Centari

Centari, founded in 2023, builds an AI platform that turns unstructured legal deal documents into actionable intelligence for law firms and financial institutions. Its Deal Reasoning Engine combines secure large language models with trusted legal precedent, drawing scattered deal documents and prior transactions together to accelerate work on live transactions.

The technical work spans generative AI, large language models, natural language processing and document intelligence, with a focus on knowledge retrieval from unstructured documents in an enterprise setting. The company has raised $14M and is backed by enterprise AI investors.

Centari's customers include AmLaw 100 firms and leading financial institutions, with applications across M&A, debt finance, asset management and real estate. The team brings together attorneys, financial professionals and engineers; it was founded by Kevin Walker, a former Paul Hastings M&A lawyer and real estate general counsel, with co-founder and CTO Bryan Gilbert Davis. The stated aim is to build a full-stack transactional law platform.
