Carsten Reimann is active as an entrepreneur, investor and mentor in the law and tech space. In 2026 he was appointed by the Kingdom of Cambodia’s Minister of Labour and Vocational Training as official Representative for skilled-labour mobility, vocational training, German-language assessment and apprenticeship (Ausbildung) programmes between Cambodia, Germany and the EU.

Dr. Reimann holds a doctorate degree in Public International Law, a postgraduate degree from the University of Edinburgh and a degree in General Management from St Gallen University. He also is a classically-trained church musician. After positions as a lawyer in a Magic Circle firm and various in-house roles in the automotive industry, Carsten went into legal recruitment and headhunting, building what is today called an alternative legal service provider. He founded the first German lawyer-on-demand service and law company Xenion Legal in 2011. After managing and developing the firm for almost 10 years, he sold his shares to a strategic investor.

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.
