Omnilex: Building next-gen legal content

While today’s legal AI tools handle only routine queries, Omnilex aims to move far beyond surface-level research.

Founded by Marco Henri, Omnilex simplifies legal research for law firms and legal teams. By reducing research time and making collaboration easier, it allows in-house legal professionals to concentrate on their strategic roles and provide more value to their organisations.

“We are building legal commentary that surpasses existing literature in scale, actuality, AI fitness and undiscovered niches,” says Henri in a LinkedIn post.

By automating many of the research tasks that lawyers typically carry out manually, such as locating relevant laws, court decisions, and legal literature, the Swiss company empowers users to save up to 93 per cent of their time.

The platform features a context-based search feature where users can find legal sources up to 60 per cent faster.

OmniLex says it operates on Microsoft Azure and adheres to Swiss GDPR-style regulations.

The platform offers a range of key features, including AI support for drafting and analysing legal documents, collaboration tools such as a Word add-in and team licenses.

At present, the company targets lawyers, legal departments, and law firms.

The company’s mission is to help its users streamline their workflow, minimise manual research efforts, and integrate modern AI tools into their legal practice.
