Background
Gimpel Private Markets is an AIFM and general partner headquartered in Luxembourg, with a branch in Germany. The firm manages around €20 billion in assets across private equity, debt, infrastructure, renewables, and real estate, with a team of sixty people.
As a regulated entity, Gimpel isn't chasing an "AI-first" label, but leadership sees AI as inevitable and wants to be ahead of it. Private markets work is paper-based, complex, and hard to standardize: every transaction and investment brings its own documentation, cross-border considerations, and tight deadlines. That complexity made it difficult to scale the business without adding more standardized tools and processes.
Opportunity
Gimpel Private Markets began implementing LEGALFLY for its legal and company secretary team, looking for a way to manage daily legal work without losing time to repetitive, non-standardized tasks. The results were visible enough that other departments took notice: the investment management and fund management teams asked to evaluate LEGALFLY themselves, and have since adopted it too.
Solution
Legal research is a core use case. Based in Luxembourg, Gimpel Private Markets regularly deals with cross-border structures where investors, clients, or the underlying investments span European, US, or Asian jurisdictions. LEGALFLY gives the team a reliable way to run checks on contracts and deal documentation across these jurisdictions with confidence.
Document drafting is the second major use case. Previously, a new document for a specific deal or service meant going to an external law firm. Now the team can generate a draft directly in LEGALFLY, which has been especially valuable under tight turnaround times.
Gimpel Private Markets evaluated all the major legal AI solutions on the market before choosing LEGALFLY. As a regulated company, a European-first platform was non-negotiable: LEGALFLY brings native knowledge of European law, the right legal sources, and compliance with European data protection regulation. The fact that governments and supranational institutions also use LEGALFLY gave the team additional confidence in the choice.
Results
For the first time, Gimpel's legal team has a path to scale and standardize a business that is inherently paper-based and complex. Legal research and drafting that used to consume significant time now moves faster, freeing lawyers to focus on the work they're trained for.
Faster legal research
Cross-border checks on contracts and deal documentation across European, US, and Asian jurisdictions, done with greater certainty and speed.
