vLex and Fastcase, two major companies in legal technology, have officially merged to form vLex Group. With support from Oakley Capital and Bain Capital Credit, the new group now offers access to over one billion legal documents from more than 100 countries, making it the world’s largest global law library.
This merger combines vLex’s international legal content with Fastcase’s strong U.S. presence and partnerships with state bar associations. Combined, they now reach almost the entire U.S. legal market while broadening their multilingual capabilities and expanding coverage to legal systems across Europe, Latin America, and other global regions.
A key strength of the union is its focus on AI-driven legal research. vLex’s “Vincent” assistant and Fastcase’s Docket Alarm are being integrated to power new tools for faster and smarter legal analysis. This joint data and AI foundation gives vLex Group a strategic edge in developing legal applications using LLMs, or large language models.
While the brands remain, vLex globally and Fastcase in the U.S., the companies now operate under one vision. With offices in Washington D.C., Miami, and Barcelona, and leadership from both companies, the merger is positioned as a move to shape the future of legal tech.
