Legora partners with Deloitte Legal in UK to scale generative AI across legal teams

Legora partners with Deloitte Legal UK to scale AI across corporate legal teams

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," gives Legora access to Deloitte's large corporate client base.

What the partnership covers

Legora and Deloitte Legal will collaborate to provide hands-on support for legal clients building and implementing 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.

Why this matters for legal teams

Enterprise adoption is less about features and more about fit. This partnership brings implementation muscle, change management support, and use-case blueprints that reduce risk and time-to-value for in-house teams and law firms.

• Faster pilots with clearer KPIs and success criteria
• Pre-built workflows that integrate into existing processes
• Support for governance, security, and scale

Inside Legora's toolkit

Legora's technology includes Tabular Review, which turns folders of contracts, agreements, and case files into an interactive grid for faster triage and review. Its agentic AI system supports legal research by surfacing relevant precedents from document searches, reducing manual hunting and context switching.

Traction and client base

Founded in 2023, Legora has built a 250-client legal base across 20 markets and employs 100+ people in New York, London, and Stockholm. Law firm clients include Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin Procter, Bird & Bird and Mishcon de Reya.

Recent agreements include Wardyński & Partners and BCLP. In South Africa, Webber Wentzel has selected Legora as the anchor technology partner for its Innovation Lab.

Funding snapshot

In May, Legora raised $80m Series B funding from investors ICONIQ and General Catalyst, valuing the company at $675m.

What Legora is saying

"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."

What to watch next

Expect packaged solutions targeting high-volume work like diligence, contract review, and investigations. Also watch for integrations with common DMS and CLM systems, plus clearer benchmarks on accuracy, speed, and cost per matter.

Practical next steps for GCs and law firm leaders

• Prioritize 2-3 use-cases with measurable ROI (e.g., third-party paper review, playbook adherence, regulatory lookups).
• Run a 60-90 day pilot with baselines (time, cost, accuracy) and compare against control matters.
• Define guardrails: data access, privilege handling, audit trails, and escalation paths.
• Set up an adoption squad: legal ops, IT/security, knowledge management, and a practice lead.
• Plan the post-pilot handoff-training, documentation, and workflow updates to prevent stall-out.
