Doctrine, the European leader in legal AI, today announced the acquisition of Maite.ai, Spain’s leading legal AI platform. This acquisition, Doctrine’s fifth in three years, marks the company’s entry into the Spanish market and brings its total customer base to 27,000 legal professionals across France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Luxembourg.
Building a sovereign European leader tailored to local legal specificities
Founded in 2024, Maite.ai has rapidly established itself as a category leader in Spain’s legal AI market. In 2025, the company increased ARR twentyfold and now serves more than 2,000 customers, including solo practitioners, large law firms, corporate legal departments and public administrations.
Maite.ai offers an advanced legal AI copilot that supports the full legal workflow by leveraging legislation and case law, as well as private documentation uploaded by users. Maite.ai’s technology has demonstrated exceptional accuracy, achieving a 99 percent success rate on the Spanish judiciary access exam.
This acquisition firmly establishes Doctrine’s presence in Spain and reinforces the company’s vision to build a European leader grounded in the legal specificities of each country. The rapid adoption of Doctrine’s solutions is driven by the company’s unique market position, combining deep expertise in local legal data (laws, regulations, commentary and case law) with the private data of legal professionals (contracts, pleadings) to support every stage of their work. Doctrine provides legal professionals with a legal AI based on European technological sovereignty that is fully compliant with GDPR and meets the highest information security standards, including ISO 27001.
Profitable organic growth accelerated by a proven M&A strategy
This transaction, Doctrine’s fifth in less than three years – including the acquisitions of Legaltile and Jobexit in 2023, and Dejure and Predictice in 2025 – further strengthens the company’s reach across Europe. Today, Doctrine serves 80 of France’s top 100 law firms and supports clients across the private and public sectors, and the company is extending that leadership into Germany, Italy, Spain and Luxembourg.
Guillaume Carrère, CEO of Doctrine, said:
“By integrating Maite.ai, we are consolidating our position as the European leader in legal AI. As the global AI market rapidly takes shape, our ambitions continue to focus on building a trusted European leader grounded in technological sovereignty. We are delighted to welcome Maite.ai to the Doctrine team. 2025 was our strongest growth year to date, and this acquisition further accelerates our trajectory.”
Alejandro Castellano, CEO of Maite.ai, said:
“Joining Doctrine gives us the scale and stability necessary to sustainably consolidate our leadership in Spain. By combining our technology with that of the European leader, we can offer our clients an even more robust solution, backed by ten years of industry expertise. This new chapter deeply respects our identity: Maite.ai will retain its brand, headquarters and team.”
Maite.ai’s team will continue to lead the Spanish market, with significant hiring planned to support continued growth. The platform will benefit from significant synergies with Doctrine’s ten years of expertise in artificial intelligence. This expansion positions Doctrine to serve the needs of more than one million lawyers and legal professionals across its markets, opening up major growth opportunities across Europe.
