Copenhagen’s Pandektes raises €13.5 million to build the data infrastructure for AI-powered legal research

Copenhagen-based legal tech startup Pandektes has successfully raised €13.5 million in funding. The company is building the underlying data infrastructure specifically designed to support AI-powered legal research.

This investment is part of a broader wave of funding and development across the European legal technology sector. Other notable funding rounds in the same ecosystem include Sweden-based Lightbringer securing €8.6 million for an AI patent platform aimed at competing with traditional patent firms, and the UK-based female-founded startup Aavalynx raising €1.75 million to focus on dispute resolution.

These developments highlight a growing trend of artificial intelligence transforming legal operations and research across Europe. Industry observers note that while legal AI will generate a higher volume of work, it is expected to shift that workload away from traditional lawyers.

The funding rounds reflect strong investor interest in European startups that apply artificial intelligence to specialized industries such as legal services, patent management, and dispute resolution.
