In the last six months alone, membership has grown by 40%. The association now has over 120 member companies and a reach of 5,000 followers on LinkedIn. Members include law firms, legal departments, software companies, legal insurance companies and legal tech startups. “We are proud of the developments of the association. It shows that our work is appreciated by many people in the legal tech industry and beyond,” says Alisha Andert, chairwoman of the Legal Tech Association’s board. Andert was already involved in the founding of the association and remembers the beginnings fondly: “Before the founding, there was a lack of a cross-professional platform to drive the topic of legal tech strategically, content-wise and politically – we have now changed that.”

The association has set itself the goal of driving forward the development and application of legal tech solutions in Germany and promoting exchange between all players on the market. In doing so, it has also managed to make a name for itself at the political level. “We advocate for a legal framework that facilitates the use and implementation of legal tech solutions for all players in the legal market and creates more leeway in remuneration and financing models for all players in the legal market,” says Dr. Philipp Plog, chairman and co-founder of the association. The association regularly issues political statements, maintains a close exchange with members of parliament and provides experts at hearings in the legal committee.

In addition, the association sees itself as a platform for networking and knowledge sharing. To this end, it offers its members various roundtables, expert groups and event formats. Since 2022, the association has hosted an annual industry meeting in Berlin, the “Legal Tech Day”. With studies and a digital event series on current topics, the association ensures the visibility of strategically important topics in the industry.
