Berlin’s LawX raises €7.5m to build the backoffice layer of legal AI

Berlin-based startup LawX secures €7.5M seed funding to automate administrative tasks in law firms and notaries.

Summary

Berlin's LawX, founded by Dr Norman Koschmieder, has raised a €7.5M seed round led by Motive Partners, with participation from WENVEST Capital, xdeck, and SIVentures. The startup targets the administrative half of a law firm's day—case management, billing, and document handling—rather than the research and drafting tasks that most AI vendors focus on. Koschmieder argues that the legal market is facing a structural crisis due to manual central processes and a lack of human resources. LawX positions itself as an AI 'operating system' for legal operations, distinct from research tools. The platform, launched in November 2025, has generated over €1m in contracted recurring revenue. The funding signals a growing interest in vertical AI for regulated industries, as the European seed market sees increased activity in sectors like legal tech.
