Orbital, an AI platform for real estate legal work, has signed a multiyear content license agreement with the American Land Title Association (ALTA). This marks the first time ALTA has licensed its content for use in an AI platform.
Orbital users now access ALTA Policy Forms, ALTA endorsements, and the 2026 ALTA/National Society of Professional Surveyors Land Title Survey Standards. The platform covers title coverage and survey issues tied to more than 250,000 real estate transactions annually.
ALTA Policy Forms provide the standard framework for the nearly $27 trillion U.S. commercial real estate market. Justin Lischak Earley, principal for legal content and evangelism at Orbital, said the forms "underlie nearly every commercial real estate transaction that goes on in the country."
The agreement allows lawyers to analyze title commitments, policies, endorsements and surveys against applicable ALTA Policy Forms and standards within a single workspace. Orbital, based in New York with offices in London and Los Angeles, is an ALTA associate member.
Chris Morton, CEO at ALTA, stated: "Our forms and survey standards are the common language of title in the United States, and they do their job best when the people relying on them are working from current, authoritative text." Morton added that "AI can help title and real estate professionals work more efficiently, but technology cannot replace the experience, expertise and human judgment essential to protecting property rights."
Orbital plans additional content partnerships with professional bodies and resources that define real estate law and practice.
