation.

‘By automating fact extraction and organisation, we’re freeing lawyers to do what they do best: think strategically, build arguments, and advise clients.’

And all of this looks very promising. The company stated that usage has increased on average by 95% month-on-month since launch in July 2024 and clients report an average of 72% time savings on manual document review. They’ve also got a NPS score of 9.4/10 – and it’s great that they’ve included that metric. They’re also now part of Cohort 9 of Fuse, the tech accelerator at A&O Shearman.

Congrats to the team and good to see Australian legal tech producing more pioneering companies. Good luck to the team.
