Luminance on top Down Under with new Sydney office
The company has served APAC customers since 2017 and has an established regional office in Singapore. The Sydney facility marks the latest move in Luminance’s global expansion following its $75 million Series C led by Point72 Private Investments.
Over the past year, the company has opened offices in San Francisco, Dallas, Toronto, and Madrid to meet surging demand – driven in large part by its Corporate product, which has seen a 5x increase in customers and a 6x jump in ARR over the past two years.
Australia’s dynamic enterprise ecosystem and appetite for AI innovation – particularly across sectors like energy, mining, and retail – make it a natural next step. Luminance already supports leading organisations in the region, including KWM, Lander & Rogers, EY Australia, JLL Australia, Architectus, Gamuda and HSF Kramer.
More broadly, Luminance is trusted by over 700 customers in 70+ countries, including a quarter of the world’s largest law firms and major multinationals such as AMD, National Grid, LG Chem and DHL.
“We take a thoughtful approach to global expansion, investing in regions where there’s strong traction and enthusiasm for our technology,” said Eleanor Lightbody, CEO at Luminance.
“Australian companies have consistently been ahead of the curve as some of Luminance’s earliest adopters. Opening our Sydney office is a direct response to that demand, enabling us to better support and scale alongside it.”
Clementine Fox, appointed Australia General Manager, will lead the Sydney office and drive regional growth. A seasoned legal AI expert, she previously held roles including Partnership Development Lead at the Alan Turing Institute and Head of Account Management at Luminance, before stepping into the role of US General Manager.
Her work in the sector has earned her recognition such as a Women World Award and a shortlist nomination for ‘Rising Star of the Year’ at the UK IT IndustryAwards.
“We’ve seen such strong and sustained demand from Australian businesses that establishing a permanent presence became a necessity,” said Fox. “Having an on-the-ground presence means we can move faster to support those eager to deploy our AI and bridge insights between Australia and global markets.”
