History

ContractPod Technologies Limited, the legal entity behind ContractPodAi, was incorporated on 6 June 2012,[3] though sources differ on when the company began trading, with some reporting 2012, and others 2015.[1][4]

In July 2019, the company disclosed a US$55 million Series B funding round led by Insight Partners, as part of a period of increased investment in contract lifecycle management software.[2]

Reuters announced the company raised US$115 million Series C investment in September 2021, led by the SoftBank Vision Fund, the first time the fund had invested in a legal technology company.[1] In 2023, the company introduced an AI legal assistant under the name "Leah".[4][5]

In January 2026, ContractPodAi rebranded as Leah, aligning the company name with its AI platform brand name.[5]

Products and platform

The company's core product is an AI-powered contract lifecycle management platform. In 2019, the platform's scope spanned contract generation, a contract repository, and third-party review workflows, with AI functionality built using IBM Watson.[2] By 2023 the platform had integrated ChatGPT and other AI tools.[6]

The Financial Times included ContractPodAi in a special report on how artificial intelligence tools were reducing friction in legal and contracting workflows, noting the company's partnership strategy with legal services providers and professional services firms.[7]

The company expanded beyond contract lifecycle management with a broader platform allowing in-house legal teams to manage different types of legal matters.[1]

In 2022, ContractPodAi launched a legal intake application intended to automate and triage requests for in-house legal departments.[8]

In 2026, the Leah platform became the company's primary AI platform offering, marketed for use by legal teams and other corporate departments.[5] PwC also announced a partnership with ContractPodAi to use its platform for contract management.[9]
