Moonlit.ai, a cross-border legal research and monitoring platform, is spun out from Deloitte

Developed as an internal tool within Deloitte, Moonlit offers a comprehensive AI-driven legal research platform that continuously monitors legal activities across EU member states.


By leveraging artificial intelligence, the Moonlit platform enables users to search seamlessly across multiple countries and languages, with each document delivering instant translations, summaries, and insights. This marks Moonlit’s transition to an independent company, poised to accelerate its expansion and revolutionize legal research across Europe. Its technology makes cross-border legal research more efficient. This spin out makes it accessible for all legal professionals across Europe.

More accessible legal research

Founded by Roderick Lucas, an expert in AI and data science with experience at Deloitte NL and academic roles at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and Tilburg University, and Dirk-Jan van den Broek, a lawyer who brings over two decades of experience in the legal sector, including founding and leading ClaimShare, Moonlit is designed with one goal in mind: to make European legal research more accessible, efficient and powerful.

Dirk-Jan van den Broek explained why Moonlit offers a different approach to legal research in Europe: “In an increasingly interconnected Europe, where legal precedents from one country can significantly influence decisions in another, this tool is indispensable.”

VC boost

The investment from Curiosity VC will boost Moonlit’s growth plans and fuel enhancements in AI capabilities for even better search accuracy and insight generation, expand coverage of European jurisdictions, grow the team of legal and tech experts, and accelerate go-to-market efforts across Europe, with an initial focus on Germany and the Benelux countries.

Moonlit’s platform is already being used and trusted by leading law firms and corporate legal departments across Europe.

Moonlit’s mission extends beyond streamlining legal research. According to its founders, the company is dedicated to substantially increasing transparency and access to justice, working towards shaping a world that is fairer and more just for all.
