About LexPons
LexPons is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) based in the Paris area. It develops, maintains, and publishes open standards, methods, specifications, software, structured databases, documentation, and tools for legal and regulatory rules.
Its purpose is to make legal and regulatory texts easier to represent in structured, traceable, and machine-processable forms that can be reused across documentation, compliance, research, and software systems.
LexPons produces shared open resources that others can build on.

Public role
LexPons focuses on representation, structuring, indexing, interoperability, access, and reuse. It does not provide legal advice, interpret the law on behalf of users, certify compliance, or operate as a commercial SaaS brand.
Neutrality and independence
Downstream tools and services may consume LexPons artifacts in commercial or non-commercial settings. LexPons remains independent from any single downstream user and aims to be a neutral, reliable reference point for the wider ecosystem.
Founding and governance
LexPons was founded in 2026 by Veljko Dzodic and Helene Semere and is governed under the French law of 1 July 1901 on associations. It operates under a gestion desinteressee constraint: its resources serve the mission of the association.
