Our take
Doctrine was founded with the aim of granting more democratic, easier access to collections of French case law, and since then it has expanded to become the leading legal intelligence platform in France. Beyond providing access to over 100,000 court decisions, it also helps professionals manage their cases, and offers artificial intelligence driven insights and analytics of documents and legal strategies.
France’s LegalTech sector is booming relative to the rest of the world, enjoying high growth. Doctrine is performing particularly well within it, high labour costs, and a difficult financial climate for this sector means few legaltech startups make it to Series A funding. This means Doctrine have made it to a neat and potentially highly lucrative market niche, and given their regionally specific expertise it’s not one they’re likely to see threatened by international competitors.
The most popular legaltech tools, like Westlaw Edge and Lex Machina, perform similar productivity-enhancing functions when it comes to document research and case review, so Doctrine are smart to be championing this in France. However, cautious French regulators have placed restrictions on judiciary analytics, so with this in mind, in addition to their by-design limited geographic spread, Doctrine could find it challenging to innovate going forwards.
