This operation, carried out with the Bregal Unternehmerkapital fund (specialized in mid-cap), marks a decisive step in Septeo's growth strategy, as it aims to become a true European software champion. Its CEO, Hugues Galambrun, was recently named CEO of the Year 2025 by EU Business News, in recognition of his managerial and financial excellence. The Occitan-based company designs software to simplify the daily lives of legal and real estate professionals.
In concrete terms, its tools help lawyers, notaries, bailiffs and legal departments to manage their files, exchanges and documents quickly and securely. For its part, stp.one is firmly established in Germany, and has established itself as a key partner for law firms and court-appointed receivers, thanks to its SaaS platforms for case management, compliance and procedure automation. By joining Septeo, the German company will benefit from the French group's power of innovation, particularly in the fields of cloud and artificial intelligence, to accelerate the development of its products and services.
For Hugues Galambrun, this operation represents "a significant milestone in our European development. With the arrival of stp.one, we have all the keys we need to accelerate our geographical expansion and strengthen our ability to provide cutting-edge solutions to professionals across the continent". Oliver Bendig, CEO of stp.one, adds: "Over the last few years, we have built up a market-leading, scalable, multi-vertical LegalTech platform. Joining Septeo will enable us to move faster and bring even more value to our customers across Europe".
Prior to the acquisition of stp.one, Septeo had already embarked on a significant external growth dynamic on the Old Continent. The acquisition of Witbooking in Spain enabled Septeo to expand its footprint in Southern Europe and deploy its SaaS solutions internationally. The company led by Hugues Galambrun has also acquired Belgium's Mpleo (which helps companies manage recruitment, vacations, payroll and internal communications) and France's Misterbooking, a specialist in reservation, invoicing and operations management for hotels.
