Scissero Seeks Weil Assets and Lawyers

Scissero, an AI-enabled law firm, says it has formally expressed interest in acquiring certain technology, intellectual property and data assets from Weil, Gotshal & Manges as the New York firm heads toward dissolution. Scissero is also interested in hiring Weil lawyers and is already in discussions with several of them. Any decision to join Scissero rests with the individual lawyers.

Scissero founder and CEO Mathias Strasser says the firm has the financial resources and operational capacity to move quickly. Its proposed asset purchase includes DealVision 360, Weil’s broader proprietary technology, knowledge management systems and transactional data. Scissero says it would welcome discussions with Weil’s advisers about which assets and rights could be transferred.

Strasser says Scissero has spoken with a handful of private equity firms interested in backing a substantial transactional practice built around Weil lawyers. He described the firm’s interest as part of its ambition to combine legal talent, proprietary technology and AI-driven business models. Scissero previously acquired Robin AI’s managed services business in December 2025, which it says it successfully turned around.

Scissero says its own proprietary database contains contractual clauses, market practices, negotiation playbooks and strategies drawn from more than a decade of contract negotiations for leading private equity firms. Strasser says combining those resources with Weil’s technology and data could accelerate Scissero’s autonomous drafting and negotiation capabilities.

On client information, Strasser says Scissero distinguishes proprietary know-how and aggregated market-practice information from confidential client documents. He says each category would require separate assessment, safeguards and any necessary client consent, and that Scissero seeks lawful use of Weil’s accumulated knowledge and data rather than unrestricted access to confidential client information.
