Legal technology start-up Tessaract has raised £4.6 million in funding led by Mercia Ventures and supported by Fuel Ventures, backing founder Cherilyn Tan and her team as they redefine how law firms manage their day-to-day operations.

Tessaract’s cloud-based platform helps firms replace manual processes with a unified system that integrates case management, billing, finance, and collaboration. The investment will accelerate Tessaract’s UK expansion, advance its product development, and build out client success operations under Mike Hinchliffe, UK Managing Director.

As part of its UK growth strategy, Tessaract is relocating its global headquarters to the UK, doubling down on the momentum it has already built in Singapore, one of the world’s most dynamic legal markets.

Tessaract is already used globally by firms to manage client onboarding, matters, billing, and compliance in a single environment. The new funding will support the next phase of product innovation, including AI-powered process optimisation and enhanced financial intelligence tools tailored to legal practices.

Law firms are evolving, and technology must evolve with them. Tessaract is built to remove the operational burden - enabling legal teams to work seamlessly across data, finance, and client delivery. With Mercia Ventures’ backing, we’re scaling that capability to more firms across the UK.
Cherilyn Tan, Founder & CEO
Cherilyn is an exceptional founder bringing clarity and efficiency to one of the most complex professional sectors. The UK’s legal market is among the most progressive globally, and Tessaract’s financial insight and workflow platform could redefine how modern law firms operate day to day.
