Gibson Dunn is planting its flag in Spain, and it’s doing it the only way Big Law knows how – by hiring the country’s most decorated dealmaker and building an office around him. The firm has confirmed that Armando Albarrán, widely regarded as Spain’s premier private equity and M&A lawyer, is joining as a partner, triggering the launch of Gibson Dunn’s Madrid office.

- Inside AlphaLit – The Legal Tech AI Startup Rewiring Legal Intake and Access to Justice
AlphaLit’s seed round is more than another legal tech funding story, but is a shot across the bow of the traditional plaintiffs’ bar and a live case study in how voice AI and claims scoring could rewire the economics of “small” litigation. For most plaintiffs’ firms, high-volume, lower-dollar matters remain structurally unattractive. Intake on smaller civil claims is labour-intensive, non-billable, and often delegated to over-stretched staff, which makes it hard to justify the time spent on leads that rarely convert into seven-figure wins. AlphaLit points to a brutal funnel – roughly 64 percent of calls from potential plaintiffs never get a substantive response, leaving an estimated 55 million meritorious civil claims unfiled each year, particularly in working-class communities. - AlphaLit Raises $3.2M Seed Round to Expand Legal Access Using Voice AISan Francisco, CA — January 13, 2026 — AlphaLit, the AI company automating legal intake to… Read more: AlphaLit Raises $3.2M Seed Round to Expand Legal Access Using Voice AI
