Duely

Duely is a Belgian startup that provides AI-native legal services specifically for mergers and acquisitions (M&A) transactions. Originally founded as an API-first technology company, Duely developed AI capabilities for virtual data rooms to automate and streamline document-intensive tasks in M&A processes. In early 2026, the company expanded to directly deliver legal services, combining its AI technology with legal expertise to support activities like data room preparation, legal due diligence, and transaction document review. Duely aims to increase efficiency in the M&A process and expand its presence in the European M&A ecosystem by applying its technology directly to service delivery rather than licensing it to law firms.
