Company profile
researched Aug 2026Lexter.ai is a Brazilian legal technology company that sells AI-based "virtual specialists" for law firm operations. Its main product persona, Laura, is presented as a virtual legal specialist trained to interpret case context and automate technical and operational tasks: monitoring case dockets and notifying users of new procedural movements in real time, drafting legal filings, contracts and notifications, searching case law, summarizing complex documents and producing procedural reports, suggesting evidence and documents needed for filings, generating interview and hearing scripts, and preparing settlement proposals and legal opinions along with suggested next steps and strategy.
A second persona, Lia, is positioned as a virtual relationship specialist handling external client communication by email and WhatsApp, using the official Meta WhatsApp API for 24-hour coverage. Lia's described functions include interviewing and qualifying inbound contacts as leads and answering client questions about services, cases and status updates; routing complex demands to human staff and automating generation of contracts and powers of attorney are listed as forthcoming features. The company emphasizes specialization in Brazilian law, continuous availability, and compliance with Brazil's LGPD data protection law.
Business model
Software-as-a-service sold to law firms on a subscription basis, packaged as a single plan at a fixed price rather than tiered offerings.
