SmallClaims – turning unpaid invoices into won court cases
Every year, European businesses write off billions in valid, winnable claims. Not because they would lose in court, but because pursuing a €3,000 invoice with lawyers and court fees costs more than the claim is worth. The court system was built for a time when a lawyer handled every case. That works for a €1M dispute. It does not work for a 15,000 DKK invoice.
SmallClaims fixes that. We are a Copenhagen-based legal tech company that recovers small, valid claims of up to €25,000 through the courts. Our AI agents run the whole process, from legal assessment and settlement to filing, judgment and enforcement, while our in-house lawyers quality-assure the work and appear in court when needed. Manual case handling has dropped from over 15 hours to about 1.5 hours per case, which makes claims that were once uneconomic worth pursuing again.
Today we have handled 5,000+ cases, win 90%+ of our court cases and serve 500+ customers in Denmark, from businesses with many outstanding invoices to debt collection agencies and law firms. Case intake has grown more than 370% since 2023. In 2026 we raised a €2M seed round led by Vendep Capital to expand into more European markets.
We are a small team of lawyers who build and engineers who litigate. If you want real ownership from day one and to help build the engine that gives every business access to justice, no matter the size of the claim, we would like to hear from you.
