Jus Mundi: First Legal Tech to Earn ISO 42001 AI Management System Certification
28th July 2025
Jus Mundi, a legal tech platform focused on AI-driven arbitration data, has become the first in its field to receive the ISO 42001 certification. This international standard covers AI Management Systems (AIMS), setting clear requirements for organizations that develop or use AI-based tools.
What Is ISO 42001 and Why Does It Matter?
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) explains that ISO 42001 provides a framework to establish, implement, maintain, and improve AI management systems. It focuses on responsible AI development and use, addressing challenges like ethical issues, transparency, and continuous learning.
For legal tech companies, this means having a structured approach to managing AI risks and opportunities. The standard balances innovation with governance, which is especially important in sectors like law where compliance and trust are critical.
How Does This Certification Benefit Legal Professionals?
Jus Mundi believes the certification will resonate with legal professionals who demand both performance and compliance from AI tools. The legal sector faces high risks and sensitivity, making responsible AI use essential.
According to Jus Mundi, the certification—audited by Prescient Security—validates that their AI systems, including the Jus AI generative legal assistant, meet rigorous standards for responsibility, transparency, and trustworthiness. This strengthens their reputation as a reliable partner for legal research, document analysis, and cross-border arbitration.
Essentially, the certification is about building trust. While many lawyers already use AI tools confidently, there are still some who approach AI cautiously. For those professionals, an ISO certification can provide reassurance.
Jus Mundi’s Perspective on AI Governance
Matthieu Guilpin, Jus Mundi’s Chief Information Security Officer, highlighted that the certification confirms structured AI governance, risk management, data protection, transparency, and ethical oversight—all verified by an independent third party.
He added that this not only safeguards Jus Mundi’s systems but also helps clients meet their own compliance requirements, offering an extra layer of protection.
What’s Next for Legal Tech and AI Certifications?
Whether other legal tech companies will follow suit depends on whether founders see ISO 42001 as a valuable differentiator—similar to how SOC compliance is regarded in the industry.
For legal professionals interested in AI tools and compliance, staying informed about certifications like ISO 42001 is worthwhile. This could influence procurement decisions and help ensure that AI solutions meet evolving regulatory expectations.
