London’s Opus 2, a software and service provider for disputes and case management, announced the acquisition of Uncover, an Amsterdam-based legal AI company.
The organisations will combine their technology and expertise to improve workflows for legal professionals.
Uncover, founded in 2022 by Caroline Korteweg and Ingrid van de Pol-Mensing, has introduced a legal technology platform for law firms and in-house legal teams. The platform uses large language models to support case management, analysis, and collaboration.
Uncover’s engine surfaces insights and cross-references documents in context to support performance and reliability. It automates document organisation, generates timelines, summarises information, and provides search and case assistance.
The platform is designed to align with how lawyers manage litigation and to reduce the cognitive load of handling cases while keeping decision-making with legal professionals.
Aim of the acquisition
The acquisition builds on Opus 2’s role in commercial disputes technology and will extend the company’s offerings across litigation and arbitration solutions. Case strategy and agentic workflows are areas where the acquisition is expected to provide value to clients and the legal market.
Greg Blackman, CEO at Opus 2, says, “We’re thrilled to welcome Uncover to Opus 2. By combining our strengths, we’re poised to set a new standard for AI across the dispute lifecycle, delivering intuitive, innovative solutions that empower lawyers to excel and win cases.”
“In joining with Opus 2, we’re able to continue pursuing our mission to help lawyers be lawyers again—more productive, more insightful, and better equipped to thrive in the future,” said Caroline Zand-Korteweg, co-founder and co-CEO of Uncover. “Together, we will accelerate the pace of innovation and keep our clients ahead in a rapidly evolving legal market.”
“From our earliest conversations, it was clear that Opus 2 shares our commitment to innovation, client service, security, and company culture,” said Ingrid van de Pol-Mensing, co-founder and co-CEO of Uncover. “We’re proud to move forward into our next chapter with them.”
