Legal tech provider Dilitrust expands North American presence with the acquisition of doeLEGAL

DiliTrust, a provider of AI-powered legal software for in-house legal teams, has acquired doeLEGAL, an Enterprise Legal Management (ELM) company.

US-based doeLEGAL offers software for matter management, eBilling, and eDiscovery, catering to companies, including several in the healthcare and insurance sectors. According to DiliTrust, the acquisition strengthens its presence in North America and expands its range of legal management solutions.

The acquisition is part of DiliTrust’s strategy to enhance its service offerings for in-house legal teams. DiliTrust provides AI-driven solutions that promise to help legal departments manage workflows, increase efficiency, and mitigate risk. Its software suite includes tools for managing contracts, legal entities, and board operations and complies with privacy and security standards such as GDPR and ISO 27001.

"In-house legal teams are under pressure to improve efficiency while managing increasing workloads," said Yves Garagnon, global CEO of DiliTrust. “Our acquisition of doeLEGAL enables us to provide a holistic platform that addresses these challenges head-on, leveraging AI to drive even more efficiency, cost savings, and ultimately empowering their business partner role within the organization."

Bruce Kuennen, president of doeLEGAL, emphasized aligning the two companies’ objectives. "Both DiliTrust and doeLEGAL focus on improving legal operations through technology. This acquisition brings together our expertise to help legal teams improve productivity and deliver more value to their organizations," he said.

As part of the acquisition, all doeLEGAL employees will join DiliTrust. The Paris-based company now has more than 300 employees worldwide, serving clients in over 60 countries, with offices in the US, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Spain, and the UAE.

Maxime Delagneau, sales director of DiliTrust Canada, highlighted the impact on Canadian legal teams, noting that integrating doeLEGAL’s services will enhance DiliTrust’s ability to support cross-border compliance and operational efficiency in North America.

This acquisition is DiliTrust’s fourth in two years, following investments from Cathay Capital, Eurazeo, and Sagard.
