Dutch Legal Tech Map

The Dutch legal tech ecosystem is growing rapidly, but an overview was missing. Together with Dutch Legal Tech, we created the first interactive map of all legal tech startups in the Netherlands. A living document that visualizes the dynamics of the sector and makes connections visible.

Overview

The Legal Tech Map visualizes the Dutch legal tech ecosystem.

A landscape in motion

Legal tech is profoundly changing the legal sector. From AI research tools to platforms that make legal services accessible to everyone. To visualize this ecosystem, we chose an organic form: moving blobs that represent the different areas. The soft shapes and fluid movements symbolize how boundaries between categories blur and companies continuously evolve.

We divided companies into five main categories: Research, Contract & Document Automation, Legal Workflow, Access to Justice, and Legal Process Outsourcing. Through the interactive design, users can zoom in on specific areas and discover connections between different players.

Besides the interactive map, we created a series of video interviews with founders, telling the story behind the innovations. These personal stories provide context to the visualization and show how entrepreneurs are transforming the legal sector.

The Legal Tech Map shows how mature the Dutch ecosystem has become. From contract automation to access to justice - we can be proud of our innovative legal tech sector.

Through the interactive visualization, we literally make the movement in the landscape visible. The blobs move like the sector itself: dynamic and with unexpected connections.
