■ Our Dream — We want to deliver AILEX to all Civil Law countries
Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Germany, France. There are many 'Civil Law' countries in the world that operate their laws primarily based on legal codes. Accumulating interpretations of statutory articles, preparing vast amounts of documents, and constructing arguments one by one. Lawyers in Civil Law jurisdictions have continued this practice for hundreds of years.
However, the tools supporting this practice are still paper, fax, and manual labor.
AILEX wants to change this situation. Started from a small law firm in Japan, our dream is that AILEX will one day exist on the desktops of lawyers in Taipei, the tablets of legal professionals in Berlin, and the smartphones of attorneys in Seoul.
■ AI thrives precisely because these are countries of statutory articles
While precedents are the core of law in Common Law countries, written codes are the foundation of practice in Civil Law countries. Japan's Civil Code, Germany's BGB, Taiwan's Civil Code—all start from systematically compiled codes.
This structure is extremely compatible with AI. Starting from the articles, referring to precedents, and constructing arguments tailored to the case. By having AI support this workflow, lawyers can focus on 'making judgments for the client.'
In Japan, AILEX has already implemented over 70 types of AI document templates across 16 legal categories, 20 AI agents, and integration with the e-Gov laws API. We will connect this system to the legal codes of each country and deliver 'article-driven AI legal support' to the world.
■ The 'Three Pains' shared by lawyers in Civil Law jurisdictions
The challenges AILEX has been addressing in Japan are common to Civil Law jurisdictions.
First, the sheer volume of documents. In Japan, starting in May 2026
