Legora Uses OpenAI Models for Agentic Legal Platform

Legal AI company Legora is using OpenAI models and coding agents to build what its CEO calls an agentic operating system for legal work. Founded in Stockholm in 2023, the company uses OpenAI technology to power workflows across legal tasks, including document review and due diligence.

After the release of GPT-3.5 enabled its early experiments, Legora expanded its use of ChatGPT Work, Codex, and dots across its teams while building on new OpenAI model capabilities. According to OpenAI, Legora's Tabular Review workflow can analyze thousands of contracts across multiple questions in minutes. Legora CEO Max Junestrand cites one Fortune 100 customer that reduced contract turnaround time by 90%, saved more than $20 million on external litigation and diligence, and returned 9.5 hours per lawyer each week.

Legora's internal legal team also uses the software to process non-disclosure agreements. General Counsel Emma Kadri Bergström estimates that reviewing NDAs originally took around 20% of her team's capacity. According to OpenAI and Kadri Bergström, deploying a playbook workflow to take a first pass at incoming NDAs and highlight terms outside acceptable parameters reduced that figure to under 1%, a 95%+ reduction in time spent reviewing NDAs.

Kadri Bergström says that in the past year, the company grew from three offices to 18, completed three financing rounds, and made five acquisitions. According to OpenAI and Legora CTO Jacob Lauritzen, Legora engineering teams use coding agents to explore 20 solutions at once and search millions of lines of logs, taking some bug reports to a working fix in around five minutes.

Legal teams can also access Legora's capabilities inside ChatGPT through the Legora plugin for ChatGPT. According to OpenAI, when more than 75% of leaders actively use Legora, median usage across the organization is 3x higher.
