As real estate attorneys, you keep the most valuable asset class in the world moving. High-stakes, fast-paced work, where it’s the detail and the accuracy that you deliver back to your clients that matters most.

Whether you’re actively reviewing AI technology to support your firm’s work or you’re part of a real estate team observing the implementation, you’re likely to be presented with the same challenge: most legal AI tools aim to serve every practice area of your firm, as well as real estate. But when you’re dealing with physical assets, layered documentation and spatial nuance, one-size-fits-all efficiency tools just don't cut it. 

At Orbital, we believe you need the right legal AI technology that truly understands your world—not just your words. It’s why we’re announcing today our partnership with the American College of Real Estate Lawyers (ACREL), the preeminent membership association for commercial real estate. 

Joining the association as ACREL’s first and only AI partner, we’re looking forward to bringing our deep, real estate-specific AI expertise to their members.

Introducing Orbital Copilot (and what sets us apart) 

Orbital Copilot already supports leading law firms within the United States, including Vinson & Elkins, Seyfarth Shaw and Goodwin. Here’s why they chose Orbital Copilot (and why we believe ACREL members can benefit too):

  1. Built by real estate attorneys: our twelve strong team of legal engineers shape every feature of our AI technology, speak to our users and define our roadmap. As previous real estate shareholders themselves, they ensure the tool thinks and acts just like your real estate practice.
  2. Mirrors how real estate teams actually work: Orbital Copilot behaves like a highly capable real estate associate on your team. It traces relationships across leases, amendments, surveys, title documents, and more to turn complex, document-heavy tasks into structured, repeatable workflows.

  3. Understands the physical side of commercial real estate: Orbital Copilot brings spatial context into the review process. From legal descriptions to site plans, zoning and boundaries—Orbital Copilot fully integrates into a real estate attorney’s workflow to deliver insights that no text-only tool can match. 

Backed by industry leaders like First American and JLL, over 5,000 real estate professionals trust Orbital on over 100,000 property transactions each year. They do so because our platform is purpose-built for real estate law—and shaped in partnership with the real estate attorneys who use it every day.

We’re looking forward to supporting the ACREL network as we continue to build technology that can meet the real-world demands of your work. And we’re just getting started.
