Dublin-borh co-founder Robbie Falkenthal previously worked at KPMG, Flutter Entertainment and RSM Ireland.

Irish co-founded legal-tech Wordsmith AI has plans to expand and hire in Ireland after a $70m Series B backed by Highland Europe and Index Ventures.

The Series B – which takes the company’s total funding to $100m – will help Wordsmith expand its workforce to 300 across the US, UK and the Europe, Middle East and Africa by the end of this year, while supporting a stronger push into its base in the US.

The New York-headquartered company employs 130 people with offices also in London, Amsterdam, Barcelona and Edinburgh.
