Italy's Lexroom Secures $19M Series A to Scale AI Legal Workflows Across Europe

Lexroom secures $19M Series A to redefine legal workflows with AI

Lexroom, an Italian legaltech startup founded in 2023 by Paolo Fois, Martina Domenicali, and Andrea Lonza, has raised a $19 million Series A. The company builds generative AI tools for legal research, drafting, and advisory work, grounded in high-quality sources mapped to specific jurisdictions.

In the last six months, Lexroom has tripled its client base and doubled its team. The company is expanding in Germany and preparing a launch in Spain.

What Lexroom builds

Lexroom focuses on the daily workflows that drain time: research, first drafts, and knowledge retrieval. Its stack prioritizes authoritative legal sources and jurisdictional accuracy, a critical requirement for firms and in-house teams that can't risk hallucinated citations or out-of-date law.

The promise is simple: reduce repetitive work while maintaining legal-grade precision and auditability.

Who backed the round

The round was led by Silicon Valley firm Base10 Partners. Additional participants include Spanish VC Acurio Ventures, View Different (founded by Diego Piacentini, who will advise the company), and Riccardo Zacconi, founder of King (Candy Crush), alongside strategic angels.

Existing investors Entourage, Verve Ventures, and Joe Zadeh also joined. Base10 General Partner Rexhi Dollaku will take a board seat.

What they're saying

"With this round, we will accelerate international growth and build the future of the legal profession with AI at its core," said CEO and co-founder Paolo Fois.

"Lexroom is transforming one of the largest and most tradition-bound industries with a product that lawyers actually love using," said Rexhi Dollaku, General Partner at Base10 Partners. "Paolo, Martina, and Andrea bring deep legal expertise and product vision, and have shown how AI can meaningfully change the way legal work gets done. We're proud to partner as they set a new standard for AI in the legal sector."

Why this matters for legal teams

• Speed with control: AI-generated drafts and research summaries can cut hours from routine tasks, while citation tracking keeps teams confident in the source of truth.
• Jurisdiction-first accuracy: Outputs tied to relevant statutes and case law reduce risk and rework across cross-border matters.
• Scalable knowledge: Turning prior work into searchable, reusable intelligence helps firms productize services and in-house teams standardize responses.
• Talent leverage: Associates focus on analysis and strategy, not repetitive drafting-improving retention and utilization.

Evaluation checklist (before you pilot)

• Data security: Clarify data residency, encryption, retention, and model training boundaries (no client data used to train shared models).
• Source controls: Confirm citation visibility, jurisdiction filters, and update cadence for statutes and case law.
• Audit trails: Ensure version history and prompt/output logs support privilege and defensibility.
• Integrations: Check fit with your DMS, KMS, eDiscovery, and email workflows. Avoid tools that create parallel silos.
• Governance: Align with EU AI Act risk practices and internal AI policies; define use cases and red lines early. EU AI Act overview
• Pilot scope: Start with one practice area or document type, set baseline metrics (time-to-draft, revision cycles), and compare outcomes.

Growth signals

Lexroom's pace-tripled clients, doubled headcount, and geographic expansion within six months-suggests clear product-market pull. The company previously closed a $2 million Seed round and is now scaling across Europe with fresh capital and board support.

What to watch next

• Depth by jurisdiction: How quickly Lexroom expands authoritative coverage across EU member states and beyond.
• Enterprise readiness: SOC 2/ISO progress, conflict checks, redaction features, and admin controls for large orgs.
• Measurable ROI: Published benchmarks on drafting speed, accuracy rates, and matter throughput.
