Recognising real-world adoption and impact
Over the past year, Kalisa has grown to more than 25,000 licensed users, working with a range of professional services and higher education clients, including Kingsley Napley, The University of Law, Lex Mundi and Legal Action Group.
These organisations are using Kalisa to make their knowledge and expertise more accessible, support internal teams and create AI-powered experiences for their clients and wider communities.
Kalisa enables organisations to build these AI-powered experiences around their own knowledge, processes and standards, while retaining control over their data, intellectual property and how AI is used.
An important milestone for Kalisa and its team
The award marks a significant milestone for Kalisa, recognising the progress of a growing team committed to making secure, reliable AI accessible to organisations where privacy, professional expertise and trust are essential.
Commenting on the award, Adam Roney, Founder and CEO of Kalisa, said:
"When I founded Kalisa, I had a clear vision: AI should strengthen human expertise, not replace it. Organisations and professionals should be able to protect their knowledge, retain control of their intellectual property and use AI to create new value from their expertise. This is our North Star and it drives everything we do.
"To receive this recognition alongside some of the most respected names in legal technology is a fantastic moment for Kalisa and everyone involved in our journey."
Chara Kalemaki, Marketing and Operations Manager at Kalisa, reflected on the experience:
"Being recognised in a room full of extraordinary people and organisations was a moment I will never forget. Building a start-up brings both challenges and opportunities, so seeing our team celebrated in this way meant a great deal to me.
"I see the care and dedication that everyone puts into Kalisa every day, and I am immensely proud of what we have achieved together. I am equally grateful to our clients, who have trusted us, supported us and with whom we have built relationships I genuinely value. It is these relationships that make a win like this so special."
Kalisa extends its thanks to Law.com, Legal Geek and the judging panel for this recognition, and to its team, clients and partners for their continued trust and support.
