It’s this reality that led Dentons Europe to Legora, as a strategic legal AI platform to power how legal work is delivered across practices, borders, and time zones, letting them unlock the full depth of their expertise, and put it directly into the hands of every lawyer, in every office across Europe and Central Asia, at exactly the moment they need it.

Transforming legal work

“With the help of AI, we can make the knowledge of more than 7,000 lawyers available at scale,” says Thomas Schubert, Corporate and M&A Partner at Dentons’ Berlin office. “AI is definitely changing the way we work, the way our clients work, and how we deliver our services to clients.”

“We need technology partners who understand our world,” explains Judith Schmid, Restructuring Partner in Berlin. “We have a huge amount of data that we need to analyze without compromising the quality, confidentiality or consistency of our legal work. And that’s where Legora comes in, with a really tailor-made product that fits all these needs.”

The result is smarter, more consistent, and more connected legal delivery across the firm.

Everyday impact across practice areas

What makes Dentons Europe’s adoption of Legora distinctive is how deeply it supports real, day-to-day legal work across disciplines.

Chen Gu, Intellectual Property and Technology Associate in Paris, said, “Working across IP, IT, contracts, and litigation, Legora plays a key role. To me it is like a personal assistant that doesn’t judge me, especially when there’s a tight deadline to meet.”

Steeve Jaskierowicz, Banking and Finance Counsel in Paris, added: “In banking and finance, documentation is vast and stakes are high. We deal with large and often very complex data where accuracy, speed, and consistency are essential.”

Yoel Bendavid, Employment and Labor Counsel in Paris: “In employment and labour law, the volume and nuance of data can be overwhelming. The key use cases of AI in my practice really help me with staff transfer operations for restructuring, or even litigation, when I need to analyze a lot of arguments concerning several employees.”

Across these practices, it's clear to see that AI is strengthening legal judgment.

Powering flexibility, progression, and new ways of working

For Judith Schmid, who became a partner this year while working part-time, Legora has helped reshape what flexibility in legal careers can look like.

“Sometimes when I’m working in the evening, Legora is a fantastic tool to have at hand. It gives me a service that I would normally need the input of a colleague for.”

This is one of the most profound shifts enabled by AI at Dentons Europe: not just productivity gains, but new ways of structuring work, talent, and progression, without compromising standards.

At Dentons, innovation is embedded into how the firm operates. “Innovation is part of how we work. We don’t see it as a separate initiative, it’s really built into our culture,” says Maren Tamke, Competition and Antitrust/Trade Partner in Berlin. 

“Dentons Europe always sets itself as a challenger at the forefront of legal innovation,” Judith adds. “And Legora will help us to keep that position.”

Setting the benchmark for AI

Dentons Europe’s partnership with Legora represents a defining moment in how global law firms adopt AI as core infrastructure for legal delivery. From banking and finance, to IP, employment, and litigation, the platform is already shaping how work gets done: faster analysis, deeper consistency, more flexible careers, and more empowered lawyers.

With Legora as its strategic AI platform, Dentons Europe is actively shaping the future of legal work at scale.
