INDIAN LEGAL
Al firms are entering a new phase of global recognition.Last week, in a defining moment for the sector, homegrown legal technology company CaseMine joined a group of 141 international AI leaders to have crossed OpenAl’s 10-billion token usage milestone — equivalent to processing more than 12 million pages of legal text.
The achievement highlights how deeply domestic legal-AI tools are being used within India’s legal system. The milestone comes amid rapid expansion of legal tech, with rising investments and experimentation in AI models built for Indian legal requirements.
According to Tracxn, India now hosts 954 legal-tech companies, including 87 funded ventures that have collectively raised around $800 million so far.
What do legal experts say
Legal experts say AI tools are increasingly relevant to India’s legal context, with local firms building products closely aligned with Indian jurisprudence. They note a surge in legal-tech startups — particularly Al-focused ones — and rising adoption within law firms.
Professor Ashish Bharadwaj, founding dean, BITS Law School, points to India’s structural constraints as a major catalyst for innovation.
