Freshfields advises HV Capital on investment in clinical AI provider Nabla

Global law firm Freshfields has advised HV Capital on its investment in Nabla as part of the company’s $70m Series C funding round. The financing raises the total capital raised by Nabla to $120m and will support Nabla’s continued development of its AI-powered clinical assistant, which is already used by more than 85,000 clinicians across over 130 healthcare organisations.

With the fresh capital, Paris-based Nabla plans to expand its platform into additional clinical roles and care settings, further strengthen its agentic AI capabilities, and accelerate growth across its product, engineering and commercial teams.
