Summary
Jonathan Kanter and Doha Mekki, former Biden antitrust enforcers, have launched FluxCap, an AI company building tools for litigators.
FluxCap says its product can speed claim evaluation, evidence discovery and analysis, and argument drafting—work that often consumes large teams of junior lawyers.
Kanter said the aim is to let small groups of elite lawyers litigate at scale and pursue meritorious cases that otherwise get dropped because legal work is too resource-intensive.
$3.2 billion flowed into legal startups in 2025, up nearly 150% from 2024, as rivals including Harvey, Legora, Google, Anthropic and OpenAI push AI tools for lawyers.
FluxCap plans to differentiate itself through deep legal domain expertise, starting with antitrust, where Kanter and Mekki built high-profile cases against major tech companies.
