Deloitte Legal and leading AI platform Legora have today announced a strategic relationship in the UK that will see the two organisations collaborate to drive the next wave of legal transformation.
Deloitte Legal and Legora share the strategic vision that AI can transform the value of legal through the delivery of better business outcomes. Realising this vision involves a profound reshaping of the operating model for both in-house teams and law firms, moving past task-based productivity gains into full-service redesign. It includes embedding more data-driven insight, reshaping the client provider relationship, developing future skills and talent in new ways, and strengthening the data and knowledge foundations needed for long-term success.
Deloitte Legal and Legora will provide hands-on support for legal clients developing and implementing their AI strategies and tools from pilot to sustained adoption at scale. The collaboration brings together Deloitte’s legal and consulting expertise for in-house legal and law firms, with the experience of adopting Legora in their own business.
Furthermore, Deloitte Legal will develop pre-built solutions and custom workflows for specific use-cases on the platform. These solutions will be made available as part of their offering to help transform ways of working for in-house legal departments and law firms who are using Legora.
Legora brings a market-leading legal AI platform with a strong focus on client success. Its technology helps lawyers review and research faster, draft with precision, and automate high-volume tasks - freeing time for higher-value strategic work. The technology also aims to accelerate junior lawyers’ development and strengthen collaboration between law firms and in-house teams.
Richard Punt, Deloitte Legal Global and UK leader, commented on the collaboration:
"At Deloitte Legal, delivering business solutions to legal issues is at the heart of our approach. Our collaboration with Legora is an exciting development as we share a strategic vision for AI-driven transformation of legal services. Together, we will help our clients provide more insightful, efficient, and effective legal solutions and re-design how legal services are delivered, providing a new value and better outcomes.”
Max Junestrand, CEO of Legora, added:
“Legora’s platform has always been built on collaboration between the finest legal and technical minds. This new relationship with Deloitte Legal allows us to push the boundaries of what legal technology can achieve and set a new standard for the delivery of legal services. Together, we’re equipping Deloitte Legal’s own team - and their client base - with customised, cutting-edge AI solutions to transform their operations - helping them to work smarter, faster, and deliver better outcomes.”
