Malta’s tech scene continues to evolve. The latest addition? Legal tech – an area that’s been largely untapped locally until now.

‎

ligi.ai, a Malta-based startup, has launched what it claims is the country’s first AI-powered legal research platform.

‎

Lawyers spend hours searching for the right information across multiple sources. Even then, results might not be accurate or exhaustive. Malta’s legal materials are scattered across portals that require very specific keyword searches. Miss the exact term, miss the case.

‎

What ligi.ai Actually Does

The platform uses natural language processing – you can ask questions the way you’d normally speak. “Find cases dealing with the restoration of a dissolved company because it had pending legal proceedings.” Filter by date, judiciary, or court. The system searches Malta’s case law database and returns ranked results. Each links directly to the original judgment.

‎

But here’s what sets it apart: it doesn’t just dump search results. It summarises and curates them in a format designed for legal professionals – delivering case summaries and key facts in a uniform structure. Think of it as having a research assistant who’s already read every case in Malta’s legal history.

‎

Built Specifically For Malta

International legal tech platforms aren’t built with Malta’s information or system in mind. ligi.ai was developed working directly with local law firms.

‎

One concern the team addressed: AI hallucinations. There have been instances where fake cases were cited in court, both in Malta and abroad. Not ideal when your professional reputation is on the line. ligi.ai only searches actual documents in its database. Every case citation is verifiable against official sources.

‎

In an industry built on trust and traditional methods, ligi.ai represents a shift in how local lawyers approach research. Malta’s legal professionals now have a new tool designed specifically for them.
