AI is steadily entering the legal sector, hopefully not to replace lawyers, but to help them deal with work that is often repetitive, research-heavy, and extremely document-driven. From law firms to in-house legal teams and compliance departments, AI is starting to reshape how legal information is found, reviewed, drafted, and managed.
This shift is happening at a time when legal professionals are under pressure to move faster while maintaining accuracy, traceability, and control. That is why many of the most interesting LegalTech startups are not simply offering ‘AI chatbots’ but tools built around verified sources, audit trails, internal knowledge, legal playbooks, and sector-specific workflows.
Together, they show a new wave of LegalTech innovation designed to make legal work faster and less dependent on endless open tabs and cold coffee.
Here’s our compilation of 10 European startups founded between now and 2023 that are making waves in the LawTech circles.

The platform can also generate case-ready drafts, supporting lawyers with research, preparation, and document creation. By applying AI to legal workflows, it aims to reduce time spent on manual research and repetitive drafting tasks.
The platform can be used by lawyers who need source-backed answers rather than generic AI-generated responses. Based in Newcastle upon Tyne, the startup has secured €5.8 million in funding.
Bayshore is a German LegalTech startup that develops an AI platform for highly demanding regulatory and legal processes. Founded in 2025, the startup aims to reduce the workload of teams handling complex compliance tasks.

Headquartered in Berlin ComplyDo, is an agentic compliance startup offering software for data integration, analytics, and consulting solutions for enterprise compliance.

Berlin-based LawX focuses on managing repetitive processes to make internal workflows easier to handle. LawX targets the operational side of law firms, where too many tasks still rely on manual coordination or scattered tools.

Legora is one of the main players in the LegalTech field in Europe. The Swedish startup, founded in 2023, develops an AI software platform that supports legal professionals with document review, drafting, research, and information analysis across large volumes of legal files.

Milan-based Lexroom.ai is developing a generative AI assistant for legal research, analysis, and document drafting. Its strength is helping lawyers query legislation, case law, and regulatory sources in natural language, instead of wrestling with endless tabs and legal databases.
