About Capel

We're building the future of conveyancing in Ireland—one where solicitors spend less time on paperwork and more time on what they do best: advising clients.

Our Story

Capel was founded in 2024 by a team who witnessed firsthand how much time Irish solicitors spend on repetitive conveyancing tasks. Title checks, compliance documentation, client updates—essential work, but work that technology should be handling.

Named after Capel Street in Dublin—home to Ireland's legal community for centuries—we're building software that respects the traditions of Irish property law while embracing the possibilities of modern AI.

Our mission is simple: give solicitors back their time. We believe that when the administrative burden is lifted, legal professionals can focus on the nuanced, human work that truly matters—guiding clients through one of the biggest transactions of their lives.

Our Values

Trust is Earned

Law firms trust us with their most sensitive data. We take that responsibility seriously, building security and privacy into every decision we make.

Built for Ireland

Irish property law has unique requirements. We don't adapt foreign software—we build specifically for Irish solicitors, Irish regulations, and Irish practices.

Simplicity Wins

Legal work is complex enough. Our software should make things simpler, not add another layer of complexity. If it's not intuitive, we haven't finished building it.

Partner, Not Vendor

We succeed when our customers succeed. That means responsive support, listening to feedback, and building features that genuinely help practices grow.
