Carta, the private-capital ERP platform, acquired Avantia Law — a UK-domiciled ABS and AI-native ALSP serving more than 200 global asset managers across more than $15 trillion in assets under management — and rebranded the combined entity as Carta Law. Avantia's AI workflow engine (Ava) is now embedded directly into Carta's fund operations platform, automating contracting, KYC, and NDA playbook execution with attorney review of AI outputs. This is Carta's fourth deal since October 2025; Freshfields acted for Carta and Cooley for Avantia. The transaction is structurally notable: Carta did not buy a law firm to add legal advice — it bought an AI-native ALSP to embed supervised agents into a non-legal product and sell the legal outcome as a native feature. This model represents a new competitive vector for legal services, coming from outside the profession entirely.
