Enabling Fast, Simple and Open Access to Law.
At Lexum, we power the technology that legal institutions rely on to manage, enrich, and publish legal information — helping them deliver fast, simple and open access to law.
Our Story
We began in the early 1990s as a research lab at the University of Montreal, driven by a shared belief that primary legal information should be freely accessible to all. In 1992, we broke new ground by launching the very first legal website to be developed in Canada to provide access to the Supreme Court of Canada decisions online at no cost. At the time there were only three other websites in the country. It was also the world’s first bilingual legal website.
In 2000, we partnered with the Federation of Law Societies of Canada (FLSC) to launch CanLII, our most widely known initiative and now the most-used legal research platform in the country.
Today, we support legal institutions around the world——helping them manage, enrich, and publish legal information at scale.
Our mission is simple yet powerful: leveraging top-tier technology to enable fast, simple and open access to law.
Our Leadership
Our leadership is rooted in experience and expertise. Several of our executives have been with us since our origins as a research lab at the University of Montreal, helping shape both our mission and technology from the ground up. Others joined along the way, bringing fresh expertise that helped us grow into a trusted legal tech firm.
