Lawyers and legal teams are often overworked and suffer from repetitive and inefficient processes. Having to manually process large document volumes to find, extract, and redact information wastes critical resources. DeepJudge automates these tasks with a multilingual document-understanding platform powered by artificial intelligence.
DeepJudge develops a context-aware legal document processing AI: The startup’s platform recognizes and understands concepts without explicitly mentioning them. At the core of DeepJudge’s technology is artificial intelligence that understands multiple languages and has been trained on millions of documents, thus providing an unmatched ability to understand the semantic content of legal documents. It allows to automatically highlight and anonymize sensitive information, enhance documents by augmenting them with external data, and search for related relevant documents across in-house databases in an unprecedented manner. Users who worked with DeepJudge’s software completed tasks faster and more accurately than users who accessed existing automation tools. The context-awareness puts the solution a generation ahead of even the most prominent existing legal platforms in Europe.
DeepJudge’s software targets law firms, courts, and legal departments, and the startup’s entry market, the DACH region, is estimated to be approximately EUR 1 billion. DeepJudge is currently partnering up with Swiss-based companies interested in exploring the power of AI for faster document processing. The team of 12 people is actively hiring to stem its DACH expansion goals. The funding from Venture Kick will be used toward business development and onboarding of German customers and partners.
“We are very happy to have taken part in the Venture Kick process, not only due to the financial support, but even more so because of its entire ecosystem uniting other founders, jury members, and experts. During the pitch sessions and the Kickers Camp, we got very valuable and hands-on feedback that helped us strengthen our USP,” said Dr. Paulina Grnarova, CEO and co-founder of DeepJudge.
