Checkbox AI
Australian legal AI company that automates in-house legal workflows through its "AI Legal Front Door" platform, serving over 100 enterprise organizations.
Overview
Checkbox has evolved from a general no-code automation platform to a specialized legal workflow automation company. In January 2026, the Australian company raised $23 million in Series A funding led by Touring Capital, valuing the company at over $100 million.
The company's AI Legal Front Door platform captures legal requests from email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Salesforce, and intranet portals, then converts them into automated workflows. Evan Wong, Co-founder and CEO, emphasizes the platform's ability to provide "visibility into demand, workload, and cycle times" for legal teams.
Checkbox serves over 100 enterprise organizations including SAP, PepsiCo, Hitachi, Telstra, Woolworths, Macquarie Group, and Invisalign. The company was named in Gartner's 2025 Hype Cycle for Legal Tech, positioning itself in the legal service management category rather than competing with general AI legal assistants.

Use Cases
Enterprise Legal Operations

Legal Service Management
The platform addresses the challenge of increasing legal work volume while legal team headcount remains static. Organizations use Checkbox to capture, manage, and automate legal work end-to-end, from initial request intake through contract completion and conflict approval.
