The law is no longer the same for everyone. Unless you use Lexroom
2.00 pm. The hearing is at 3.00 pm. There’s a document to finish, a regulation to double-check, a judgement to find. Time is running out, and the browser tabs are piling up. Whilst one lawyer is racing against the clock, another has already verified the sources and finalised the strategy. This is ‘simply’ because they worked differently. This paradox is the inspiration behind the new campaign by Lexroom, the Milan-based scale-up developing an artificial intelligence operating system for legal work in Europe. The slogan is provocative: ‘The law is no longer the same for everyone’.
‘We’ve chosen a phrase that sparks debate because it highlights an inequality that every lawyer knows all too well. Two professionals, same qualifications, same court hearing: one arrives after spending the morning chasing down judgements, the other after devoting it to strategy. Lexroom was created to ensure every lawyer starts off on the right foot”, explains Gianfranco Bellino, Head of Marketing at Lexroom.
The law, of course, remains the same for everyone. Time, however, does not. Or rather: not everyone manages to use it in the same way. And this is precisely where artificial intelligence comes into play: not to replace the lawyer’s thinking, but to free them from everything that risks taking up their time.
One lawyer, a thousand versions of themselves at their disposal
To showcase its technology, Lexroom opts for a touch of humour and brings to life the dream of every professional swamped by work: to possess the gift of ubiquity. The protagonist is a lawyer surrounded by copies of himself, each with a specific task: drafting a document, retrieving the latest legislation, and safeguarding documents. Whilst the clones are at work, he can focus on the case, weigh up the options and anticipate the opposing counsel’s moves. In court, he faces an opponent buried under a mountain of paperwork. At his side is the team of digital assistants who supported his preparation. Lexroom appears on the screen. The message is clear: the quality of work can be multiplied without multiplying the hours in the day. Each ‘clone’ represents a function of the platform: legislative and case-law research, document analysis, summarisation, drafting of legal documents and opinions, data protection and much more. ‘The clones make visible something every lawyer knows: in a single day, you’d need a researcher, a drafter and someone to check every source. With Lexroom, these functions work in parallel and the lawyer remains the sole decision-maker,” explains Bellino.
Technology supports the professional, but does not replace their judgement, experience or responsibility for what they sign.
Accuracy before speed
In legal work, an error can jeopardise the reputation of the person signing a document, as well as having consequences for the client. Internationally, there are records of over 1,300 legal documents containing errors generated by AI, which have led several law firms to apologise publicly before the courts. To address this issue, Lexroom adopts a data-first approach, based on a proprietary infrastructure comprising over 13 million verified legal sources that are continuously updated. Every response links back to the original sources, allowing lawyers to verify them. Uploaded documents are encrypted and excluded from model training.
An AI born within European law
Lexroom was founded in Milan in 2023 within Vento, the Exor Group’s venture builder, on the initiative of Paolo Fois, Martina Domenicali and Andrea Lonza. The platform is designed for civil law systems, one legal system and one language at a time, with legal engineers and local experts. Today, it serves over 20,000 clients, including law firms and corporate legal departments, employs more than 300 people and has exceeded €30 million in annual recurring revenue within two years. In May, it closed a $50 million Series B funding round, led by Left Lane Capital, bringing the total capital raised to over 73 million. September saw its first acquisitions: Query Juriste in France and Praven Intelekt in Bulgaria, which join the existing markets of Italia, Spain and Germany, as well as Brocardi, an Italian legal information portal that will retain its editorial team and free access.
More time for critical thinking
Research, verifying sources and drafting the first draft take up a significant part of a solicitor’s day. Lexroom supports preparatory work, freeing up time for strategy, consultation with clients and the interpretation of legislation. The platform searches for reliable sources, analyses and summarises documents, drafts legal documents and opinions, and integrates case file management with PCT filing and monitoring within a single environment.
The law is no longer the same for everyone. Not for those who work with Lexroom.
