Pinsent Masons forges strategic partnership with Legora

Legora is a collaborative AI workspace built to fit seamlessly into a lawyer’s workflow and works to streamline everything from research to drafting and review. 

Sharing the mindset that meaningful innovation is driven through collaboration with developers, not by simply deploying off the shelf tools, Pinsent Masons and Legora will work together to accelerate the exploration of AI's applications across legal workflows. The partnership is centred on co creating new ways to enhance the client experience. 

Following the successful pilot, Legora will now be rolled out globally across the firm’s corporate, commercial and property teams, with pilots set to commence in all remaining practice groups. This partnership will bring the firm’s total number of Legora users to 1,000, with plans to expand this further as use cases are proven. The successful implementation of Legora will be supported by the firm’s expanding cohort of AI Champions, lawyers from associate through to partner who will be trained to upskill their colleagues.  

Director of Transformation Neil Green said: “We know that our clients are under pressure to demonstrate greater value through the use of technology and this understanding provided the foundation for how we approached the Legora relationship, with a clear mandate to explore how it could make the greatest impact. Our structured pilot was developed with colleagues in corporate, commercial and property and enabled us to rapidly pinpoint effective use cases. That clarity means our subsequent phased firmwide implementation will deliver meaningful results far more quickly. For us, this is what the conscious deployment of technology is all about.” 

Head of the Change & Innovation Board, Clare Francis said: “This partnership shows that our focus isn’t on simply adopting technology, but on equipping our people to work confidently and creatively with it. By collaborating closely with Legora, we’re bringing together the best of human expertise and advanced AI, co developing tools and approaches that enhance our capabilities and empower our teams. The pilot has allowed us to explore how this technology can complement our lawyers’ skills, helping us deliver smarter, faster and more meaningful outcomes for clients.” 

On working with Pinsent Masons, Head of Legal Engineering at Legora, Alex Fortescue-Webb said: “From the outset, we were struck by Pinsent Masons’ disciplined approach to the pilot and the team’s genuine intellectual curiosity about what AI can bring to the legal profession. Their structured methodology, coupled with an unwavering commitment to building a true partnership, made working with them both energising and rewarding. That level of engagement enabled us to fine tune the platform in ways that directly supported their priorities and accelerated what we could achieve together.”
