JUPUS announced it has completed a €13 million Series A funding round to expand its legal AI platform for small and medium-sized law firms.
The round was led by Semapa Next, with NRW.BANK joining as a co-investor. Existing investors Acton Capital and HTGF | High-Tech Gründerfonds also participated again.
JUPUS was founded around the belief that small and medium-sized law firms are the backbone of the legal system but are facing growing capacity constraints. The company pointed to a major workforce imbalance in the legal industry: over the past 30 years, the number of lawyers has tripled, while the number of newly trained paralegals has fallen by more than 70%.
The company is addressing this issue with legal AI designed to perform work directly, helping lawyers and their teams regain time and focus for client service and legal work.
JUPUS said more than 2,000 lawyers currently use its platform. Every day, more than 2,000 new cases are processed through the company’s AI.
The company said each case processed through JUPUS represents a law firm that gains more time for legal work and a client who receives answers faster.
With the new funding, JUPUS plans to bring its platform to more law firms and continue expanding its AI capabilities based on the needs its customers show in daily practice.
