An innovative mindset 

Thomas K. Svensen, Managing Partner at BAHR emphasises that the firm’s strong, unified culture gives them the ability to move quickly and adapt with confidence. Openness to change has become a hallmark – never shying away from new ideas, but embracing innovation as part of everyday practice.

That mindset has carried the firm from its early adoption of emerging technologies to today’s AI-driven workflows. As Svein Gerhard Simonnaes, Partner at BAHR, recalls, “We did a very careful study and came back to the partnership saying that, look, we have Legora. It wins hands down. Let’s switch to Legora.”

However, adoption is not the finish line. Joachim Edin, Head of Digital Innovation at BAHR, emphasizes, “The AI journey at BAHR has already been great and we’ve achieved a lot, including world class adoption. But for us, that’s only the beginning.” This forward-looking approach shows up in everyday practice. Caroline Brochmann Byhring, Senior Associate at BAHR, puts it simply: “Legora is an integrated part of most of the tasks I do every single day.”

Measurable success 

The results speak for themselves. Thomas notes, “Today as much as 80% of our people are active users, and as high as 30% use Legora more than ten times a day.” These numbers reflect BAHR’s collaborative culture and their commitment to making AI part of daily work.

And the impact is clear. Svein Gerhard explains, “We can get analysis done very quickly and move on from there. And just that, releasing time for in-depth analysis and finding solutions, is a very big gain.” Beyond speed, it also sharpens the precision of their work.

Workflows are another area where Legora has changed how BAHR works. By linking different steps of the platform, lawyers can streamline tasks that once took much longer. As Siok Lim, Senior Digital Innovation Consultant at BAHR, shares, “It allows us to chain together different steps of the Legora platform, for example, tabular review, prompts, and translation. And that has allowed us to unlock many new possibilities.”

This agility is not just about efficiency – it enables lawyers to focus on what matters most: strategy, creativity, and client outcomes.

Looking ahead 

At its core, BAHR sees technology as a way to empower people. Svein Gerhard sums it up: “It’s really about making sure that good people have the best tools available. Otherwise, we can’t work and we can’t compete.” And Thomas concludes, “At BAHR, we are not afraid of change. We’re building the firm for the future, and Legora is part of that machinery.”

Together, BAHR and Legora are proving what’s possible when culture, people, and technology align. The result is not just a law firm ready for tomorrow, but one actively shaping it today.
