Lexlegis.ai at Davos: India’s Legal Intelligence enters the Global AI Conversation

As global leaders, policymakers, and industry experts convene in Davos to debate the future of artificial intelligence, legal systems—often among the slowest to evolve—are emerging as a critical part of that conversation. Representing India in this dialogue is Lexlegis.ai, a legal intelligence platform built on decades of legal data engineering and now positioned at the intersection of law, governance, and advanced AI.

Lexlegis.ai’s presence at the World Economic Forum reflects a broader shift: legal AI is no longer a niche tool for efficiency, but a foundational question for institutions grappling with algorithmic power, accountability, and trust. With legal systems worldwide under pressure—from mounting case backlogs to rising regulatory complexity—the ability of AI to assist legal reasoning without compromising transparency has become a global concern.

In this context, Lexlegis.ai brings a distinctly Indian perspective to the global stage. Built in India and trained on one of the world’s most extensive authentic legal corpora, the platform focuses on legal inference explainability, and citation-backed outputs—areas where generic AI systems often fall short. The company’s approach reflects a principle increasingly echoed in global policy discussions: in law, it is not enough for AI to generate answers; it must also explain how those answers are reached.

This theme will be explored further at a panel discussion hosted by The Economic Times on January 22, from 10:45 AM to 11:30 AM, titled “Law in the Age of AI: Can Legal Systems Keep Up With Algorithmic Power?” The discussion will take place at Promenade 120, 7260 Davos Platz, and will bring together global and Indian perspectives on legal innovation.

Confirmed panellists include Ben Allgrove, Global Chief Innovation Officer and Lead Partner (AI) at Baker McKenzie, and Saakar Yadav, Founder of Lexlegis.ai. The panel is expected to examine how legal firms, in-house counsels, and regulatory bodies can adapt to AI-driven decision-making while maintaining due process, accountability, and institutional legitimacy—questions that resonate as strongly in India as they do globally. For Indian legal technology companies, participation in such discussions marks a significant moment: not merely showcasing innovation, but contributing to how global norms around legal AI are shaped.

Lexlegis.ai’s work is also notable for its emphasis on security and deployment in sensitive environments. The platform includes air-gapped, on-desk configurations developed in partnership with NVIDIA, enabling AI-assisted legal research and drafting in settings where data confidentiality is paramount, such as courts, government offices, and regulated enterprises. This focus reflects growing recognition that responsible AI adoption in law must be aligned with both technological capability and institutional safeguards.

For general counsel and law firm partners addressing data protection requirements and considerations of privilege, such frameworks emphasize a pivotal conclusion emanating from the discussions at Davos: the responsible integration of legal artificial intelligence must be congruent with institutional governance and data sovereignty, rather than detracting from them.

From its roots in multi-generational legal practice and large-scale legal data projects in India, Lexlegis.ai is now engaging with global conversations on AI governance, legal infrastructure, and institutional trust. Its participation at Davos signals a broader narrative: Indian legal technology is no longer only addressing domestic complexity, but is increasingly contributing to global debates on how law can evolve in the age of artificial intelligence.

As discussions at Davos continue, the questions facing legal systems are unlikely to have easy answers. But the presence of Indian platforms like Lexlegis.ai at these forums underscores a growing confidence that solutions shaped by India’s scale, diversity, and legal complexity may have relevance far beyond its borders.
