LawX, a Berlin-based LegalTech startup, has raised €7.5 million in a Seed funding round to develop the first holistic AI-powered operating system for law firms and notaries.
The round was led by Motive Partners, with additional investors such as WENVEST Capital, xdeck, and SIVentures. In addition to institutional investors, several prominent angel investors from the tech and legal sectors also participated, including Flink founder Christoph Cordes and former Deutsche Bank board member Ralph Müller.
“The legal market is drifting into a structural crisis because core processes are still organised manually while qualified personnel are increasingly unavailable. We are building the technological infrastructure to automate these processes end-to-end for the first time and secure the long-term operational capability of law firms,” says Dr Norman Koschmieder, the founder and CEO of LawX.
Founded in late 2024 by Dr Norman Koschmieder, Dr Sara Brinkmann, and Torben Rabe, LawX is developing an AI-powered operating system for legal work. The platform integrates core processes such as case management, document processing and creation, communication and billing, enabling law firms and notaries to organise their work more efficiently.
According to the company, demand for legal services continues to rise, while the availability of qualified administrative staff is steadily declining. It also notes that about 50% of activities in law firms are administrative, and many still depend on outdated software systems from the 1990s.
It further notes that law firms and notaries lose time daily on manual tasks like file creation, contact management, document handling, and billing. Meanwhile, demand for legal services grows, increasing pressure on existing operations.
LawX highlights that fully integrated AI-driven systems for legal processes are still lacking. Currently, most AI tools mainly assist lawyers with research and drafting, while the operational organisation of legal work remains mostly manual.
The company asserts that it is addressing this structural crisis in the legal market, where increasing demand clashes with labour shortages and outdated software systems. It positions itself as the first provider of an AI-powered operating system for operational legal workflows. As a holistic platform, LawX integrates core processes such as case management, workflows, contact and calendar management, document processing and billing into one system.
Designed for sensitive settings such as notaries’ offices and law firms, the company asserts that it adheres to the strictest standards of data protection, data security, and professional regulations.
It also states that its processes and systems comply with ISO 27001, with certification in progress. The client’s account is hosted in ISO 27001-certified data centres in Germany, with C5 certification. It is compliant with GDPR and professional regulations.
“The German legal market is undergoing a fundamental transformation that requires a deep understanding of local structures and market requirements. As a long-term investor with strong ties to the German market, we see in LawX the potential to establish itself as a central player in this environment and build lasting trust among law firms and notaries,” said Christophe Aumaître of WENVEST Capital.
The company highlighted that it deliberately entered the German notary market first, as it faces issues such as labour shortages, outdated software landscapes and operational inefficiencies that are particularly severe, while the automation potential is especially high.
LawX reports that it already works with prominent law firms and notaries and has built more than €1 million in contracted recurring revenue since launching in November 2025.
Going forward, LawX plans to expand its product offering into the broader law firm market from this summer. Around 75% of German notaries are also licensed attorneys, providing a direct pathway into the wider legal market. Numerous law firms have already joined the waiting list, says the company.
The startup plans to use this new capital for product development, further strengthening the existing platform as well as expanding sales and customer support operations. The long-term goal of LawX is to establish itself as the leading operating system for legal work in Europe.
