Tunisian legal-tech startup Juridoc has secured an undisclosed amount of funding to accelerate the digitalization of legal services across Africa and the Middle East.
The investment round was led by 216 Capital Ventures and Go Big Partners, both beneficiaries of Tunisia’s ANAVA fund of funds managed by Smart Capital.
Founded in 2021 by CEO Kais Assali, along with co-founders Maya Boureghda Chebeane and Anis Wahabi, Juridoc offers an AI-powered search engine that provides legal professionals, businesses, and institutions with quick access to a comprehensive database of legislation, case law, doctrine, and legal monitoring. The platform currently hosts over 252,000 legal documents and has facilitated more than 325,000 successful legal searches for its 4,000-plus paid users in Tunisia and Senegal.
The fresh capital will be utilized to upgrade Juridoc’s technological infrastructure, enhancing the performance of its AI-based search engine. Additionally, the company plans to expand its legal content to accommodate the local specifics of new markets and bolster its commercial and marketing efforts to accelerate platform adoption.
This strategic investment aligns with Juridoc’s ambition to democratize access to legal information and services, addressing a critical need for legal professionals not only in Tunisia and Senegal but across West Africa and the Middle East.
The collaboration between 216 Capital Ventures and Go Big Partners underscores a collective commitment to fostering innovation in the legal-tech sector, a rapidly growing market in Africa. By supporting Juridoc’s expansion, the investors aim to contribute to the modernization and efficiency of legal services across the continent.
