Software solutions, expert information, healthcare, legal, accounting, tax, finance, and risk management solution provider Wolter Kluwer and Regulatory has acquired artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) solution provider Della AI Ltd. This technology enables legal practitioners to evaluate contracts in many languages by asking questions. Della AI will join Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory\’s Legal Software division, which provides industry-leading LegalTech products including Legisway, an all-in-one program for departments of corporate law, and Kleos, cloud-based software for law firms.
The CEO of Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory Legal Software, Giulietta Lemmi explains, “By integrating the expertise and know-how of Della AI into Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory, we are further enhancing the value we deliver to our customers, by investing in the continuous development of this key technology and the people behind it. Today, our customers already acknowledge the value of Legisway in all their legal activities. Together with Della AI, we will further enhance our customers’ experience and secure a leading position for Wolters Kluwer in the corporate legal market.”
Della AI, a 2018 startup with headquarters in Paris and London and 16 people on staff, was formed. By promptly responding to inquiries concerning their legal documents, the business assists legal departments and law firms with contract review. The other focus of AI solutions is on clause detection. The system must have the ability to recognize certain phrases as well as determine whether or not each of their separate requirements is acceptable to the client. Clients can ask queries using their terms thanks to AI solutions. When they query Della, she may respond with a straightforward \”Yes\” or \”No\”, raising potential concerns about their inquiry. Della learns to comprehend questions and their accompanying responses rather than precise language patterns. The platform keeps getting better, ensuring that everyone uses it safely and securely.
Within three to five years, Wolters Kluwer anticipates that the investment will generate a return on invested capital (ROIC) that is higher than its weighted cost of capital (8%) and that the transaction\’s effect on adjusted earnings will be minimal.

Every day, we assist our customers in making important decisions by offering professional solutions that incorporate in-depth topic expertise with specialized technology and services.
