- Berlin-based LawX has raised €7.5 million in seed funding, led by Motive Partners
- The company has generated over €1 million in contracted recurring revenue since launching in November 2025
- The funding will support product development and enable expansion from the notary market to the wider German law firm segment by mid-2026
The Berlin-based legaltech company LawX secured €7.5 million in seed funding led by Motive Partners.
WENVEST Capital, xdeck, and SIVentures also participated, along with angel investors, such as Flink co-founder Christoph Cordes and former Deutsche Bank board member Ralph Müller.
LawX was co-founded in 2023 by Dr Norman Koschmieder, Torben Rabe, and Dr Sara Brinkmann to replace fragmented legacy tools for case management, document handling, billing, and communication with a unified AI platform.
Its workflow engine automates administrative tasks like file creation, contact and calendar management, document processing, and invoice generation. It also integrates directly with Outlook, Word, and Germany’s central legal registers.
Many of Germany’s 26,000 law firms and notaries still use 1990s-era practice management systems that require manual data entry, create paper-heavy workflows, and lack integration with modern communication tools, LawX claims.
“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 Koschmieder.
The company initially targeted the notary segment, where labour shortages and outdated infrastructure are most pronounced. About 75% of practitioners also hold law firm licenses, the startup claims. Since its November 2025 launch, LawX has surpassed €1 million in contracted recurring revenue.
Its main German competitors, RA-MICRO and Actaport, are legacy practice management providers that have added AI features. LawX differentiates itself by offering a platform designed from the ground up for AI-native workflows, rather than adapting existing systems.
“LawX convinced us through the innovative strength of the team and the clarity of its product vision. At the same time, we believe our experience can help the company establish the leading product in the European market,” says Michael Hock, partner, venture at Motive Partners.
“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,” adds Christophe Aumaître of WENVEST Capital.
The capital will accelerate product development and support expansion beyond the initial notary market. The company plans to open its platform to law firms from mid-2026 and reports that a waiting list has already formed.
