London-headquartered board technology and advisory firm Board Intelligence is partnering with Danish legaltech start-up Juristic, combining its governance expertise with Juristic’s AI-powered workflows.
Copenhagen-based Juristic helps legal professionals by mapping out company structures, with visual assistance from tools including organisational diagrams.
Additionally, it creates timelines sourced from documents and evidence while also deploying AI to compare, analyse and draft legal documents.
Board Intelligence will support Juristic with long-term investment aiming to strengthen its position in the Nordic region as part of a shared AI innovation vision to advance boards, governance teams and legal leaders. The firm says that it serves more than 80,000 business leaders worldwide.
Christian Mellado Hjortshøj, co-founder of Juristic said: “Our clients choose Juristic because it makes their most complex work clear, and fast – and none of that changes.
“As part of the Board Intelligence group, we can build faster, reach further and keep working towards our ambition of building the most important tools in legal.”
Pippa Begg, CEO and co-founder of Board Intelligence, said that the firm has enabled boards to “unleash their potential” for the past two decades.
She added: “The best governance reaches far beyond the boardroom, into the legal and advisory work that brings board decisions to life, and Juristic are building something remarkable in that space.”
Juristic was founded five years ago by Mellado Hjortshøj alongside Kean Nøbølle Ottesen.
London-based Board Intelligence began in 2002 and officially launched its operations six years later fronted by Begg and Jennifer Sundberg. Begg has stayed with the firm throughout its journey, and currently is a guest lecturer at the Henley Business School.
Sundberg initially was co-CEO of the firm alongside Begg, before accepting the role of advisory board member two years ago.
The Board Intelligence and Juristic partnership is the latest legaltech collaboration involving an established firm and a more junior partner.
Last month, US legaltech firm Consilio announced a strategic partnership deal with AI-based legaltech start-up Eudia, integrating its purpose-built AI agents with Consilio’s long-standing technology expertise.
This followed Eudia securing a partnership with tech giant Open AI in May, to support legal and acquisition teams in the Department of War, among other US federal agencies.
Also in May, Harvey unveiled a partnership with Swiss legal AI intelligence start-up DeepJudge – a platform that enables legal teams to integrate their previous work into Harvey’s workflows, helping lawyers to research, draft and analyse with AI.
