Fast-growing Gen AI legaltech start-up Legora has agreed a strategic partnership with Deloitte Legal in the UK.
The deal, described by the Swedish company as a “landmark moment”, promises to provide it with access to Deloitte’s large corporate client base.
The two parties said they would collaborate to “provide hands-on support for legal clients developing and implementing their AI strategies and tools from pilot to sustained adoption at scale”.
Deloitte Legal will also “develop pre-built solutions and custom workflows for specific use-cases” on Legora’s platform.
Founded in 2023, Legora’s technology includes its Tabular Review tool, which allows folders containing contracts, agreements and case files to be organised into an interactive grid, and an agentic AI system that aids legal research by surfacing relevant precedents from document searches.
In May, Legora received $80m of Series B funding from investors ICONIQ and General Catalyst that valued it at $675m.
In just two years, it has built up a 250-strong legal client base in 20 different markets, employing more than 100 people across offices in New York, London and Stockholm.
Law firm clients include Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin Procter, Bird & Bird and Mishcon de Reya.
A Legora spokesperson said: “We absolutely see more collaborations ahead. Legora was built with lawyers for lawyers and still embeds alongside their teams, so new capabilities fit existing workflows, cut review from hours to minutes, and deliver clear value from day one.
“By unlocking capacity, firms can also evolve, pursue new service lines and focus on long-term growth.”
Recent deals have seen it signed up by leading independent Polish law firm Wardyński & Partners and BCLP. In South Africa, Webber Wentzel has made Legora its anchor technology partner in its Innovation Lab.
