In August 2022, in the first episode of the Focus #Legaltech program: produced in collaboration with Chambers.Legal and Startup Hukuku: our Managing Partner Erdem Mümtaz Hacıpaşaoğlu, as host, welcomed Erol Öz, General Manager of On İki Levha Yayıncılık and Lexpera.
The central thesis of the episode was clear: legal publishing in Turkey is being redefined not only by the quality of its content but also by its digitalization strategy, search infrastructure, and AI-assisted access layers, and Lexpera is one of the reference cases of this transformation.
The journey of On İki Levha and Lexpera
The transition from traditional academic publishing to Lexpera’s legal-information platform, the digitalization of content, citation indexing, and the design of case-law and legislation access formed the spine of the episode.
Turkey’s legaltech ecosystem
The conditions for legal publishing to become a legaltech product were examined through the lenses of user experience, pricing, and B2B distribution; the growth pathways open to the sector were also discussed.
Highlights from this episode
- Lexpera’s transformation: From publishing to platform engineering
- Distribution: Citations, search, case-law access
