Author Pascal Di Prima
Pascal Di Prima is CEO and Co-founder of Lexemo, where he leads the company's mission to bring no-code legal process automation to law firms, in-house legal teams, and tax advisors across the DACH region. As the driving force behind e!, he works at the intersection of legal practice and technology every day, turning hands-on experience from real client work into a platform that legal professionals can genuinely use.
Pascal is a German-qualified lawyer with an LL.M. from UNSW Sydney. Before founding Lexemo, he was a Partner at Simmons & Simmons and Counsel at Clifford Chance, advising major European financial institutions on EU banking regulation. He frequently delivers AI workshops held at law firms, legal departments, and universities on AI and its practical use for lawyers — and that combination of deep legal expertise and hands-on teaching shapes how he approaches automation: as a legal operations challenge rather than a technology project.
Pascal writes the Insights from Pascal newsletter, which gives legal teams one concrete automation workflow with each edition. On the Lexemo blog, he covers the practical realities of legal automation: how workflows get built, what keeps them reliable in day-to-day legal practice, and where AI genuinely moves the needle for lawyers and legal ops teams.
