Legal 230

What Legal 230 does

Legal 230 is a Paris-headquartered legal translation agency serving European legal professionals, including international law firms, corporate legal departments, notaries, and commissioners of justice. The company offers certified and free legal translation, on-site and remote interpreting, legalization and apostille processing, and document proofreading across English, Spanish, Chinese, and Arabic, supported by a 24/7 multi-continent operating model that returns quotes within 30 minutes.

The technology stack combines a proprietary neural-network-based AI branded "Alan" with a network of specialist legal translators, a Class IV secure client portal compliant with ISO/IEC 27001, and an AI-driven multilingual document management tool called "Lexa." Revenue is generated project-by-project through a quote-driven professional services model; go-to-market is sales-led via the company website and direct sales, amplified by CEO-led thought leadership in Forbes, Le Figaro, and legal industry publications and events. The visible customer base spans more than 3,000 legal professionals and includes blue-chip international law firm logos such as Clifford Chance, Linklaters, Norton Rose, Freshfields, and Paul Hastings.

In July 2026 Legal 230 announced a strategic partnership with Swiss LegalTech Neur.on, creating a combined group with access to over 1,500 specialist translators across Paris, London, Brussels, and Luxembourg. Under the partnership, CEO Fabien Bernier assumed the CEO role at Neur.on while remaining CEO of Legal 230, with Neur.on founder Paula Reichenberg taking the chair role. The combined entity is positioning itself as Europe's first operator to blend AI-powered self-service legal translation with human expertise.
