Our Story
Legal Recorder was founded in 2023 by a team that witnessed firsthand the challenges legal professionals face with documentation. We saw lawyers spending countless hours transcribing recordings manually, struggling with generic tools that didn't understand legal terminology, and worrying about the security of their client data.
We knew there had to be a better way. So we built Legal Recorder from the ground up with three core principles: accuracy that legal professionals can rely on, security that meets the strictest standards, and simplicity that lets you focus on your clients.
In March 2024, we launched Legal Recorder in Brussels. Today, we're proud to serve hundreds of legal professionals across Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and France.
"We saw brilliant lawyers spending hours on transcription instead of practicing law. We knew there had to be a better way."
