The legal industry has long been seen as an immovable force, governed by tradition and resistant to change. For Katya Fisher, those established norms were not rules to follow but challenges to overcome. Her career reflects a determination to do more than navigate the system. She set out to reimagine it entirely, blending creative problem-solving with a drive to transform how lawyers work. Along the way, she realized that excelling in law was not enough. The profession needed better tools, and Katya was determined to build them.
Katya graduated from law school during the Great Recession, a time when jobs in law were scarce and competition was fierce. Many new lawyers found themselves stuck, waiting for the economy to recover. But Katya took a different approach. At just 27, she launched her own law practice, a bold move that set the stage for her career.
The decision paid off, with Katya’s practice growing into a high six-figure business and eventually leading her to a partner role at an AM200 law firm, where she also served as a data privacy officer. Yet, even as she reached new heights, she could not ignore the inefficiencies around her. Much of the work felt outdated. Manual processes, fragmented systems, and tools did not match the complexity of modern legal challenges.
Katya’s ability to think beyond tradition brought her to Constructor Group, where she oversees legal operations across more than ten countries and multiple industries. From managing intricate legal frameworks for a venture capital fund to guiding governance for a nonprofit, Katya became known for handling complexity with precision. But as her career expanded, so did her frustration with the tools available to her.
“There were too many moments where I thought, ‘Why doesn’t something better exist?’” Katya explains. That recurring frustration ultimately became the foundation for Aracor AI, a platform designed to address the inefficiencies she had encountered throughout her career. Blending artificial intelligence with human expertise, Aracor enhances security, automates repetitive tasks, and streamlines workflows. It tackles problems that felt all too familiar to Katya, whether simplifying contract reviews or protecting sensitive data through automated redaction.
“When I was building Aracor, I kept thinking about the tools I wished I had,” she says. “The goal is to empower legal teams to focus on what really matters, which is strategy, decision-making, and creating value.”
This vision resonated when Katya introduced Aracor AI at a CodeX group meeting at Stanford Law School, a hub for legal technology innovation. The gathering brought together professionals eager to tackle similar challenges, making it the perfect venue to showcase the platform’s potential. “The feedback was incredible,” she recalls. “It showed me that I wasn’t alone in these frustrations and that there’s a real hunger for change.”
Aracor’s success lies in its ability to address real-world pain points. By automating tasks like due diligence and regulatory compliance, it saves legal teams time and allows them to focus on higher-value work. The platform’s impact is rooted in Katya’s own experiences as a lawyer, navigating outdated processes and using that insight to create something better.
Katya Fisher’s journey is a masterclass in turning obstacles into opportunities for innovation. From launching her own practice during an economic downturn to building a platform poised to reshape the legal industry, she has shown that progress is not about waiting for the right moment. It is about creating what is needed to move forward.
In the high-stakes world of venture capital, private equity, and cross-border M&A, the devil is often in the (translated) details. Business today is inherently global — term sheets originate in Singapore, diligence comes from Frankfurt, and negotiations unfold over WhatsApp in Dubai. Yet language remains one of the most underestimated obstacles to deal velocity and risk mitigation.
Aracor AI is changing that.
At the core of Aracor’s platform is multilingual document review powered by advanced AI translation. But Aracor’s goal isn’t to translate War and Peace into Spanish — it’s to help dealmakers read, understand, and act on high-stakes documents — NDAs, MSAs, shareholder agreements, LPAs, convertible notes — across languages and jurisdictions. In short: Aracor enables cross-lingual dealmaking without delay.
It preserves intent, nuance, and legal structure across more than 30 languages. English to Mandarin? Seamless. Arabic to French? Structured. Korean diligence in a London data room? Instantly legible.
Where other platforms falter with legalese and business context, Aracor thrives. Its models are trained on financial, legal, and regulatory corpora — analyzing and translating at enterprise scale.
Crucially, Aracor lowers the need to rely on foreign counsel just to interpret documents — saving firms time, legal overhead, and outside costs while enabling internal teams to triage faster and smarter.
And there’s more coming: Dropbox, Google Drive, SharePoint, Box, and more — direct integration with your document vaults is planned for Version 2.
In a world where deals don’t wait for interpreters, Aracor helps global capital move at the speed of thought — no translator required.
Everyone’s racing to bolt AI onto the enterprise stack. But few are asking the real question:
Can we trust what we’re building on?
At Aracor, we didn’t start with LLM hype or generic copilots. We started with threat models — because if you’re handling deal data, legal strategy, or sensitive financials, the cost of a breach isn’t just a PR event. It’s a deal collapse.
We built a security architecture we’d trust with our own transactions.
Picture a car designed for impact — engineered with reinforced steel framing, internal roll cages, and calculated crumple zones that channel force away from the core. That’s how we approached Aracor: not just sleek on the surface, but structurally secure at every layer.
1. Data stays locked down
- Encrypted at rest and transit, no exceptions;
- No shadow copies. No blind spots.
2. Access is earned, not assumed
- Role-based permissions. SSO. 2FA;
- Effectively practicing zero trust architecture in productive environments.
Aracor is LLM-agnostic by design. We give clients the freedom to choose the right foundation models for the job — without sacrificing security or sovereignty.
One example: we support DeepSeek-R1, a powerful open-source model that performs on par with commercial offerings. But here’s the difference: we deploy it entirely within private, secure infrastructure — with zero reliance on Chinese servers or third-party data endpoints.
Why does agnosticism matter?Because it’s not just about preference — it’s about resilience.
If a model vendor goes offline, introduces regressions, or becomes compromised, Aracorswitches—automatically. No service interruption. No scrambling.
Your data flows. Your deal keeps moving. Your AI doesn’t break.
Security isn’t just a shield. At Aracor, it’s what makes our platform usable for real Deal Intelligence — the kind involving:
Unlike most vendors, we don’t train on your data.
We don’t leave audit gaps.
We don’t hope nothing breaks — we assume it might, and plan for it.
LLM prompt injection. Embedded exploits.
We’ve already threat-mapped them. We’re building protections now — not after something hits the headlines.
Aracor is SOC 2 compliant, supports FIPS-compliant encryption standards, and is GDPR compliant.
Secure AI infrastructure
Trusted for M&A, legal ops, and venture finance

As global focus sharpens on AI governance — including the Council of Europe’s new Framework Convention on Artificial Intelligence (https://www.coe.int/en/web/artificial-intelligence/the-framework-convention-on-artificial-intelligence) — it’s clear AI is no longer just a tech issue. It’s a capital markets issue.
The treaty, like its cousins in Brussels and DC, is draped in the usual virtues — human rights, democracy, and rule of law. But for those in venture, private equity, and M&A, it signals a future where speed collides with sovereignty, and legal ambiguity becomes a new kind of friction.
Aracor wasn’t built to debate AI ethics — it was built to accelerate capital. Our tools give CEOs and in-house counsel leverage by mapping legal DNA, flagging regulatory risk, and helping deals move through complexity without getting stuck in it.
Example: a U.S. firm targets a European AI startup. One algorithm is flagged “high-risk” under EU law. The deal freezes. With Aracor, it’s flagged early, structure is adjusted, and the deal moves. That’s not compliance. That’s velocity.
The West may regulate. China may ignore. But advantage belongs to those who understand not just the law — but its lineage, incentives, and escape hatches.
And most importantly: what’s required to close deals and create value — for companies and their customers.
Legal professionals and corporate teams frequently encounter scanned contracts, handwritten notes, and poorly formatted documents that complicate their workflows. These imperfect documents often require time-consuming manual transcription, leading to errors and inefficiencies. Extracting accurate information from these files is a significant challenge, often resulting in delays, compliance risks, and increased operational costs.
Aracor’sAI-powered OCR technologyeliminates these obstacles by transforming unstructured, low-quality documents into clear, structured, and actionable data. Whether dealing with blurry scans, faded print, or complex formatting, this advanced solution ensures that every word and detail is captured with high accuracy. For legal professionals and businesses leveragingAI legal software, legal AI assistants, and document review automation, Aracor’s OCR is a game-changer in enhancing efficiency and accuracy.
OCR, or Optical Character Recognition, is a technology that converts different types of documents including scanned paper files, PDFs, and images into editable and searchable data. This capability is crucial for organizations that rely on fast and accurate access to critical information.
Traditional OCR tools often struggle with inconsistencies, distortions, and handwritten content, making them unreliable for AI for legal workflows. However, modern AI legal solutions, such as Aracor’s OCR, go beyond simple text recognition. They use machine learning and pattern recognition to intelligently process and structure extracted information, making it easily accessible for contract redlining with AI, automated contract drafting, and streamlining contract management with AI.
Aracor’s OCR technology leveragesartificial intelligence and machine learning to scan, recognize, and extract text from various document formats, including PDFs, images, and scanned copies. Unlike conventional OCR tools that struggle with distorted fonts, handwritten content, or complex formatting, Aracor’s solution adapts to these challenges with exceptional precision.
By identifying text patterns and distinguishing between printed and handwritten content, Aracor’s OCR refines and enhances extracted text, ensuring accuracy in processing legal and business documents. Once digitized, the data becomes searchable, editable, and ready for integration into automated legal workflows, AI legal assistants, and contract review automation. This technology significantly reduces the need for manual data entry, helping legal professionals efficiently manage due diligence, compliance audits, and contract negotiations.
For legal professionals, accuracy is non-negotiable. A single misinterpretation or missing clause in a contract can lead to serious financial or compliance risks. Aracor’s OCR technology ensures precise text extraction, enabling legal AI assistants to analyze documents with greater confidence.
Legal teams benefit from AI contract review and automated contract drafting, allowing them to efficiently handle large volumes of documents. Compliance officers can use structured data to meet regulatory requirements, while business executives gain faster access to contract insights, eliminating the need for manual review. By integrating AI for legal into document workflows, organizations can enhance productivity and minimize errors, making contract management and due diligence more efficient.
Aracor’s OCR technology is a critical component of AI legal software that enables professionals to streamline their document processing workflows. Instead of manually searching for contract terms, legal teams can quickly locate relevant clauses, compare contract language across multiple documents, and extract obligations using legal AI assistants.
The integration of document review automation and AI contract review eliminates the inefficiencies associated with manual document handling. By automating these processes, legal teams experience fewer errors, faster processing times, and improved overall efficiency. With contract redlining with AI, professionals can highlight discrepancies and inconsistencies with precision, ensuring airtight contract management.
As organizations continue digitizing their operations, the need for reliable document accuracy becomes more critical. Aracor’s AI-powered OCR technology is at the forefront of this transformation, ensuring that imperfect documents no longer slow down legal and business processes. From due diligence to compliance audits, contract negotiations, and automated legal workflows, AI-powered OCR allows organizations to extract meaningful insights from any document type.
By leveraging AI legal solutions, businesses can optimize their contract management processes, reducing risks and improving decision-making. The ability to process and analyze legal and corporate documents with high accuracy gives professionals a competitive advantage in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

In high-stakes dealmaking, AI must be both precise and adaptable. Aracor delivers that with two distinct operating modes:
A controlled environment with strict guardrails. It only thinks from the documents and data you provide — contracts, diligence reports, financials. No guessing, no outside sources. Just structured, repeatable analysis.
A flexible sandbox for open-ended inquiry. It draws on broader sources — regulations, market chatter, news — and lets you test assumptions, check external context, or dig into non-obvious risks.
You can shift between these modes instantly, without losing your place in the workflow.
You’re assessing a target company in a cross-border M&A deal:
- In Pro Mode, Aracor analyzes your internal corpus: the share purchase agreement, ESG disclosures, board minutes, and jurisdiction-specific compliance docs. It operates strictly within that dataset, ensuring reliable, auditable output.
- Then your risk team flags vague ESG language tied to Brazilian operations. You’re unsure if similar language has triggered enforcement elsewhere.
You switch to Discovery Mode:
General-purpose LLMs are often too open-ended for M&A work. They pull from public sources, risking hallucinations or unverifiable claims. You get text, not trusted insight.
Aracor is purpose-built:
Aracor delivers real-time insights, and risk detection
built for deal teams across family office, in-house, private equity, and venture capital.
