GetYourLawyer AG, Switzerland's pioneering legal tech platform, has been acquired by tech entrepreneurs Bastian Manintveld and François Chabat. This strategic move marks a new chapter in the company's journey to revolutionize legal and other professional services in Switzerland and beyond.

Bastian Manintveld, an accomplished entrepreneur with a track record in digital innovation and business growth, brings a wealth of experience to GetYourLawyer. François Chabat, who holds a PhD in machine learning from Imperial College London has a deep understanding of artificial intelligence and its applications in technology will be invaluable in driving innovation within the platform.

"We are incredibly excited about the potential of GetYourLawyer," said Manintveld. "The original founders were pioneers in digitizing legal services for the Swiss marketplace. They have built an impressive platform. The substantial investment in both the technology and the brand has established GetYourLawyer as a trusted name in the Swiss legal tech landscape. We see tremendous opportunities for growth, both in Switzerland and internationally."

The new owners envision a multi-faceted expansion strategy that includes broadening the platform's service offerings, exploring new markets, and leveraging cutting-edge technologies to enhance the user experience. The initial focus will be on scaling the platform's success in Switzerland to other European countries and beyond.

"GetYourLawyer has immense potential to transform how legal services are accessed and delivered, not just in Switzerland but across Europe," Chabat added. "We're eager to leverage cutting-edge AI technologies to streamline legal processes and expand into new verticals and geographical areas."

The original founders, who have moved on to new ventures, expressed their support for the acquisition and the new vision:

Dominic Rogger, former Chairman of the Board, stated, "We're confident that Bastian and François will take GetYourLawyer to new heights. Their combined expertise in digital innovation and AI aligns perfectly with our original mission of simplifying access to legal services, and their plans for expansion are truly exciting."

Muriel Völkle commented, "The platform is in capable hands. I'm particularly impressed with their vision for growth and innovation in the legal tech space."

Matthias Isler added, "This acquisition is a testament to the hard work our team has put in. The vision for expansion into new areas will undoubtedly benefit both lawyers and clients across Europe."

The new owners have assured existing clients and staff that the transition will be smooth, with a focus on continuity and enhancement of services. "Our priority is to build on the trust that GetYourLawyer has established in the Swiss marketplace while expanding our reach," Manintveld emphasized. "We're committed to maintaining the high standards of service while introducing AI-driven innovations that will benefit legal professionals and clients across various sectors and countries."

This acquisition comes at a time when the global legal tech sector is experiencing significant growth, projected to reach US$ 69.7 Billion by 2032. With their combined expertise in digital entrepreneurship, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, Manintveld and Chabat are well-positioned to capitalize on this trend and establish GetYourLawyer as a leader in the digital transformation of legal services across Europe.
