vLex is a legal intelligence platform that combines one of the world's largest databases of legal and regulatory content (case law, statutes, and commentary from 110+ countries) with an AI legal research assistant called Vincent AI, serving over 2 million legal professionals. Founded in Barcelona in 2000 by brothers Lluís and Angel Faus, it grew through acquisitions of Justis Publishing (2019) and US legal research company Fastcase (2023), backed by European private equity firm Oakley Capital from 2022. In 2025 vLex was acquired by Canadian legal practice-management leader Clio for approximately $1 billion, making it Barcelona's newest unicorn exit; it now operates as part of Clio with hubs in Barcelona, Miami and London.
