LawX Raises 7.5 Million Euros and Develops a European Operating System for Legal Work

LawX, an AI-powered OS for notaries and law firms, led by Dr. Norman Koschmieder, Dr. Sara Brinkmann, and Torben Rabe, has closed a seed round led by Motive Partners, raising over €7 million in capital, alongside WENVEST Capital, xdeck, and SIVentures, as well as several prominent angels from the tech and legal sectors.

The legal market is undergoing structural change, with rising demand for legal services and a growing shortage of administrative staff. Around half of law firm work is administrative, often still reliant on outdated software systems from the 1990s.

Significant time is lost daily to manual processes such as file creation, scheduling, document management, and billing, while demand for legal advice continues to increase pressure on existing systems.

This gap is widening due to the lack of a comprehensive AI-driven infrastructure, as most current solutions focus on research and drafting rather than back-office operations.

AI is creating a new market for operating systems that streamline law firm operations and reduce administrative workload.

Within this space, Berlin-based LawX offers an AI-powered platform that unifies core processes like file management, workflows, contacts, calendars, document handling, and billing, while automating recurring administrative tasks.

"The legal market is facing structural strain as core processes remain manually managed amid a shortage of personnel,” says Dr. Norman Koschmieder, founder and CEO of LawX. “The aim is to build technological infrastructure that automates these processes for the first time and ensures the long-term viability of law firms.”

LawX was founded by a team combining legal experience from leading firms such as Hengeler Mueller and McDermott Will & Schulte with scaling expertise from the Berlin tech ecosystem. The company has raised over €7 million to date. Its seed round is led by Motive Partners, alongside WENVEST Capital, xdeck, and SIVentures, as well as several prominent angels from the tech and legal sectors.

The unusually broad investor base for this stage highlights strong confidence in the team and its potential to redefine legal software standards.

LawX already collaborates with leading law firms and notaries and has generated over €1 million in contractually secured recurring revenue since its launch in November 2025.

“As an international investor focused on financial technology, strong potential is seen in vertical AI solutions that restructure complex regulated markets,” says Michael Hock, Partner, Venture at Motive Partners. “LawX stands out due to the team’s innovation strength and clear product vision, and there is confidence in supporting its path toward building a leading product in the European market.”

“The German legal market is undergoing a fundamental transformation that demands a deep understanding of local structures and requirements,” says Christophe Aumaître of WENVEST Capital. “As a long-term investor with strong ties to the German market, LawX is seen as having the potential to become a key provider and to build lasting trust among law firms and notaries.”
