Flank

What began in 2017 as Legal OS, a no-code legal automation platform for mid-market law firms, has evolved into Flank, a pioneering force in the enterprise AI landscape. Founded in Berlin by Lilian Breidenbach, Charlotte Kufus, and Jake Jones, the company initially set out to make legal knowledge more accessible through document automation and rules-based processes. However, as the team observed the rapid advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs), they recognized a transformative opportunity to move beyond simple assistance and into the realm of true autonomy.

In a strategic pivot that redefined their mission, the company rebranded to Flank, shifting its focus from law firms to in-house enterprise teams. Today, Flank is an AI-native agentic automation platform that empowers expert teams—including legal, compliance, and information security—to deploy specialized AI agents. These autonomous colleagues live within the tools commercial teams already use, such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Outlook, resolving routine requests 24/7 without human intervention. By automating high-volume tasks like NDA reviews and compliance questionnaires, Flank enables human experts to escape the 'busywork' trap and focus on high-value strategic initiatives, effectively creating an organization without bottlenecks.
