PARIS, Sept. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Jus Mundi, the global legal AI company, today announced that it will launch Jus AI, its research and productivity assistant for global legal professionals, at IBA Mexico on September 16. In addition, the company has secured €20M (US $22M) in Series B funding, one of the largest rounds of funding for a European legal tech company.

"Designed for legal research and increased productivity across jurisdictions, Jus AI can analyze documents uploaded by users and perform professional search sourced from Jus Connect's thousands of data-backed profiles," he added.

Jus AI has been piloted for several months, with more than 20 clients participating in the exclusive Jus AI Acceleration Program; they include DLA Piper, Reed Smith, Clyde & Co, Greenberg Traurig, Yulchon and Bredin Prat and have reported a doubling of productivity across legal research, analysis, drafting and translation tasks.

"Jus AI has significantly enhanced our efficiency, providing invaluable access to summaries of extensive decisions. It's particularly useful when researching specific topics. By swiftly compiling relevant decisions, Jus AI has optimized our research, enabling us to focus more on strategic deliberation," said Rebeca Mosquera, Senior Associate, International Arbitration, Reed Smith; and President, ArbitralWomen.

The €20M (US $22M) funding round was closed on August 2, 2024, and de Maistre said that funders' participation demonstrates their endorsement of Jus AI.
