In June 2024, Law&Company signed an exclusive content supply agreement with Park Youngsa to upgrade legal AI performance, securing access to 1,350 types of legal content, amounting to 1 million pages, published by Park Youngsa. This attracted considerable attention within the industry.


Both companies deeply recognize the importance of high-quality legal data for the advancement of legal AI. Through this exclusive supply agreement, they have pledged to cooperate on a long-term basis to strengthen the competitiveness of legal AI technology and enhance service performance.


Founded in 1952, Park Youngsa is an academic publishing company that has led the Korean legal book publishing sector for 74 years. The company has published numerous acclaimed legal books, including the "Civil Law Commentary Series" and the "Criminal Law Commentary Series," and has recently been dedicated to popularizing legal AI technology by introducing a variety of legal literature tailored to the AI era.


Law&Company, which has demonstrated differentiated AI technology by launching legal AI service SuperLawyer and AI-based integrated legal information service BigCase, is currently utilizing nearly 740 volumes of Park Youngsa's legal content for citation in SuperLawyer responses. In addition, it provides Park Youngsa's main commentaries through BigCase Plus, the premium subscription product of BigCase.


Going forward, the two companies plan to expand the range of available content based on a reinforced cooperative framework and to introduce various services that will drive innovation in legal practice.


Law&Company will first launch a subscription-based legal book library on BigCase this month. This service is expected to further enhance the work efficiency and information accessibility of legal professionals by providing highly reliable legal books, verified by experts, in a format optimized for legal practice.


Bonhwan Kim, CEO of Law&Company, stated, "High-quality data is an essential element for high-quality legal AI services. Law&Company has proactively responded to securing differentiated legal content by establishing a forward-looking partnership with Park Youngsa."


He added, "Based on the solid trust between our two companies, we will strive together toward the shared goal of 'growth and advancement of Korea's legal AI' for the next 10 years."



Jongman Ahn, Chairman of Park Youngsa, commented, "Through collaboration with Law&Company over the past two years, I have personally witnessed the high growth potential of the legal AI industry and the value of legal data. We will continue to focus on publishing high-quality books, and at the same time, lead innovative changes suited to the AI era to contribute to the development of the legal and legal tech industries."
