Chamelio Raises $26M Series A to Replace Legacy CLM with AI-Native In-House Legal Operations

Powered by agentic AI, Chamelio's platform is primed to replace outdated legacy contract lifecycle management systems and empower legal teams to embrace AI-powered operations. Since its seed round five months ago, Chamelio's ARR has grown 4x

NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Chamelio, the AI-native platform for in-house legal teams, today announced a $26 million Series A round led by Entrée Capital, with participation from existing investors Work-Bench and Emerge Ventures. Bright Pixel Capital also participated. Chamelio boasts hundreds of customers, including Wiz, monday.com, Socure, AppsFlyer, and Wonderful.ai. The company will use the new funding to further develop its proprietary legal action model, grow its legal engineering and product teams and invest further in onboarding technology.

In-house legal departments are overworked and understaffed, with workload demands surging, while budgets and headcount are not keeping pace. An Association of Corporate Counsel survey from this year found that budget and resource constraints were a key barrier to success. Meanwhile, only 32% of legal departments expect to add attorney headcount this year, according to CLOC's 2026 State of the Industry Report. Most in-house legal teams are still relying on legacy Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) software built to store contracts, not analyze or act on them, with the painstaking additional work falling on the same number of overburdened teams.

The legal sector has adopted AI faster than almost any other profession. Deloitte predicts in three years, 30% of a legal team will be AI agents, and one in five will be hybrid lawyer-engineers. This role bridges the gap between technology and legal expertise. Chamelio enables the legal teams of today to delegate the tedious manual labor of contract review to autonomous agents, laying the groundwork for a completely different in-house composition of the future, consisting of both lawyers and AI agents.

Chamelio is an AI-native legal platform for in-house teams that manages and executes the full contract lifecycle, from drafting and negotiation to approvals, obligations, and ongoing legal workflows. Unlike traditional contract management systems built primarily to store documents and manage processes, Chamelio is trained on legal actions and can perform the work itself. It drafts from a company's own contracts, reviews and negotiates terms, routes requests, manages obligations, and executes multistep legal workflows. Customers can deploy it autonomously for routine, low-risk work or keep a lawyer in the loop where oversight is needed. By handling routine tasks and decisions independently and escalating only the edge cases that require human judgment, Chamelio shifts the in-house lawyer's role from labor-intensive execution to strategic oversight and judgment.

Chamelio also allows legal teams to easily build their own agents which support and interact with multiple functions across the organization, from procurement to finance, product to people, compliance to sales, helping scale and amplify legal capabilities for enterprise in the AI era.

"The mistake in legal AI has been assuming the future simply looks like today's lawyer with faster contractual fact-checking," said Alex Zilberman, CEO and co-founder of Chamelio. "AI in a legal setting shows dividends when it can make decisions intuitively, built on the corporate intelligence of each individual business. This is what Chamelio does. We ensure in-house legal departments deliver watertight contracts and outputs at AI speed, validated by the rigor of lawyers."

"Chamelio is building the AI-native operating system for in-house legal teams - becoming the system of record, system of action, and system of intelligence for the modern legal function," said Eran Bielski, General Partner at Entrée Capital. "What stood out to us was not only the strength of the product, but how quickly Chamelio's founders execute, learn from customer feedback, and turn that feedback into a product with category-defining potential."

Chamelio's platform integrates with CRMs like Salesforce, as well as other tools such as Slack, NetSuite and procurement systems. Every deployment from Chamelio's platform contains access to dedicated legal engineering expertise that helps customers migrate from legacy systems, structure their repositories, translate existing processes into workflows and get AI into production quickly.

Zilberman added: "Chamelio is empowering the next era of legal operations, one which includes vital human legal judgment, backed by legal engineers who turn that knowledge into systems and AI agents. With our platform underpinning every facet of in-house contract execution, we are redefining how in-house legal activities are carried out."
