LegalTech Company Transforms Energy and Environment Sectors with AI

On May 8, 2025, LegalTech Co., headquartered in Tokyo and led by CEO Takahito Sasaki, announced a groundbreaking enhancement to its Virtual Data Room (VDR) service called "LegalTech VDR". This latest version integrates the company's proprietary AI technology, known as "AI Komei", specifically designed to cater to the needs of the energy and environment sectors.

3. Intellectual Property Data Utilization

By collaborating with Tokkyo.Ai, the AI can extract essential elements related to CO₂ reduction technologies and renewable energy facilities, conduct patent searches, and analyze portfolios—thereby strengthening IP strategies and visualizing technical advantages.

4. ESG and CSRD Document Compliance

The system can summarize sustainability reports and audit documentation while offering multilingual support, thereby improving efficiency in addressing global accountability requirements.
