Lexroom makes first acquisitions with Query Juriste and Praven Intelekt deals

Lexroom has made its first acquisitions, buying French legal AI company Query Juriste and Bulgarian Praven Intelekt. For a company that had grown mainly by itself until now, this is a clear shift: it is pairing organic expansion with M&A to push deeper into Europe.

The deal takes Lexroom beyond Italy, Germany and Spain and gives it a footprint in five European markets. The founders and teams from both companies are coming over too, and the Query Juriste and Praven Intelekt brands will slowly be folded into Lexroom. Etienne Le Guay will lead France. Siyanna Lilova will take charge of Central and Eastern Europe.

The logic here is not just scale for scale’s sake. Lexroom is arguing that legal AI cannot be shipped like a generic software tool because law is local by design: different legislation, different case law, different language, different workflows. So instead of treating a general-purpose model as the product, it has built around certified legal sources and structured legal data.

That matters because the two acquired businesses bring real local reach. Query Juriste says it has nearly 300 customers and about 1,000 paying users in France, plus access to more than five million French and European legal documents. Praven Intelekt gives Lexroom more than 900 customers in Bulgaria and its first opening in Central and Eastern Europe.

Lexroom itself says it now serves more than 20,000 customers, employs over 200 people and has connected its technology to more than 13 million legal sources. It also says it passed €20 million in annual recurring revenue in summer 2026, after raising a $50 million Series B in May 2026, just eight months after a $19 million Series A. The long game is straightforward: become the AI operating system for legal work, starting with Civil Law markets in Europe.
