Legal Helix

LegalHelix is a regtech provider based in Munich that digitally processes information on legal, regulatory and compliance-related obligations. The company sees itself as a global platform that interprets national, foreign and cross-border requirements in an accessible form, thereby covering the governance element of ESG.

The offering is provided as Software as a Service. Customers can use the web application “LEXSYS” or subscribe to the data feed “LEXDATA” in order to incorporate content directly into an existing compliance management system. In LEXSYS, relevant data can be specifically filtered and retrieved; in addition, automatic e-mail notifications for selected jurisdictions or topics are available. Data can be exported for further processing, for example to Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. The content is structured by jurisdiction, source and topic, making it possible to determine the relevant subset for a given company.

In terms of content, LegalHelix covers international regulation, including ESG, economic criminal law, corporate accountability and the liability of management personnel. Among other things, legislative procedures and consultations, regulation, case law, investigations, law enforcement statistics, as well as standards and norms are monitored. On request, additional regulatory authorities or further topic areas can be included in the monitoring scope, depending on the company’s industry.

The service is aimed in particular at internationally active companies that need to keep track of obligations across multiple jurisdictions. Data is collected locally by experts in the respective jurisdiction; the content then undergoes a quality review and is approved by an operational quality assurance team. A scientific advisory board accompanies this process. According to its own account, LegalHelix works with several levels of review to ensure the reliability of the information – a point the company deliberately distinguishes from purely generative AI systems. For the implementation of measures, LegalHelix refers to a network of international partners.
