Luminance was founded by a team with backgrounds in mathematics and computer science from the University of Cambridge. Its core technology uses unsupervised machine learning, which means the system can detect patterns and anomalies across documents without relying on pre-defined clause libraries. Luminance reports clients in more than 60 countries across law firms and corporate legal departments. In 2023, the company launched Luminance Autopilot, which automates routine contract negotiation end-to-end. The platform is positioned for both transactional and regulatory compliance use cases.
