What began as one of Legora’s earliest collaborations, has evolved into a firmwide deployment that’s redefining how lawyers and their clients navigate legal work in a technology-driven world. We’re proud to share this next chapter of our partnership with Bird & Bird.
Since day one, Bird & Bird has helped shape the Legora platform through insight, rigorous testing, and real-world application. “One thing that has been very important to me was getting lawyers involved very early on,” says Max Junestrand, Co-founder and CEO of Legora. “And Bird & Bird has been with us on this journey since the very beginning.”

Bird & Bird was a pioneer among international law firms, being one of the first to run a six-month pilot with 800 participants. It laid the groundwork for Legora’s technology to become deeply embedded in the legal workflows of one of the world’s most innovative law firms. The features we built – from redlining and drafting support, to custom prompts and data extraction – were designed hand-in-hand with Bird & Bird lawyers to meet the real demands of modern legal practice.
At the heart of Bird & Bird’s vision is the commitment to guide organizations through a world shaped by innovation and regulation. “We had one of the earliest collaborations with Legora, and were able to give key insights into the client problems that we solve every day,” said Christian Bartsch, CEO at Bird & Bird.
Whether it’s responding to client needs during periods of transformation, or helping navigate the regulatory landscape, Legora enables Bird & Bird’s teams to deliver faster, deeper insights. “It’s helping streamline the early stages of reviewing and interrogating documents,” Jennifer McBride, Legal Director at Bird & Bird explains. “With the advanced data extraction capabilities of Tabular Review, we get to an initial view much faster and are able to focus our time on deeper thinking and problem solving.”

For Thomas Davies, associate at Bird & Bird’s international Corporate Group, Legora has become a hands-on ally in the legal process: “Our clients come to us for our tactical and strategic advice. We are there for them during times of immense change and potential difficulty. Being able to use Legora to help navigate those issues means we are better placed to offer that vital support to clients more quickly and efficiently.”

This partnership is more than just about adoption, it’s about collaboration. “Bird & Bird are right there with us in the room, providing valuable feedback as we continue to shape the future of legal work,” Max Junestrand reflects.
Christian Bartsch puts it best: “Bird & Bird’s ambition is to be the leading international law firm transforming the future delivery of client services. With Legora, we’re not just talking about the future, we’re building it."
