The Quantuma Corporate Finance team, led by managing director Scott Peters and supported by analyst Seb Smith, worked closely with Mel Kang, CEO at Silks, to understand its financial requirements and provide tailored advice. This collaborative approach resulted in securing a funding solution from Force Over Mass Capital LLP that will enable Silks to accelerate its growth.

Established in 2024, London Silks emerged to address inefficiencies in UK law firms, particularly SMEs, by layering AI intelligence over core practice management systems without requiring a full overhaul. A key feature of Silks is its enterprise level compliance.

Given its rapid growth, Silks will commence its next fund-raising round with Quantuma in Q2 of 2026.

Mel Kang, CEO at Silks, commented:

"We founded Silks to solve a specific problem: giving mid-market law firms access to cutting-edge AI that is both powerful and compliant. This investment validates that vision. Quantuma understood our value proposition immediately, and their guidance was key in securing the capital we need to drive our next phase of development."

Seb Smith, analyst at Quantuma, added:  

“Working with Silks has been a pleasure. Their focus on enterprise-level compliance and seamless integration makes them a standout proposition in the legal tech space. It is rewarding to have played a part in their journey, ensuring they have the financial backing required to scale their operations effectively.”

Collateral Warranties: What’s the point, and why are funders skipping them?

There’s a pattern worth calling out: on smaller transactions, banks and funders increasingly treat collateral warranties as optional.
