The Brief:
Sydney's Mary Technology raises $7m to fix litigation's "fact chaos" problem.
The Aussie startup is heading to San Francisco, with smaller law firms now in its sights.
Sydney legal tech startup Mary Technology has closed a $7m raise led by OIF Ventures, with Sydney Angels and Empress Capital also tipping in.
What is Mary?
Founded in 2023, the company has built a Fact Management System designed to replace the manual, spreadsheet-heavy process of extracting and organising case facts.
The platform converts unstructured documents, including discovery materials, emails, transcripts and reports, into a structured, searchable record with every fact linked back to its source.
The four founders bring complementary backgrounds.
Daniel Lord-Doyle is a software engineer who worked at tech company Virtually Human.
Rowan McNamee is a former lawyer at Clark Family Lawyers.
Harry Raworth comes from consulting firm Bryce Raworth.
Luke Abagi was previously a product manager at 1st Screen.
The platform's name is a nod to McNamee's aunt, a barrister described as "ruthlessly efficient." The idea: every firm deserves a Mary.
What’s next
Mary has primarily served large commercial litigation and enterprise clients, including Shine Lawyers, Maurice Blackburn, Hall & Wilcox and Zaparas Lawyers.
More than 2,000 lawyers globally are now on the platform, with 10x ARR growth in 2025.
The fresh capital funds a San Francisco office and a self-serve model launching in the US for the first time. New users receive 100 free page credits to test the platform with their own documents, with no enterprise sales process required. A move designed to target smaller law firms.
What they said
Oliver Darwin of OIF Ventures said:
“Fact chaos is a genuine hair-on-fire problem that’s gone unsolved for far too long.”
CEO Lord-Doyle said:
“Facts determine whether a legal case is won or lost, yet the way they’re managed hasn’t materially changed in decades. With this funding and the opening of our US office, we’re in a position to accelerate global expansion and continue defining this category within legal technology.”
