Hogan Lovells' ELTEMATE wins Legal Tech category at the PMN Management Awards 2025

Launched in 2023, ELTEMATE now has nearly 100 employees and more than 4,400 active users worldwide. Its flagship AI platform, CRAIG, is transforming day-to-day legal work by delivering over 50 percent time savings on core tasks such as drafting, analysis, and document review. From creating fact chronologies up to ten times faster in life sciences litigation, to filtering 90 percent of irrelevant content in regulatory matters, to accelerating investigations and patent disputes, CRAIG is enabling lawyers to focus on higher-value strategic work while helping clients reduce costs.

The panel of judges remarked: “Some law firms write briefs. Others make history with sensational cases. And then there are those who write entire future scenarios – like Hogan Lovells. With ELTEMATE, Hogan Lovells has created a globally successful tech venture that is poised to further expand its digital edge.”

Miguel Zaldivar, CEO of Hogan Lovells, commented:  “This recognition reflects both our commitment to innovation and our leading role in redefining how technology supports the delivery of legal services. AI is fully integrated into our strategic priorities, and ELTEMATE is a clear example of how we are harnessing technology to provide smarter, faster, and more efficient solutions for our clients. Our aim is to ensure our lawyers can anticipate client needs, adapt to a rapidly evolving business environment, and continue to deliver exceptional legal advice to multinationals across the G20 economies." 

Sebastian Lach, partner at Hogan Lovells and Co-CEO of ELTEMATE, commented: “Winning the PMN Management Award is an important recognition of what we’ve built with ELTEMATE. Our aim has always been to combine world-class legal expertise with cutting-edge technology to create solutions that truly transform the way legal work is done. This award shows we are on the right path - and it motivates us to keep pushing the boundaries of what legal tech can achieve.”

In addition to receiving the award, Hogan Lovells is proud to support this year’s PMN Management Awards charity partner, Kopfsachen e.V., an initiative dedicated to promoting the mental health of young people.

Since 2009, the PMN Management Awards have recognised innovations in management and business services from law firms.
