He joins Legora to build on that momentum to lead strategic initiatives, where he will be crucial in shaping the next chapter of a platform designed for connected, collaborative legal work.

The brief is simple but powerful: translate evolving legal needs into a product that lawyers can rely on every day, across every surface they use.

A career built across both sides of legal work

Adrian began his career in corporate law, advising on high-profile deals such as Robinhood’s pre-IPO financings and Amazon’s acquisition of Zoox. The experience was formative, but it also made clear what was missing: products that reflected how lawyers actually work.

He next moved to a fintech startup as General Counsel, where the product itself was legal by design. That’s where he began straddling two worlds: advising on risk while co-designing the underlying systems. He later transitioned into product leadership, opening the company’s European office and overseeing new product development.

When large language models leapt forward, Adrian founded his own company to tackle a problem he knew intimately from his time as a lawyer: timekeeping. Automating time tracking then revealed a bigger opportunity – how much of legal work still happens in isolation, and how better-designed products could bring it together. During that journey he met Legora’s co-founders, Max and Sigge, in the same Y Combinator batch – and kept an eye on a platform that was moving fast, listening hard, and building with lawyers rather than for them.

Why perspective matters

Legal work takes many forms, each practice and role with its own pace and priorities. Adrian’s perspective spans them all. Having been both the customer and the creator, he understands how lawyers work, how firms evolve, and how good product design can bridge the two.

That connection is what drew him to Legora. Its focus on clarity, reliability, and connected workflows reflects his own view of how technology should fit naturally into the way lawyers work.

The next chapter: a complete system for legal work

Adrian sees Legora as a company already redefining what an AI-native legal platform can be: fast, precise, and deeply collaborative.

“Legora has built the foundations of what it means to have an AI-powered legal practice,” he says. “Now it’s about taking those building blocks and turning them into a complete operating system for legal work.”

That means going deeper into specific practice areas, connecting the tools lawyers already use, and creating seamless, end-to-end workflows – all while keeping lawyers firmly engaged with the process. 

For Adrian, the excitement lies in the pace and ambition of the journey ahead.

“The trajectory, the product quality, the customer love – it’s remarkable. Legora isn’t just building better tools; it’s shaping how the entire profession will work.”

Leading strategic initiatives, his focus will be turning that vision into reality – one workflow, one workspace, one solution at a time.
