✨𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻 - 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗧𝗖 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀✨ Legalian is a platform that supports notaries, lawyers, tax consultants and auditors in particular in meeting the requirements of the German Money Laundering Act (GwG). We automate individual checks with specially trained AI models and significantly reduce the time required. We asked the founders three questions about their start-up and their journey with the Legal Tech Colab: 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻? Founding a company with your own brother makes the process of getting to know each other much easier ;). We met our co-founder Consti while studying computer science at the TU Munich. The first time we worked as a team on a project was during the 1st lockdown in Corona times. The idea for Legalian came to us at the end of 2022 after we came into increasing contact with the German Money Laundering Act and associated verification processes and recognized the considerable potential for automation. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗧𝗖 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽? A functioning and diverse network is essential in order to actively digitalize the legal market and its processes. LTC membership offers us ideal opportunities for customer feedback, further development of our product and mentoring from experienced legal tech founders - in short, the perfect sparring partners on our journey. 𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀? 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗧𝗖 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀? Our goal for the coming months is to become the leading solution for anti money laundering compliance in the legal sector and to offer German law firms significant added value for the onboarding process.

We have published the best performing robo advisers in 2024, cut by Q4 24, 2024 and over 2 years. You realise quite what a blistering 2 years we have had in the stock market when you see that 6 out of the 14 providers we track (in the higher risk profiles) returned more than 30% across 2023 and 2024. To be able to access that (and that's after all fees have been taken into account), shows you how far we have come in the UK since Nick Hungerford first set up Nutmeg in 2011. The average high-risk solution returned 13.7% in 2024. The better performers for these risk levels over 2024 (net of fees) are shown in the pic. Robos are not free from risks, as we saw most brutally from the behaviour of so-called 'low risk' options in the aftermath of Liz Truss' mini Budget. They tanked and freaked out many customers caught in something which most definitely did not do what it said on the tin. But, for now, looking back at 2024, it was a good news story all round. Diversification and decent returns at a low fee, delivered up via ever-improving apps. Robo advisers continue to take market share both by £s and by customers. The main platforms are not oblivious to this and a key theme for 2025 will be them trying to be better at serving up simpler solutions, whilst conversely the robos all start to add more. So we will end up meeting in the middle and robo adviser will be an anachronistic term in 5 years time. IMHO.
