Doctrine expands into Germany with strategic stake in Dejure.org, strengthening its position as Europe’s legal AI leader
Paris, June 4, 2025 – Doctrine, Europe’s leading legal AI platform, is entering the German market through a strategic investment in dejure.org, one of the country’s most trusted sources for legal information. This investment, made with a view to a full acquisition, marks a key step in Doctrine’s international expansion as it continues to support legal professionals across Europe.
Founded 25 years ago, dejure.org has established itself as a major player in German legal information and a trusted partner, thanks to one of the most comprehensive legal databases in the country. Each month, dejure.org receives over 10 million page views from users seeking to access laws, court decisions, and regulatory texts. Tens of thousands of legal professionals rely on it to find the information they need to advise and defend their clients with precision.
Doctrine and dejure.org share the same mission: making the law more accessible and transparent. In just nine years, Doctrine has become the leading legal AI player in the French legal market by aggregating all available legal information and powering its legal AI to offer professionals the most effective tools to do their work. By combining the depth and reliability of dejure.org’s data with Doctrine’s powerful legal AI, legal professionals in Germany will be able to save time on research, analysis, and drafting — while strengthening the legal security of their positions.
Following its recent launch in Italy, Doctrine’s move into Germany reflects the company’s broader ambition: to provide legal professionals across Europe with the best legal AI to help them boost productivity and strengthen their legal reasoning. In France and Italy, more than 16,000 legal professionals already trust Doctrine. With the release of new generative AI-powered products, Doctrine saw record profitable growth in 2024 — a trend that has only accelerated in early 2025.
Staying true to its belief that there is no one-size-fits-all solution in the legal field, Doctrine is once again demonstrating that legal technology must be adapted to each country’s legal ecosystem. Language, legal systems, document structure, professional practices — each country has its own local specificities. Doctrine’s legal AI is designed to adjust to the unique legal frameworks and working methods of each market, while maintaining the highest level of security for every user, wherever they are.
“After France and Italy, we are continuing our European expansion and are excited to announce our entry into Germany through dejure.org, a historic player with a unique position in the German legaltech market,” says Guillaume Carrère, CEO of Doctrine. “Combining Doctrine’s legal AI with dejure.org’s exceptional legal database will deliver unprecedented performance for legal professionals in Germany. This move fully reflects our European vision of the law: more accessible, more transparent, and more efficient.”
‘After all the AI buzz, lawyers now expect practical solutions that fit perfectly into their workflow,’ says Oliver García, CEO of dejure.org. ‘With years of AI experience and mature products in France, Doctrine is well positioned to quickly establish itself as a leading provider in the German market, as well. We're excited to support Doctrine on this path through a partnership in which we will contribute not only our databases, but also our knowledge in legal publishing and legal tech in Germany.’
Doctrine and dejure.org are already working on gradually integrating their platforms to build the legal AI leader in Germany.
Doctrine, Europe’s leading legal AI platform, leverages artificial intelligence to support legal professionals at every stage of their work—analysis, research, and drafting. Over 16,000 lawyers and legal experts in France, Italy, and Germany use Doctrine to boost productivity and strengthen their legal positions. As a key player in the legaltech industry, Doctrine employs 180 people and is expanding internationally to further promote the modernization and transparency of the law— the cornerstone of democracy.
