From global expansion to a bevy of new product features, hundreds of thousands of legal problems solved, a handsome raise and even a well-earned retreat in the tropics, Josef has enjoyed quite the year.
For our CEO Tom Dreyfus, 2022 was the tipping point.
“From our launch in the US to the expansion of our team’s global footprint, this has been a year of extraordinary growth for Josef. Everyday, our customers create more and more value with our platform, discovering new ways to use automation to deliver the legal help that their clients need.”
“We are closer than ever to realising our vision of an automation workbench for every lawyer in the world and look forward to the opportunities that await in 2023.”

For our COO Sam Flynn, the impact of the platform–and the team behind it–serve as regular reminders that we’re on the right track.
“Josef has helped hundreds of thousands of people to solve legal issues over the past 12 months. Nothing makes us more excited than seeing Josef bots in the wild solving real problems for real people.
Josef makes such an impact because of our unique approach to no-code automation: our product and our team centres the user like no other. We’re obsessed with transforming the legal industry and making legal services accessible for all, and 2022 was no exception.”
