History

Definely was founded by Nnamdi Emelifeonwu and Feargus MacDaeid, both former lawyers at the Magic Circle firm Freshfields. The idea emerged when Nnamdi, curious about how Feargus, who is registered blind, navigated complex legal agreements, realized the need for a tool that could make legal documents more accessible. This innovation aimed to benefit not only those with visual impairments but also the broader legal community. Since its inception, Definely has grown rapidly and has been adopted by top-tier law firms and financial institutions globally.

Proof: Automated proofreading software that performs hundreds of checks with a single click.
PDF: A tool that unlocks key information in PDF legal documents, making it easily accessible without losing context

Financial Summary

Definely has successfully raised significant funding to support its growth and product development.
