# Orbital

> Orbital is an AI platform for commercial real estate legal work. Law firms and in-house real estate teams use it for title and survey review, lease abstraction, property visualization, drafting and negotiation, and deal coordination. Orbital was founded in 2018 by Will Pearce and Ed Boulle and operated as Orbital Witness before rebranding to Orbital. It has offices in New York, London, and Los Angeles.

Orbital connects the legal record of a property (title, survey, leases, and transaction documents) with its physical and spatial context, so legal and property teams can identify issues earlier and move transactions to close.
