AORA is a leader in computational law, providing Opinion Automation. Our unique selling point (USP) is that we can codify legislation, case law, guidance and policy of great complexity, providing a reasoned opinion to a specific question for which the law has been modelled. Our automation determines legal opinions efficiently, cost-effectively, at scale and in a format and style indistinguishable from those produced by human experts. The value for the legal or tax practitioner (or in-house counsel) is being able to benefit the broader community with a rapid turnaround of opinions at a lower cost; take on complex cases; reduce the risk of errors - all the while using familiar technology.

We automate one of a legal practitioner's tasks - gathering facts, determining a legal opinion by applying relevant legislation and case law to the question raised (e.g. is this structure REIT compliant?) and presenting the opinion with substantiating legal arguments and citations. Our first product is AORA Nationality, modelling the nationality laws of the UK and Ireland. This product is complete and in commercial use.
The next product, under development, is AORA Tax - targeting segments of corporate tax law that are complex, dense and equally have heavy tax compliance and audit implications, for example, UK REIT qualification, Corporate interest restriction rules and Anti—Hybrid rules.
High-quality legal advice is difficult to come by and, unfortunately, laws and regulations are becoming increasingly complicated, voluminous, and difficult to navigate. People and businesses need legal opinions on a variety of issues often in a hurry, but a large proportion does not have access to, or are priced out of, quality, tailored legal advice. AORA addresses this issue by applying a ground-breaking technology, machine-readable law, to enable legal and tax practitioners to provide legal opinions efficiently, cost-effectively, and at scale. We believe that AORA has the greatest impact in areas of great complexity, where the cost of non-compliance and/or incorrect legal advice is high.
There are three sources of revenue:
Product subscription fees - recurring per user fees for opinion applications built and maintained by AORA. The products are designed for self-setup, self-enrolment of users, self-training, automated collection of fees from the bank and low administration.
License subscription fees - recurring fees for third parties to use the AORA low-code Platform to create opinion automations. These applications are for in-house use (e.g. within investment banks), or rented to other providers of professional services.
Professional Services Fees - periodic fees for consulting and supporting the third parties to develop their products on the AORA Platform.
