Jonathan Kanter has launched FluxCap, a legal technology company, to assist plaintiffs in constructing stronger cases against large corporations. The venture operates alongside Doha Mekki, Kanter’s former colleague at the Justice Department’s Antitrust Division, and employs a team of ex-DOJ staff and engineers from Palantir. This new firm sells an artificial intelligence tool designed for legal research and analysis, specifically targeting the well-funded companies Kanter previously pursued during his tenure leading the Antitrust Division.
The project represents a shift from public enforcement to private sector litigation support. By applying AI to legal research, the startup aims to reduce the resource gap between individual plaintiffs and massive corporate defendants. This approach allows lawyers to analyse vast amounts of data more efficiently without altering the underlying behaviour of customer accounts or API systems.
* The team consists of former DOJ staffers and Palantir engineers.
* The tool focuses on legal research and case analysis.
* It targets well-heeled companies previously challenged by the Antitrust Division.
