Lightspeed is live

Lightspeed is a complete rebuild of two core parts of the Moonlit platform: Workspaces and Monitors. Both are now faster, smarter and designed around how legal professionals actually work.

  • Workspaces let you organize your legal research the way you think. Group documents by case, topic or jurisdiction. Pin what matters. Work with your team in real time with no version conflicts.


  • Monitors track changes across legislation and case law automatically. The system refreshes daily, keeping a rolling 30-day window that is always fresh and pre-processed. You define what you care about once. The platform keeps you current continuously. When you spot something that needs deeper attention, move it into a workspace with one click.

The result is more than 25x faster across the board. Workspace loads now happen in seconds. The platform scans more than 13 million documents. Monitors refresh daily. Whether you are tracking regulatory developments across the EU or keeping tabs on case law in a specific jurisdiction, Lightspeed makes it all feel instant.

Win an iPad every month by contributing enrichments

We believe the future of law is built on high-quality data and we want you to help us shape it.

Starting this month, we are giving away an iPad to the contributor who submits the most valid enrichment suggestions each month. Enrichments are things like document nicknames, alternative titles and metadata corrections that make Moonlit's legal data more useful for everyone.


How to participate:

  1. Log into the Moonlit platform

  2. Open any document and look for the suggestion button

  3. Submit meaningful data enrichment suggestions


The person who submits the most enrichments each month walks away with a new iPad. Your expertise, rewarded.

Tips: get more out of enrichments with Lightspeed

The new Workspaces are the perfect companion for enrichment work. Create a dedicated workspace for the documents you are enriching, pin the ones you are working on and use Monitors to track when new documents appear in your area of expertise.


If you spot a document that is commonly known by a nickname in practice (think "GDPR" instead of "Regulation (EU) 2016/679"), suggest it as an enrichment. These small additions have an outsized impact on search quality for everyone on the platform.

Moonlit at LegalGeek Amsterdam

We had a great day at LegalGeek Europe on April 14 in Amsterdam. Conversations about legal data, AI and the future of the industry were in full swing. We also caught up with the team at Saga, our API integration partner.


Next up: we will be at FutureLaw 2026 in Tallinn on May 14-15. FutureLaw is one of Northern Europe's largest legal innovation conferences and brings together 500 attendees to discuss the future of the legal industry. Come say hi if you are there.
