LexLegis AI, an India-founded legal artificial intelligence platform, plans to pitch its AI-driven legal model built for India at the World Economic Forum at Davos in Switzerland.
Law is one of the most complex and risk-sensitive areas for AI adoption. Legal research, reasoning and drafting underpin the functioning of courts, governments and enterprises, yet the global legal ecosystem — estimated at over $320 billion annually — continues to rely heavily on manual, time-intensive processes, said the legal firm.
Saakar Yadav, Founder & Managing Director, LexLegis AI, said as artificial intelligence increasingly influences decision-making across public and private institutions, the legal sector cannot afford systems that prioritise speed over responsibility. Trust, accountability, and rationality must remain the non-negotiable foundations of Legal AI, he said.
Davos provides a vital global forum to engage directly with policymakers, judges, technologists and industry leaders on how Legal AI must evolve — ethically, institutionally and at scale, he added.
“Building AI for India’s uniquely complex and high-volume legal ecosystem has given us practical insights that extend far beyond one jurisdiction. These learnings are directly applicable to legal systems around the world,” said Yadav.
The company’s participation at Davos is not about showcasing technology — it is about contributing to a global framework for Legal AI that strengthens the rule of law, enhances human judgment, and reinforces public trust, rather than attempting to replace the legal foundations on which societies depend, he said confirming his participation in the panel discussion on ‘Law in the Age of AI: Can Legal Systems Keep Up With Algorithmic Power?’ at Davos.
Due to its extensive size, varied regulations and fundamental legal intricacies, India has become a pivotal arena for sophisticated legal technologies, necessitating that innovation aligns with constitutional principles and public confidence. Consequently, solutions crafted and enhanced in the Indian context are progressively influencing global discussions, providing important frameworks for regions aiming to update their legal systems, while preserving governance, transparency, and the rule of law, said LexLegis AI.
