Josef, a Melbourne, Australia-based SaaS platform that provides solutions such as automated client interaction and document drafting for lawyers and legal professionals, raised A$5.2 million in funding.
The round was led by OIF Ventures, with participation from Carthona Capital, Flying Fox Ventures, Jelix Ventures, and Saniel Ventures, which will support the business as it doubles down on its mission to transform the way legal services are delivered globally.
The new funds will also use to expand its reach globally through several new hires in the US, alongside APAC, following successful launches in North America and Europe last year.
CEO and co-founder Tom Dreyfus said “Josef is no longer just about helping legal practitioners improve their effectiveness and efficiency through technology, although this is still a core part of our offering. We’re an innovation partner helping the sector automate the nitty gritty so that teams can better assist the people they serve. While we’ve always focused on solving problems for both in-house teams and law firms, we’re now in a position to help the millions of corporate legal teams globally do better. “Whether this be helping address unmet justice needs or streamlining operations so that the work that really makes a difference can be prioritized, we’ve created a simple but impactful automation platform that anyone in the legal trade can use. Our focus is now on helping the global industry realize just what is possible.”
The software enables legal professionals to easily build digital tools that automate their day-to-day work, from streamlining intake to drafting contracts and providing advice.
The company counts law firms including Gunderson Dettmer, Clifford Chance, and MinterEllison as clients.
