Avvoka Limited Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 August 2025
1
Statutory information
Avvoka Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales, registration number 09729807. The registered office is 124 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX, England.
2
Compliance with accounting standards
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of FRS 102 Section 1A Small Entities. There were no material departures from that standard.
3
Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below and have remained unchanged from the previous year, and also have been consistently applied within the same accounts.
Basis of preparation
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain fixed assets.
Presentation currency
The accounts are presented in £ sterling.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible assets are included at cost less depreciation and impairment. Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets over their estimated useful lives:
Computer equipment
Straight line at 25%
Research and development
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred. Where appropriate, development expenditure is capitalised and amortised over its useful economic life.
Going concern
The accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the company is able to carry on business as a going concern for the foreseeable future.
Financial instruments
Basic financial instruments are recognised at amortised cost, except for investments in non-convertible preference and non-puttable ordinary shares which are measured at fair value, with changes recognised in profit or loss. Derivative financial instruments are initially recorded at cost and thereafter at fair value with changes recognised in profit or loss.
Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when goods have been delivered to customers such that risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to them. Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs.
Foreign exchange
Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating profit.

Post balance sheet events
Subsequent to the year end, Avvoka completed an equity fundraise, receiving its first institutional capital of £8m into the company from Valhalla Ventures. The investment follows a record year of expansion for the company and comes at a pivotal moment for the legal industry. As generative AI moves from experimentation to operational deployment, law firms are confronting a new constraint: that drafting at scale requires structured systems, governance and oversight. Avvoka has spent the past decade building the drafting infrastructure required to safely embed AI into high-volume, high-variation legal work. Avvoka works with over 20 of the AMLAW 100 and the new funding will help deepen the capabilities of the platform and accelerate further US expansion.
