Doctrine Receives Growth Investment from Summit Partners to Build Leader in AI-Powered Legal Intelligence

PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Doctrine, a leading provider of legal intelligence solutions, today announced a majority growth investment from Summit Partners and Peugeot Invest.

Information tools are critical for day-to-day legal work. With an ever-expanding volume of available data, the ability to properly search and articulate such data has become time-consuming and unwieldy for legal professionals.

Doctrine was founded in 2016 with a vision to innovate legal search and is a pioneer in the application of artificial intelligence to legal data. The company’s legal intelligence platform aggregates, contextualizes and automates the processing of legal information and is designed to empower legal professionals to conduct more accurate and efficient search and save time, limit errors and focus on higher value-add tasks. Doctrine has grown by more than 20x in the last five years, and today the company serves more than 11,000 clients.

“Legal professionals across the globe are struggling to keep up with the proliferation of available legal data," said Guillaume Carrère, CEO of Doctrine. "Doctrine offers a technological solution to this widespread problem, allowing legal professionals to efficiently and accurately locate, understand and harness massive amounts of information in order to build the most impactful legal strategies.”

“Early on, we made the decision to focus on profitable growth, and this approach has informed our operations and our culture,” added Carrère. “We are focused on continuing to apply this approach as we develop innovative solutions that support legal professionals in France and around the world. We believe Summit Partners’ experience will allow us to continue our development and build a leader in legal technology.”

“We believe Doctrine is a pioneer in bringing technology innovation to the field of legal information. We’re thrilled to partner with this dynamic, talented and visionary team, and we look forward to working together to build upon the company’s impressive momentum and support its continued growth,” said Johannes Grefe, Managing Director, and Chris Bon, Principal at Summit Partners.

Bertrand Finet, CEO at Peugeot Invest, added, “We are proud to support Doctrine with this investment, which aligns with our growth strategy to support the technology leaders of tomorrow.”
