Goldenhill advises Scissero on the Acquisition of the managed services team of Robin AI
Goldenhill International M&A Advisors today announced that it acted as exclusive M&A advisor to Scissero Ltd (“Scissero”) a global provider of AI-enabled legal services, in its acquisition of the managed services team of Robin AI, one of the UK’s leading legal AI platforms. The combination of the two firms will create a London-based legal tech powerhouse serving large, international clients, including globally renowned investment houses, and FTSE 100 and Fortune 500 firms. It will also boost Scissero’s client base to more than 100 companies.
The acquisition combines Scissero’s suite of AI-enabled legal services and deep domain knowledge across asset management and capital markets with Robin’s global footprint, international workforce and significant client base. Scissero’s AI technologies, particularly around markups for M&A ancillary documents such as NDAs, engagement letters, and non-reliance letters, slot directly into the services Robin AI provides, making this a natural “hand-in-glove” combination. Together, the two companies create a market-leading AI-enabled legal services provider with significant scale and capabilities.
This development comes at a time when in-house legal teams are facing mounting pressure to do more with less, streamline legal operations and adopt AI-driven solutions that provide differentiated value and deliver measurable efficiency gains. The combined strengths of both companies will give in-house legal teams enhanced capacity, deeper expertise, and access to an expanded portfolio of services ranging from high-volume contract support to more complex legal matters delivered within an AI-enabled, globally scalable framework.
This acquisition marks a major step in Scissero’s strategy to redefine how legal work is delivered, combining agentic AI with regulated legal expertise to create faster, more consistent and more cost-effective outcomes for clients.
Robin’s managed service clients will transition to Scissero, with no interruption to their service, and gain access to a significantly expanded suite of tech-enabled legal solutions.
Mathias Strasser, CEO of Scissero, commented: “We are thrilled to welcome Robin’s exceptional managed services team and clients to the Scissero family. Robin has built a global reputation for quality, speed and care, and these values strongly align with our own, making the team a perfect fit.
“The AI-enabled legal services market is entering a period of meaningful consolidation, and the UK is exceptionally well placed to lead the next wave of innovation in AI and legal technology. We are proud to be taking an early, proactive role in shaping this evolution, bringing together best-in-class talent, advanced technology and scalable delivery.
“Together, we are uniquely positioned to offer an expanded suite of technology-enabled legal services, supported by strong, vertically integrated AI technology, a global footprint and an unwavering commitment to client service. As an entrepreneur, lawyer and technologist, I am excited to push our strategy forward with a continued focus on delivering outstanding service to in-house legal teams around the world.”
Commenting on the value of Goldenhill’s role in the process, Mathias Strasser, CEO of Scissero said:
“Goldenhill’s experienced, Technology savvy advisors worked closely with us throughout the transaction process to help navigate and secure a successful outcome.”
Chris Brooke, M&A Partner at Goldenhill said:
“We worked closely with Mathias and his team throughout the process, and we’re delighted that our combined efforts have resulted in a successful transaction for all parties involved.”
