Automating legal workflows end to end
Safahat.ai brings together enforcement proceedings, litigation processes and contract management on a single AI platform. The platform enables the automation of high-volume legal operations, including bulk case file management and petition generation from the opening of enforcement proceedings through to the seizure stage, as well as case file analysis, process tracking, contract generation, review and risk analysis. Built on an AI infrastructure specifically adapted to Turkish law and Turkish legal language, Safahat.ai can be deployed on companies’ own infrastructure through an on-premises operating model designed to meet institutions’ data security needs. This structure allows legal data to be processed without leaving the institution — particularly important for banks, financial institutions and heavily regulated sectors — while enabling legal professionals to focus on areas requiring legal reasoning, oversight and decision-making rather than repetitive operational tasks.
AI supports not just content generation but business processes too
One of the areas where Safahat.ai stands out is its use of AI not only for content generation, but also for processes such as file classification, prioritization and work allocation.
Among the platform’s key capabilities are:
Bulk case file management and automation in enforcement proceedings, Case file analysis, petition drafting and process tracking, Contract generation, review and risk analysis, AI-powered file classification and prioritization, Support for work allocation and operational decision-making processes, Two-way integration with in-house systems, An on-premises operating model in which data does not leave the institution.
Hasan Sami Bayansar: “We believe Safahat.ai carries significant growth potential”
Insha Ventures General Manager Hasan Sami Bayansar commented on the investment:
“One of the most important needs of legal teams today is managing their growing workload more efficiently. Particularly with high-volume case files, data security and proper process management matter just as much as speed. We find it valuable that Safahat.ai addresses this need with technology it has developed specifically for Turkish law and the Turkish legal language. As Insha Ventures, through our investment in Safahat.ai via Insha GSYF, we aim to play a strategic role in its fintech transformation, leading the development of next-generation financial services with our experience and capabilities in the fintech space.”
Ahmet Necip Arslan: “With this investment, we aim to launch the digital transformation of the legal world from Türkiye and carry it to a global standard”
Safahat.ai Founder Ahmet Necip Arslan said:
“At Safahat, we are developing an AI-based platform that enables end-to-end automation of legal processes. By bringing together enforcement proceedings, litigation processes and contract management within a single ecosystem, we aim to significantly reduce the operational burden on banks, law firms, public institutions and our corporate clients. What sets us apart is our AI infrastructure, built on Turkish legislation and case law, which produces hallucination-free, verifiable outputs, along with our on-premises deployment model that meets our clients’ data security needs. We are developing the same technology for the UK market and continuing our efforts targeting Gulf countries. With the strategic investment and technology support of CoFunds Girişim Sermayesi Yatırım Fonu and Insha GSYF, we aim to rapidly bring the technology we have developed in Türkiye to global markets, representing our country in the best possible way on the world stage of AI and legal technology.”
