Legalpreneur

Carsten is a lawyer turned entrepreneur and serial legal innovator. Back in 1992, while still at the University of Edinburgh, he built his first legal expert sys­tem after discussions with Professor Neil McCormick and Richard Susskind in jurisprudence class. In 2015 he created Europe’s first legal guidance system, the mother of legal chatbots and today’s agents.

In 2016, together with award-winning legal AI pioneer Professor Jochen Deister, Carsten started Lawyers on Fire podcast on innova­tion, passion and purpose, reporting on the highlights and interviewing leading figures from legal technology and legal design. The podcast has been relaunched as LOF NextGen in September 2025 on being a lawyer in the age of AI.

At his NewLaw company Xenion Legal, he spent about a decade adapting and fine-tuning the Anglo-American Lawyer-on-Demand model and the Finnish LDaaS (Legal Department as a Service) concept for the German market.

He is a father of three and likes spending time in Italy. When not with his family, you can find Carsten working on new ventures, meeting inspiring people or playing music. He loves co-creating and discussing new business ideas or concepts. Carsten also works on complex projects and transactions. He is admitted to the German bar and takes on international and pro bono cases. Professionals from the sports sector value his advice on business and legal matters.

As an alumnus of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation and the German Academic Scholarship Foundation, Carsten is committed to supporting the next generation of promising lawyers and entrepreneurs.

Designing legal services in the age of AI

Tradition meets technology. We support with no BS next-gen legal business design. In the last years, we have helped banks, governments and major corporates. We only take clients who are determined to innovate and stay relevant in 5-10 years.

Are you enthusiastic about law and AI? Would you be happy to develop and perhaps do something else if today's legal advisory services could be 95% automated or scaled? If any answer is yes, we should talk. If no, good luck with business as usual and try to retire soon.
