LeadLex
ABOUT / Lead IP GmbH

Built by intellectual-property people. For IP firms.

LeadLex was founded by a team that came up in the IP world — patents, trademarks, designs, prosecution cycles, INTA season, renewal calendars.

WHY WE BUILT IT

The relationships were there. The tools to manage them weren’t.

We spent years watching IP firms lose work to firms with better BD infrastructure, not better lawyers.

We didn’t build a better CRM. We built the operating layer we wished we’d had — one that joins every system in an IP firm’s day into a single, current view of the practice. The four ambitions every well-run IP firm’s strategic plan carries — deeper client relationships, a professionalised BD function, sustainable organic growth, operational efficiency — become operable when the infrastructure exists to execute them.

WHO BACKS US

Our first cheques came from working IP partners. The people whose day jobs we set out to make better.

THE LEADLEX WAY

Three principles that shape everything we build.

We’re building the operating layer that lets partners focus on the work that matters. Lexi handles BD operations in the background — every outbound action queued for your approval — so the firm’s relationship infrastructure is finally as good as the lawyers running it.

  • 01

    Domain first

    Built by people who spent years in legal BD. Every feature starts from a real workflow, not a product roadmap.

  • 02

    Trust & transparency

    Your data, your control, always. No model training on client data. Full audit logging. DPA included on every plan.

  • 03

    Relentless simplicity

    AI should remove complexity, not add it. If a partner can’t use it in 30 seconds, we haven’t finished building it.

THE MODEL

Built with Claude.

Lexi’s intelligence is powered by Claude, Anthropic’s frontier AI model. We chose Claude for its reasoning depth, safety commitment, and enterprise-grade reliability — values that are non-negotiable in a legal context. Your conversations with Lexi are private, confidential, and never used for training.
