Consilio Acquires AI Legal Innovator TrueLaw
Consilio, a global leader in legal technology solutions and enterprise legal services, has announced the acquisition of TrueLaw, a legal AI research lab based in New York. This strategic acquisition significantly expands Consilio’s comprehensive, trusted, and private AI suite of capabilities, reinforcing the company’s role as the world’s largest AI legal data technology provider.
“This acquisition exemplifies our strategy of making significant technology investments to maintain our leadership position on behalf of our clients,” said Andy Macdonald, CEO of Consilio. “We’re not just keeping pace with AI innovation; we’re driving it forward through strategic acquisitions, internal R&D, and deep partnerships with the most innovative companies in legal AI.”
TrueLaw’s innovative approach to legal AI, including its proprietary Expert Legal Model (ELM™) and advanced narrative generation capabilities, will complement Consilio’s existing AI suite and Aurora platform, transforming complex legal datasets into clear, actionable insights. The acquisition enables clients to access highly sophisticated AI-powered investigation tools, automated timeline generation, contradiction detection, and firm-specific language model fine-tuning: advancing legal technology as we know it.
“It is a perfect business fit for us to join the Consilio team, a company with an unmatched, proven track record of delivering impactful AI solutions to global law firms and corporations,” said Arunim Samat, CEO and Co-Founder of TrueLaw. “Consilio’s extensive scale, deep expertise, and commitment to responsible AI innovation create the ideal environment for our technology to thrive. This acquisition will significantly accelerate the advancement of our Expert Legal Model and narrative AI capabilities while also tapping into Consilio’s robust client relationships and profound understanding of legal workflows.”
The acquisition strengthens Consilio’s position as a global leader in legal technology by enhancing its AI capabilities in several key areas for its clients:
- Smarter AI for Legal Investigations: TrueLaw’s advanced AI tools are designed to analyse and make sense of large volumes of legal data. These tools augment Consilio’s existing capabilities, such as Aurora’s intelligent search features and Relativity Server’s data analysis tools, providing clients with a range of specialised options for uncovering key insights in their data.
- Custom AI Solutions for Law Firms: TrueLaw’s ELM enables AI to be tailored to each client’s specific needs and practice areas. This means law firms can create tailored AI tools optimised for their workflows and challenges.
- Turning Data into Clear Insights: TrueLaw’s AI technology can transform complex datasets, such as emails, contracts, and financial reports, into easy-to-understand summaries, timelines, and actionable insights. It also detects contradictions and inconsistencies automatically, saving time and improving accuracy.
- Boosted Innovation Team: With the addition of TrueLaw’s research team—comprising experts from companies like Google, Apple, and Databricks, as well as institutions such as Harvard Law School—Consilio gains even greater power to innovate. This team will help further develop Consilio’s AI tools, like the Aurora platform, and drive new advancements in legal technology.
“By focusing not only on the practice of law but also the business of law, TrueLaw builds AI solutions that are practical and performance-driven, enabling measurable ROI for firms and legal departments,” said Oren Leib, Head of Growth at TrueLaw. “Consilio’s scale, deep subject matter expertise, and legal tech infrastructure take that impact to the next level.”
