During the six-month trial period, 675 individuals from nearly every Bird & Bird office engaged extensively with the tool for document review, legal research, workflow optimisation, and collaboration across teams. The Bird & Bird and Legora team also collaborated closely on upskilling, engagement, and adoption across both the firm’s practices and sectors.

The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with particular success in Corporate, Employment, and IP, underscoring the tool’s capacity to not only streamline legal processes but also help transform the client experience.

A suite of options tailored to client needs

Bird & Bird’s partnership with Legora has enabled the firm to collaborate closely to create and customise the platform to specific client needs. The integration of Legora into various legal workflows will be reflected in a range of pricing solutions based on client objectives. Christian Bartsch, CEO of Bird & Bird said: “Where the objective is speed of delivery, our clients can access increased turnaround with our teams reporting time savings of up to 50% on some tasks in the trial. Elsewhere
when clients require a playbook to approach specific scenarios, we’ve seen how Legora can help our teams leverage our experience over multiple matters to deliver that.” He added: “Our approach to pricing won’t be a one size fits all because the value drivers of our clients are different. Some clients will want to take up flexible options leveraging Legora while others will get much more value from our lawyers spending the time to provide that human expert layer of insight that helps them achieve their commercial goals.”

A key milestone in the firm’s five-year strategy

The collaboration with Legora strongly aligns with Bird & Bird’s strategic focus to expand its established expertise in providing technology enabled solutions for clients. It has also enhanced the firm’s already strong culture of innovation and continuous improvement.

“At Bird & Bird, our focus has always been on solving real-world client problems, rather than adopting technology indiscriminately. Rather than using technology and AI ‘for the sake of it’, we’re committed to balancing the potential cost and efficiency benefits against challenges like accuracy, compliance, and upskilling our teams. Our collaboration with Legora firmly positions us as a leading law firm in the GenAI space and underscores our position as the leading international law firm guiding organisations through a world being shaped by technology, innovation and regulation.”

“The value add that we witnessed from the 6-month trial exceeded all expectations. With the addition of Legora to our workflows, we can devise new ways to ensure our clients are supported with accurate, practical and comprehensive support. As we continue to work with Legora to enhance the platform’s functionality, we look forward to not only innovating the way we work but also driving the transformation of legal services delivery.”
- Hélder Santos, Head of Legal Tech and Innovation at Bird & Bird

“Legora’s highly collaborative relationship with Bird & Bird is not only a testament to the success of the platform, but also to how we’ve driven engagement and adoption in the firm. The team and I look forward to continuing to refine and extend the tool to suit their needs, as well as the needs of their clients. Ensuring a high level of security, accuracy and support the firm in the responsible use of AI remains our top priorities as we continue to empower exceptional lawyers to achieve more.”
