Legalscape Enters Sales Partnership with Funai Soken to Accelerate DX for Professional Firms

Legalscape, Inc. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Tatsuki Yagita) has entered into a sales partnership agreement with Funai Soken Holdings, Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Daisuke Shinkai), effective April 1, 2026, and began offering implementation proposals in May. Through this partnership, Legalscape will introduce its legal research platform to Funai Soken's professional firm clients, contributing to improved productivity and the resolution of management challenges.

Background of the Partnership: In law firm management, increasing productivity per attorney is a universal challenge. Legal research, a critical task in the early stages of a case, is time-consuming when conducted across various books and legal databases. This burden is often heavier for smaller firms, sometimes limiting their ability to take on new types of cases.

Funai Soken, a leading Japanese management consulting firm, maintains specialized consultants for the professional services sector and operates management study groups. Meanwhile, Legalscape provides a platform containing over 44,000 legal information items, including more than 4,500 legal books, powered by generative AI and proprietary natural language processing technology.

By proposing Legalscape as a solution to management challenges, Funai Soken consultants aim to help professional firms achieve sustainable growth.

Partnership Overview: Funai Soken will act as a sales partner for Legalscape, focusing on: - Proposing Legalscape as a research foundation in consulting services. - Sharing usage case studies through management study groups and seminars.

Comments: Kunihiko Yoshitomi of Funai Soken emphasized that streamlining research is vital for productivity. Tatsuki Yagita of Legalscape expressed enthusiasm for combining their technology with Funai Soken's strategic management approach.
