With initial success in Europe, DeepJudge is expanding globally, strengthening its team with industry experts and advisors like Tony Ensinger, previously Head of Sales at Casetext (acquired by Thomson Reuters), Steve Obenski, former senior leader at Kira Systems (acquired by Litera), and Jan Puzicha, one of the founders of Recommind (acquired by OpenText), to spearhead growth in the US market. The funding will further support the ICT startup's mission to innovate legal search capabilities and enhance client services.
