Legal professionals today face an unprecedented challenge: information overload. Every day, thousands of pages of new legislation, regulations, and case law flood the ecosystem. In 2024, Belgium’s Official Journal alone published over 140,000 pages. That’s nearly 400 pages per day. At the European level, the EUR-Lex database now holds over 3 million documents and grows by more than 12,000 each year. No advisor, no matter how experienced or diligent, can realistically keep up.
This growing complexity has significant consequences. Advisors are under pressure to deliver faster, sharper insights, while clients expect real-time clarity and strategic foresight. Yet the sheer volume of legal data makes this increasingly difficult. The result? Longer turnaround times, incomplete or outdated recommendations, and rising liability risks across Europe. Meanwhile, professionals within advisory firms find themselves spending more time on repetitive research and less on meaningful analysis, a paradox that drains both efficiency and engagement.
Creyten is a next-generation, AI-powered research assistant designed specifically for legal and tax advisors. It’s the result of a joint venture between Animo Law, a boutique tax law firm with decades of high-level advisory experience, and Acumen, a leading data consultancy specializing in data science and artificial intelligence. Together, we’ve created a tool that doesn’t just process legal data, but also meets the needs of a future-proof advisory practice.
At its core, Creyten leverages large language models (LLMs) to interpret and intelligently structure vast volumes of legal information. It combines public legal databases with client-specific private legal libraries. But Creyten goes beyond speed and scale. It’s designed to be transparent, verifiable, and secure. Every answer it provides is backed by source references, allowing advisors to trace the logic and validate the output. Confidentiality is built in, ensuring that legally privileged information remains protected.
Importantly, Creyten is not a replacement for human expertise. It’s a tool that enhances it. Strategic thinking, contextual judgment and creative problem-solving remain firmly in the hands of the advisor. Creyten simply clears the path by surfacing relevant insights and expanding the advisor’s perspective by connecting related and adjacent sources that might otherwise be overlooked. The result? Higher-quality advice, faster delivery, reduced liability risk and more fulfilling work for professionals.
Creyten is not a generic tool. It is specifically designed to amplify the legal and tax advisory process. Shaped by the day-to-day realities of professionals who understand what it means to deliver trusted advice under pressure, Creyten structures vast volumes of information, identifies trends and outlier cases, sharpens advisors’ creativity by including information on related topics from other fields of law and incorporates legal reasoning principles. While other platforms concentrate on legal collaboration, contract drafting, or making available information within a specific publisher’s ecosystem, our focus on enhancing advisory work through AI is what sets us apart. While legacy platforms concentrate on publishing and contract drafting tools, Creyten addresses the real-time needs of advisors navigating complex legal landscapes.
Creyten launches November 3rd, 2025, starting with Belgian fiscal law and rapidly expanding into EU-wide domains such as anti-money laundering, GDPR, ESG, competition, consumer protection, labor and energy law. Its architecture is built for scale, allowing seamless integration of both public and private databases across jurisdictions.
In a market where speed, accuracy and trust are more critical than ever, Creyten offers a bold new way forward. Legal reasoning, the way you're used to, now at the speed and scale of AI.
