About vLex

vLex is a Spanish legaltech company founded in 2000 that built the world's largest AI-based legal research platform by content volume: over 150 million legal documents โ€” judgments, legislation, doctrine, treaties โ€” from over 130 countries and available in more than 60 languages. For lawyers, judges, academics, and legal professionals, vLex has become the global research tool that transcends the geographic and linguistic limitations of national legal collections. Its flagship product is Vincent โ€” a legal AI assistant based on LLMs trained specifically on legal corpora โ€” which enables professionals to query the database in natural language, obtain jurisprudence summaries, find relevant precedents, and build legal arguments with verified sources. Unlike generalist chatbots, Vincent is designed to respect the specificities of legal reasoning: every response is anchored to real, verifiable sources. vLex serves over 2,000 organisations worldwide โ€” law firms, courts, universities, and companies โ€” and has built partnerships with jurisdictions and supreme courts in multiple countries that adopt the platform as the official research tool for their judges and magistrates. A rare case of legaltech with Spanish roots and global impact.
