Copenhagen-based legaltech startup Pandektes recently annouced they secured €13.5 million in Series A funding to expand its AI-powered legal research platform and develop a new data infrastructure for legal technology. The round was led by German venture capital firm Alstin Capital, with participation from PROfounders, Scale Capital and existing investors.
Founded in 2022 by Casper Laursen and Søren Brokær, Pandektes aims to challenge the traditional legal research market, where established providers have long dominated access to legislation, court decisions and other legal information.
Rethinking How Legal Information Is Accessed
While much legal information is publicly available, collecting, organising and keeping it updated across different jurisdictions remains a complex and resource-intensive process. Pandektes uses AI to collect, structure and connect legal sources, allowing legal professionals to research legislation and case law through a single platform. The system is designed to make legal research faster while keeping information traceable to its original sources.
“Building a serious challenger was always deemed impossible. Today, we can collect and make sense of legal information at a scale that was not feasible before. That fundamentally changes what legal research can be.”

Growing Across Europe
Pandektes currently serves more than 500 law firms, businesses and public institutions, with operations in Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. The company reports sixfold revenue growth over the past year, with approximately two-thirds of organisations that trial its platform becoming paying customers.
The new funding will support further expansion across Europe and North America, alongside team growth and continued development of its technology.
Pandektes’ ambitions extend beyond replacing traditional legal research platforms. The company is developing an infrastructure layer that will allow other legaltech developers to access structured, continuously updated legal information through an API. Rather than requiring every new AI-powered legal application to build its own legal database, Pandektes wants to provide a shared foundation of reliable legal data.
