EG expands into Sweden's legal tech sector by acquiring LEX247
EG has acquired the Swedish legal practice management provider LEX247, strengthening its position in legal tech across Sweden and Denmark supporting its ambition to build a leading Nordic legal software portfolio.
LEX247 is a cloud-native legal practice management system designed to support law firms of all sizes with secure, scalable, and efficient digital workflows.
"With the acquisition of LEX247 we establish a strong platform in Sweden while strengthening our offering to Danish customers, thus taking an important step toward building a leading Nordic position in legal tech. We want to be the lawyers first choice and LEX247 is just the kind of best-of-breed-solution that enables all size law firms to streamline workflows and processes in a safe and secure environment", says CEO Mikkel Bardram, EG.
Presenting LEX247 to new markets
LEX247 is one of the very few legal practice management systems built fully cloud-native, offering real-time synchronization, high security standards, and scalability aligned with modern legal practices.
With EG as its new owner, the management of LEX247 has great confidence in the future:
"We provide a flexible solution that includes real-time collaboration across devices and locations, high-grade security, and scalability that aligns with the modern, global law firm as well as the local lawyer. With EG we have found just the right owner to bring our solution further into new markets," says Daniel Halan, LEX247.
The LEX247 acquisition will benefit Swedish and Danish customers
LEX247 will complement the existing suite of legal tech products in EG and the existing and new customers in both Sweden and Denmark will benefit from the acquisition:
"Our customers will benefit from our focus on implementing AI in all relevant processes, rapid development, customer success and our specialized legal tech-support.
We will invest and make sure the lawyers will reap the benefits of automation supported by AI making LEX247 even more attractive and that will support our ambition to become market leader within Legal Tech in The Nordics.
Built for the AI-driven future of legal work
The legal industry is undergoing rapid transformation as AI technologies increasingly automate routine tasks like document review, contract analysis, and legal research. LEX247's modern, cloud-native architecture is specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with AI tools and services, positioning law firms to capitalize on this shift.
"We're seeing AI reshape how legal work gets done. Firms that adopt AI-ready platforms will gain significant competitive advantages through improved efficiency and reduced costs on routine tasks. LEX247's open API architecture and cloud-native design make it ideal for integrating both current and future AI capabilities, allowing lawyers to focus on high-value advisory work rather than administrative tasks," says Executive Vice President, Johnny Iversen, EG.
Unlike legacy on-premises systems, LEX247 can rapidly incorporate new AI features as they become available, ensuring customers stay at the forefront of legal technology innovation.
Long time focus on legal tech in EG
EG has a long history as supplier of legal practice management systems in Denmark with well-known solutions like EG AdvoPro, EG CapLegal and EG InkassoPro, that are fully integrated with specialized modules like finance and document management for legal tech.
“LEX247, however, is one of the best cloud native legal practice management systems I've ever seen, and we will soon introduce the system on the Danish market which benefits new and existing customers. This will be a unique opportunity for law firms in The Nordics to modernize and digitalize their business with a full toolbox that automates all non-value adding tasks and enables the lawyers to focus on their core business", says Vice President, Lisbeth Bekker, EG.
