The bayshore story

bayshore was founded by Paul F. Welter, who first envisioned the company while serving as a Visiting Scholar at CodeX – The Stanford Center for Legal Informatics. Named after the iconic Bayshore Freeway running through Silicon Valley, bayshore embodies the drive to put organizations on the fast track to legal automation. It blends cutting-edge technology with European values of control, reliability, and compliance to automate legal tasks and transform organizations.

Paul, an attorney at law (admitted in Germany) and software developer, brings his experience in legal tech and digital transformation to lead bayshore in helping clients optimize their operations and stay competitive in the evolving legal landscape.

Previously, he was responsible for the automation of M&A processes in a major US law firm and developed the legal tech app privacy:hub, which supports organizations in the assessment of software updates. He is also involved in the German Society for Law and Informatics and recode.law, the leading young legal tech organization, which he co-founded.
