As conversations around AI and justice continue to evolve, one thing is becoming clear—innovation in legal tech is no longer confined to theory. It is being built, tested, and deployed in real time.
As part of the Five-Day Hands-on Workshop on Semantic Intelligence: AI-Powered Justice (NyAI) at NIT Kurukshetra, the Indian LegalTech Network (ILTN), in collaboration with the university, hosted a LegalTech Startup Showcase—bringing together some of the most promising innovators in the space.
Bridging Innovation and Practice
The session was designed to do more than just present ideas.
It offered a closer look at how startups across India are approaching real challenges in legal workflows—from dispute resolution and mediation to document automation and access to justice.
The participating startups—Setu, Webnyay AI, Mohit Mokal Mediation, My-Legacy.ai, and KuKi Solutions—each brought a distinct perspective, reflecting the diversity of problems LegalTech is trying to solve.
What the Showcase Highlighted
Across presentations and discussions, a few clear patterns emerged:
AI is moving into core legal workflows, not just peripheral tools
Access to justice remains a key driver, especially for early-stage innovation
Specialised solutions are gaining traction, tailored to specific legal use cases rather than generic platforms
Interdisciplinary thinking is essential, combining legal expertise with technology and design
The session reinforced that LegalTech is not a single category—it is an evolving ecosystem of solutions responding to varied and complex needs.
Who This Was For
The showcase brought together a diverse audience—legal professionals, technologists, students, and researchers—each engaging with the conversation from a different vantage point.
This mix of perspectives created a space not just for learning, but for dialogue—where questions around feasibility, scalability, and real-world impact could be explored openly.
The Bigger Picture
Events like these signal an important shift.
Legal innovation is no longer limited to established institutions or large firms. Startups, academic spaces, and collaborative platforms are increasingly shaping how legal services are imagined and delivered.
The role of forums like ILTN is to bring these conversations together—connecting builders, users, and thinkers in a shared space.
Looking Ahead
The LegalTech Startup Showcase was more than a session—it was a glimpse into where the future of legal practice is heading.
As AI and technology continue to reshape the legal landscape, the focus remains on one question:
How do we build systems that are not just efficient but meaningful, accessible, and grounded in real-world needs?
