Former DOJ attorneys launch AI company to help lawyers help more people

What happened: Two former Justice Department officials, Jonathan Kanter and Doha Mekki, launched FluxCap, an AI platform for complex legal work with an initial focus on antitrust law. Key numbers: Kanter estimates his DOJ team could pursue about 10% of the cases it believed were worth bringing. Mekki spent a decade at the Justice Department. Why it matters: The founders say the tool handles document review and legal research in a fraction of the time, aiming to help smaller firms and government agencies take on cases they might otherwise never bring.
