About legal force services

We will discuss each of the above three.

LegalForce – AI Contract Screening Platform

A platform that improves the quality and efficiency of contract screening.

We have improved the quality and efficiency of contract review work with automatic contract review functions using AI and functions that support the effective use of in-house contract data.

According to survey results, many legal staff at major companies said they would like to use Legal Tech for drafting and checking contracts, and less than a year after the launch of the platform, more than 300 offices have introduced it. , has more than 1000 users.

LegalForce Cabinet – AI Contract Management System

The AI ​​contract management system “LegalForce Cabinet” is a system that uses natural language processing and machine learning to control contract risk after the contract is concluded.

By uploading the contract, the information is automatically extracted and the contract is centrally managed in the database. It is recommended for those who want to reduce the time to fill out the ledger, or for those who feel that the time to search for contracts is wasted.

Managed contracts are converted into data, so full-text search is possible, and viewing permissions can be set for each user, making it convenient for sharing.

KEIYAKU-WATCH-Contract Information Media

Contract Watch is a media that disseminates information related to contracts.

Information is sent mainly to people in the general affairs and legal departments who handle contracts. With the passage of time, the review and creation and storage methods of contracts change, so it is necessary to keep updating the information.

As a feature of the media, a calendar that shows when the law was revised is displayed on the top page. In addition, we categorize the information we want to read, making it easy to find, and we try to put readers first, such as using images to explain difficult specialized knowledge.

Features of LegalForce

Features include:

• Business development in the field of legal tech
• Many outstanding members
• Significant funding of over 13 billion

I will explain the above three.

Business development in the field of legal tech

Legalforce provides services in the field of legal tech that support the work of legal departments and lawyers by proposing points of concern and points that need to be corrected in contracts.

This field cannot be provided without legal knowledge and machine learning technology, so the barriers to entry are very high.In addition, there is little competition for contract screening services overseas, so we are considering expanding overseas. increase.

When expanding overseas, we plan to develop services after thoroughly researching to meet local needs, rather than creating English versions of existing services.

Many outstanding members

At the time of our founding, we joined two lawyers, DeNA, and Recruit to create the current development system. Later, COO from McKinsey also joined and built the framework of the service.

As a venture company, we are working to expand and improve our services with a small team of elites, and we are currently the top company in contract screening services that has been introduced by 2,000 companies in Japan.

After that, there are many members who join mid-career from famous companies, and many who decide that it is a good environment for their own growth and join the company.

Significant funding of over 13 billion

Legal Force has successfully raised more than 13 billion yen in total. The president said, “The potential of the business that handles the risks of contracts concluded by companies was highly evaluated.”

As the economic situation deteriorated and the market environment changed, we raised 13.7 billion yen in the Series D round. As a company, we will invest in strengthening recruitment, development, and sales in order to achieve our mission of “making all contract risks controllable.”

Also, since we are also considering overseas expansion, we plan to advance into the United States with the funds raised this time.

“Corporate Law and Technology Symposium” will be held on August 2, 2022. The target audience is those who are involved in corporate legal affairs, those who are interested in the relationship between legal affairs and technology, and those who want to use legal tech.
