Summary
Emmanuelle Filiberti, chief executive of French legal publisher Lextenso, explains in this interview the reasons for the tie-up with German publisher C.H.Beck, announced at the end of September. In her view, the deal aims to accelerate investment in artificial intelligence, which is both necessary and costly as major technology players enter the legal market. Lextenso, which has 240 employees and generates €49 million in revenue, launched Consult IA in September 2025, an AI tool that provides sourced legal answers. The new entity resulting from the tie-up will have 2,650 staff and €700 million in revenue. She also discusses the growing number of mergers and acquisitions in legal AI, driven by the need to stand out from general-purpose tools through the reliability of document collections.
