Kyra Law

Founders put off legal work because traditional firms take weeks to quote, bill by the hour and reply with a memo instead of an answer. Kyra Law runs qualified, ex-City solicitors on its own AI platform: a founder briefs the firm over Slack, email or WhatsApp, gets a fixed fee quoted before any work starts, and usually has the contract back within hours.

Startups need three things from a lawyer: speed, a commercial view, and a price they know before they say yes. A traditional firm is built around none of them. A quote takes a fortnight, the answer to a simple question arrives as a ten-page memo, and the invoice for a funding round can run to a meaningful slice of the round itself, so founders either delay the work or skip it and pay for the gap later.

Kyra Law is a law firm, not a legal-tech tool: every piece of work is driven, checked and signed off by a qualified solicitor. What is different is the engine underneath. Every email, call, document and matter lives on one platform the firm built itself, agents draft, research and redline from it, and each matter writes back what it learned, which is where the hours and the fixed fees come from. A founder sends the request on whatever channel they already use, gets a fixed-fee quote within minutes, and the marked-up contract comes back the same day. The firm was founded by Julian Ritter, Joey Irwin and Jaap Oosterbroek.
