Today, Athennian became the latest legal tech company in recent months to announce a multimillion-dollar investment. But the legal entity management software company’s announcement stands out because one of its investors is a fellow legal tech entrepreneur, Clio CEO and co-founder Jack Newton.

Canada-based Athennian raised around $5.5 million during a Series A extension round that ended around the beginning of this year, said Athennian CEO Adrian Camara. The investment comes just months after Athennian announced it raised a $8 million Series A round in September 2020. The quick consecutive investments weren’t planned, Camara said, but were spurred by Athennian’s growth.
