About Luminance
Luminance was founded in 2015 by AI experts from the University of Cambridge, who sought to address a growing problem. Contracts touch every part of your business – hiring, sales, suppliers, risk, and more. Yet most organizations can’t see or act on the full picture. Obligations, clauses, and opportunities remain fragmented and buried, slowing decisions and leaving value untapped.
Luminance’s Legal-Grade™ AI redefines enterprise decision-making, turning contracts from administration burden into strategic intelligence. Luminance’s multi-agent platform automates entire workflows, from creation and negotiation to risk review and compliance. It understands clauses, evaluates legal and commercial impact, takes action, and learns from every negotiation, becoming increasingly attuned to your business.
Luminance is not another CLM. It acts as a cognitive infrastructure: it understands, reasons, and acts on contracts autonomously, transforming them from administrative burden into strategic intelligence. By continuously learning from every interaction, it becomes more attuned to your business, unlocking insights, accelerating decisions, and fundamentally changing how legal and business teams operate.
This represents a paradigm shift in legal tech. For decades, the focus has been on managing contracts and cutting time or costs. Luminance goes further, leveraging AI to do what humans cannot, creating a unified intelligence layer across the enterprise, empowering organizations to act faster and smarter.
