The latest from Legora

As legal AI adoption accelerates, many legal teams are asking the same question. Not whether to explore AI, but how to evaluate it properly.

When Mattia Jurinovich began his legal career, legal engineering existed more as a niche career path than a clearly defined role. Today, it is becoming far more visible as firms look for practical ways to make AI useful in legal work. Tax law, in particular, has emerged as a strong testing ground, thanks to its structured logic, repeatable workflows, and high demands for accuracy.

Drafting has never suffered from a lack of tools. It has suffered from being disconnected from the work that informs it.

The legal professionals redefining what it means to practise law inspire us. We call them The Shapers. At Denmark’s largest pension company, PFA, responsibility and innovation go hand in hand. The organisation manages billions in assets for more than a million customers, balancing long-term trust with constant adaptation. Within its legal department, that same mindset applies. Legal professionals are exploring how technology and collaboration can strengthen the business, and at the heart of that evolution is Susanne Møller, VP, Legal Department at PFA. We spoke with her about the opportunities and challenges of AI in legal work, and how she sees the profession evolving.

The legal professionals who are reshaping and reimagining what it means to work in the legal world inspire us. We call them ‘The Shapers’. They’re our power-users, who are challenging traditional legal work and helping the industry evolve. This week we’re in discussion with Oliver Ribera Gil, Head Counsel at Spanish fashion giant Desigual, famous for its bold, colorful, and unconventional designs. We talk about balancing speed, solidity and security amid constant change, and the importance of curiosity, good communication and having the courage to innovate.

Eva Jarbekk, a Partner at leading Scandinavian law firm Schjødt, didn’t set out to be a lawyer. She grew up in a family of engineers, but she was drawn to the comfort of method. “Law is almost a kind of mathematics,” she says. “You may not always get an answer with two lines under it, but you do get an answer.” That mindset of loving rules, hierarchy, and structured interpretation, has anchored a career at the centre of technology, privacy, and the EU’s fast-evolving digital rulebook.
