Lisse

Lisse, a Tokyo-based legal technology company, was established in June 2018 by Miki Fujita. Fujita, who also serves as the Representative Director and President, is a seasoned lawyer qualified in both Japan and New York. His nearly two-decade-long career, which included a partnership at Nishimura & Asahi, one of Japan's largest law firms, and a tenure at a New York law firm, provided him with the foundational expertise to launch Lisse. The company's mission is to foster smooth corporate activities with minimal disputes by embedding the knowledge of legal professionals into advanced technology.

The firm operates in the legal tech market, offering AI-powered solutions designed to support corporate legal departments and law firms. Its client base ranges from small and medium-sized enterprises to large corporations, with over 3,500 companies using its services as of February 2025. Lisse generates revenue through its suite of software-as-a-service products that aim to improve the efficiency and quality of legal work. The company has successfully raised significant capital to fuel its growth, with a cumulative total of approximately 2.86 billion JPY, including a Series B funding round that brought in 1.8 billion JPY.

Lisse’s flagship product is “LeCHECK,” an AI-driven contract review service launched in late 2020. The platform, supervised by over 30 lawyers, automatically analyzes contracts to identify potential risks, providing easy-to-understand explanations and suggested revisions. Key features include its capability to handle both Japanese and English contracts, with specialized review for international transactions, and continuous updates for the latest legal reforms. LeCHECK also offers a library of downloadable contract templates created by legal experts. Complementing this are “LeTRANSLATE,” a high-precision machine translation tool for legal documents, and “LeFILING,” a service for the automated management of contracts.
