Legora is building the agentic operating system for legal work
OpenAI-backed Legora launches an AI platform to automate routine legal tasks, enabling faster analysis and broader workloads for in-house legal teams.
Legora, a Stockholm-based startup founded in 2023, has developed an AI-driven platform designed to automate routine legal tasks, allowing lawyers to focus on higher-value work. The company’s CEO and co-founder, Max Junestrand, describes it as an 'agentic operating system for legal work,' integrating AI into daily legal workflows. OpenAI has been a foundational partner, with GPT-3.5 enabling many of the legal use cases the company now supports. Legora’s platform leverages OpenAI’s models to power core workflows, including agentic legal tasks and large-scale document reviews.
Legora’s engineering team uses OpenAI’s coding agents to accelerate development and troubleshooting. Coding agents enable the team to prototype up to 20 solutions simultaneously, reducing the time to identify the best approach from weeks to days. When diagnosing product issues, agents can analyze millions of log lines in parallel, sometimes resolving bugs in around five minutes. These internal efficiencies translate to faster problem resolution, quicker customer feedback, and earlier testing of new features with users.
Legora’s own legal team has also adopted AI to streamline workflows. General Counsel Emma Kadri Bergström reports that AI has reduced the time spent reviewing NDAs from approximately 20% of the team’s capacity to under 1%. The company’s rapid expansion—growing from three offices to 18, completing three financing rounds, and making five acquisitions in the past year—has been supported by AI, allowing the legal team to scale without proportional increases in headcount.
For customers, Legora’s AI capabilities extend beyond efficiency gains to enable broader and higher-quality legal work. The Tabular Review workflow can analyze thousands of contracts in minutes, surfacing risks that might otherwise be missed in traditional reviews. A Fortune 100 customer reported a 90% faster contract turnaround and $20 million in savings on external litigation and diligence. Legora’s plugin for ChatGPT integrates its tools directly into legal teams’ existing workflows.
