Legal tech and professional services platform Legalpioneer—a free database of containing information on legal tech and other companies—has been transferred over to GitHub.

Raymond Blijd, the founder of Legalpioneer and Legalcomplex, told Legaltech News that the transition came in response to the legal industry's growing interest in AI technologies, and as an effort to increase transparency within the legal tech industry.

As a part of its shift over to GitHub, the Legalpioneer dataset, comprising 13,000 companies pertinent to the legal, tax and professional services sector, will move over to the open-source platform. This dataset, now available under the Open Database License (ODbl) on GitHub, is meant to offer resources for students, researchers, entrepreneurs, and legal professionals who might want to stay abreast of the legal services industry.
