More Legora news today. International law firm Bird & Bird has opted for a firm-wide roll out of Legora, formally Leya, after a successful proof-of-concept trial across the business.
During the six-month trial period, 675 individuals from nearly every Bird & Bird office engaged extensively with the tool for document review, legal research, workflow optimisation, and collaboration across teams, they said.
The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with particular success in Corporate, Employment, and IP, underscoring the tool’s capacity to not only streamline legal processes but also help transform the client experience, the firm added.
Interestingly they added that: ‘The integration of Legora into various legal workflows will be reflected in a range of pricing solutions based on client objectives.’
Christian Bartsch, CEO of Bird & Bird, said: ‘We rigorously tested Legora against a series of KPIs for selected use cases. Our trial has been very successful, and we can now offer our clients an expanded augmented service across a range of client needs, supplementing our existing suite of legal-tech solutions. Examples of use cases for Legora include decreased turnaround time on certain legal tasks and leveraging Legora to implement a client’s playbook across multiple matters. This technology complements our legal expertise, allowing our specialised professionals to concentrate on high-value outputs where their human insights can significantly help our clients achieve their commercial objectives.’
Hélder Santos, Head of Legal Tech and Innovation at Bird & Bird, commented: ‘The value add that we witnessed from the 6-month trial exceeded all expectations. With the addition of Legora to our workflows, we can devise new ways to ensure our clients are supported with accurate, practical and comprehensive support. As we continue to work with Legora to enhance the platform’s functionality, we look forward to not only innovating the way we work but also driving the transformation of legal services delivery.’
Max Junestrand, CEO at Legora, concluded: ‘Legora’s highly collaborative relationship with Bird & Bird is not only a testament to the success of the platform, but also to how we’ve driven engagement and adoption in the firm. The team and I look forward to continuing to refine and extend the tool to suit their needs, as well as the needs of their clients. Ensuring a high level of security, accuracy and support the firm in the responsible use of AI remains our top priorities as we continue to empower exceptional lawyers to achieve more.’
The news follows yesterday’s announcement that Mishcon de Reya was also now running a major pilot with Legora.
