NewMod Soxton Raises $2.5m For Startup Legal Needs

Soxton, a ‘NewMod’ law firm – founded by a former Cooley lawyer – and mixing AI and human expertise to provide startup legal services, has emerged from stealth with $2.5m in pre-Seed funding.

The New York-based New Model firm (see below) commented that it has already ‘helped over 270 businesses navigate incorporation, equity, fundraising, and compliance with ease by automating repetitive legal tasks while providing human attorney oversight. On average, Soxton has saved its customers $45,000 in legal fees within their first month’.

Founder, Logan Brown, commented: ‘The legal system was never designed for startup founders, and the traditional billable hour makes legal support slow and prohibitively expensive for companies at this stage.

‘Soxton is the solution: a platform that transforms legal from a black box into a transparent, intuitive, and founder-friendly service.’

All well and good. But, what does it do?

Soxton offers a library of more than fifty ‘startup-ready contracts’, and a plain-English AI legal copilot custom-trained on startup data, they explained.

Startups can then ‘streamline integral routine legal work from incorporation to advisor grants, through automated workflows’.

Soxton also offers over 400 clauses in a library, ‘with intent-based clause suggestions and support for uploading templates’.

Soxton’s most popular tool allows founders and operators to request a custom contract with a lawyer review. Founders can edit contracts using natural language, flag risks instantly, and access tools that translate legal jargon, they added.

The round was led by Moxxie Ventures, with participation from Strobe, Coalition, Caterina Fake, and Flex.

And last word goes to investor Katie Jacobs Stanton, Founder and General Partner of Moxxie Ventures, who commented: ‘I’ve never heard founders say ‘yes’ so quickly to a service like Soxton. Soxton is solving a pain point that every founder knows too well – costly, opaque, and slow legal services. The combination of AI and human legal judgment is immediately beneficial for companies at the earlier stage, but is also strategic for growth stage founders that don’t yet need to have a law firm on retainer.’
