Lex Machina, Inc. is a company that provides legal analytics to legal professionals. It began as an IP litigation research company[3] and is now a division of LexisNexis.[1] The company started as a project at Stanford University within the university's law school and computer science department before launching as a startup in Menlo Park, California.[4] Lex Machina provides a SaaS product to legal professionals to aid in their practice, research, and business.

History

Lex Machina initially began in 2006 as a public interest project at Stanford University by Professor Mark Lemley and co-founders George Gregory and Joshua Walker.[5] The project was developed within the university's law school and computer science department under the IP Litigation Clearinghouse (IPLC) project.[4] Lex Machina was incorporated in 2008 and launched the following year.[6][7] The name "Lex Machina" is a Latin phrase meaning "law machine" that Walker had used in a research paper he wrote in 2004. Walker was named the CEO of the company until venture capitalist Josh Becker took over in 2011.[2] In 2015 the company was acquired by LexisNexis.[1] Former CTO Karl Harris became CEO of Lex Machina in 2018. In 2024, Carla Rydholm became General Manager of Lex Machina.[citation needed]

Company developments

Lex Machina is based in Menlo Park, just north of Palo Alto and Stanford.[8] While still a public interest project at Stanford, Lex Machina generated approximately $3 million in donations.[5] In 2012, the company reportedly received $2 million in funding led by X/Seed Capital Management.[7] Lex Machina generated another $4.8 million in a Series A round of funding in 2013 led by Cue Ball Capital.[9] LexisNexis acquired Lex Machina in 2015.[10]
