About
Legal technology from people who understand the work behind the technology.
DB LEGALTECH Solutions was founded by David Batt, a bilingual, New York-admitted attorney with more than 20 years of experience working at the intersection of law, technology and data.
David's experience includes work at Google in Silicon Valley, Baker McKenzie in Singapore and LegalSifter, alongside extensive projects involving contract data, e-discovery document review, legal technology, machine learning, annotation, search, data migration and AI-related workflows.
In 2017, he co-founded a legal process outsourcing company in Kolkata, India. For much of the past decade, his work has involved connecting legal content experts in the United States, annotation and machine-learning partners in India, and clients across the United Kingdom and the European Union.

A new professional photograph is being produced. The current headshot is available to build with; the final image will be dropped in here. Preference: natural, work-context imagery over a generic corporate headshot.
In the trenches.
DB LegalTech is grounded in hands-on project work: dealing with real documents, imperfect data, edge cases, user expectations and the practical constraints that determine whether a workflow works outside a demo. We focus on what teams need to get done, then help translate that into instructions, data structures, implementation steps and quality checks.
The work between the lawyer and the machine
A recurring lesson has shaped DB LegalTech: technology is only useful when it can understand and support the work people actually need to do.
Legal professionals understand the substance of the work. Technology teams understand the systems. Business users understand what they need to achieve. The difficult part is often translating among them — and then defining, testing and improving the process until it works reliably.
DB LEGALTECH combines senior specialist expertise with a growing network of experienced legal professionals in the European Union. This allows us to provide project leadership and flexible delivery capacity, depending on what the client needs.
