Wilson Sonsini and More Than 50 General Counsel Back a Legal-Tech Fund

On September 8, 2026, Reuters reported that New York-based GCVC launched with investments from more than 50 general counsel and Wilson Sonsini, its first law-firm backer. The fund did not disclose its size but said it had already invested in Sandstone, an AI platform for corporate legal departments, and Stilta, an agentic patent-litigation platform. This gives legal buyers a more direct role in shaping early-stage products and creates a feedback channel between client needs, law-firm strategy and vendor roadmaps. Participating organisations will still need clear conflict, confidentiality and procurement boundaries when they evaluate or recommend businesses in which legal leaders or service providers have financial interests.
