Osborne Clarke advises the shareholders of Kodex AI GmbH on sale to CUBE

Osborne Clarke has advised the shareholders of Berlin-based Kodex AI GmbH on the sale to CUBE, a global leader in Automated Regulatory Intelligence (ARI) and Regulatory Change Management (RCM). The transaction creates the industry’s first unified platform for compliance, risk and agentic AI.

Kodex AI is regarded as a pioneer in agentic AI for compliance workflows. The company deploys specialised generative AI agents that identify relevant regulatory updates, analyse requirements precisely and initiate implementation measures - integrated into existing processes, delivering significant automation and tangible efficiency gains. According to the company, this enables regulatory tasks to be completed up to 95 per cent faster. Through integration into CUBE’s RegPlatform™, this co‑worker functionality - AI as a ‘digital colleague’ in compliance teams - will be immediately scaled and elevated onto CUBE’s comprehensive regulatory and risk data foundation.

Kodex AI was founded in 2022 in Berlin by Claus Lang and Thomas Kaiser. In 2024, the team was recognised by Meta as one of Europe’s leading AI start‑ups and, as part of Deutsche Bank’s Entrepreneur in Residence programme in 2023, developed a specialised large language model (LLM) for the analysis of financial documents - a testament to the technology’s precision and domain focus.

CUBE plans to integrate Kodex AI’s technology into its platform to detect, interpret and operationalise regulatory changes even faster. Customers will benefit from higher automation, lower costs and better, more transparent and traceable compliance. Details of the transaction were not disclosed.

“Combining Kodex AI’s technology leadership with CUBE’s market-leading regulatory and risk data is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to redefine the compliance and risk space,” said Thomas Kaiser.

The Osborne Clarke team was led by Maximilian Vocke and included Alexandra Nautsch and Anne Müller (all Corporate / Transactions), Ann‑Kristin Lochmann (Tax) as well as Anne Wittmann and Conrad Wandt (both Restructuring).
