About
Josef is an AI-powered legal operations platform designed for in-house legal teams, law firms, and compliance professionals. It provides three core capabilities: AI Q&A, contract automation, and workflow automation—all through an intuitive no-code interface. With Josef Q, legal teams can transform their internal policies, playbooks, and FAQs into interactive Q&A tools, so business teams get accurate legal answers on demand without waiting on counsel. This eliminates repetitive inquiries and lets legal staff focus on higher-value work. The contract automation module allows teams to build document templates once—NDAs, MSAs, employment contracts, vendor agreements—and hand them off to Sales, HR, or Procurement for self-service drafting. Customers like L'Oréal have cut contract turnaround times by 66% using this approach. Josef's workflow automation designer maps entire legal processes—from intake to approvals—and integrates with existing tech stacks. Teams like Bupa have launched 40+ self-service tools covering intake, contracts, and FAQs. Josef is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant, making it enterprise-ready for sensitive legal data. It targets in-house legal departments, large and small law firms, legal aid organizations, and universities seeking to scale legal support without scaling headcount.
