I am thrilled to share, that we have signed an agreement to be acquired by Septeo, a leading French software company that provides modern technology solutions for the legal, accounting, real estate, human resources and education sectors. This agreement marks a milestone in stp.one’s history and lays the foundation for one of Europe’s largest Legal Tech providers. Together, Septeo and stp.one pursue the goal of supporting legal professionals throughout Europe in simplifying their everyday lives through innovative and reliable solutions. stp.one will continue to operate under its existing product brands after the acquisition, but will benefit from Septeo's scale, network and innovative strength – especially in the development of cloud-based and AI-powered solutions.
On our mission to become the pan-European Legal Tech Leader
Since the formation of the new stp.one in 2022, we identified an opportunity to change how legal work works with our technology platform and to simplify legal work for any legal professional. 3,5 years later we have built a multi-vertical, scalable AI and SaaS Legal Tech Platform with more than 400 people and that is trusted by more 8.000 customers daily and has become the undisputed market leader in the DACH region.
Our primary objective has always been to build the leading AI-based pan-European Legal Tech Software platform. Through this partnership with Septeo, we are now positioned as the largest Legal Tech Software platform provider in Europe, supported by the industry’s most substantial R&D and innovation budget. In today’s evolving landscape where AI is rewriting the Legal playbook, we believe size and organisational scale is crucial in delivering reliable, high-quality AI tools for legal professionals.
Our new Partner Septeo
Our future partner Septeo is a leading software provider in Europe with 3.200 employees and a major player in the tech industry, delivering innovative solutions that empower professionals and accelerate digital transformation. Serving more than 250,000 professionals across core sectors — including Legal, Accounting, Real Estate, Human Resources, Hospitality, and Education — like stp.one, Septeo places artificial intelligence at the heart of its strategy to drive innovation and enhance client performance.
Headquartered in Montpellier, France, Septeo invests €80 million annually in R&D, with a strong focus on AI. The group operates across Europe and will achieve c.€460 million in revenue in 2025. More info at: septeo.com
Stronger together
This strategic acquisition is transformational for Septeo and stp.one: it is a real opportunity to jointly build a pan-European champion in Legal-Tech and AI, to offer our legal professional clients even more innovative and high-performing solutions.
As the CEO of stp.one I am grateful and I couldn’t be prouder of all the hard work from the stp.one team and the amazing support we have received from our customers and partners over the years. This future collaboration with Septeo is a result of our joint successful work and marks a significant milestone and achievement on our growth journey.
By merging with Septeo, we will further accelerate our growth journey to provide our customers and partners with even more innovative solutions for their legal work.
Sincerely,
Oliver Bendig – CEO stp.one
