Baker McKenzie rolls out Legora AI platform across its global practice groups
Baker McKenzie is rolling out the Legora AI platform across all six practice groups globally, aiming to enhance legal services through AI-driven workflows.Summary
Baker McKenzie is deploying the Legora AI platform across its six global practice groups—transactional, banking and finance, tax, dispute resolution, employment and compensation, and commercial. The firm, with 74 offices in 41 countries and over 3,500 lawyers, will initially use Legora for tasks like document review, data extraction, and drafting. This rollout follows competition with rival AI platform Harvey AI, which was adopted by Slaughter and May last month. Partner Ben Allgrove emphasized that efficiency gains are a near-term benefit, but long-term success relies on lawyers using AI to improve work quality. The deployment leverages Baker McKenzie's applied AI practice, established in 2021, to design scalable legal workflows. Legora's CEO, Max Junestrand, stated the platform's legal engineers will collaborate with this practice to scale solutions. The legal sector is seeing broader AI investments, such as Anthropic's Claude AI-agent plugins and partnerships like Freshfields developing joint legal AI tools, highlighting the growing integration of AI in legal practices.
