Building on a long-standing relationship over the past 18 months, UK law firm Freeths has announced a multi-year partnership with Legora. The expanded collaboration cements Legora’s role at the heart of Freeths’ AI strategy, supporting the leading firm to deliver complex legal work faster, more securely and to the high standards clients expect.
Prioritising responsible and secure AI usage
As an AI-forward firm, Freeths places a strong emphasis on responsible and secure AI adoption. Having worked closely with Legora to embed AI into everyday workflows, the firm values Legora’s thoughtful, collaborative approach - particularly when it comes to data security, governance and long-term trust.
Nick Pryor, Director of Knowledge and Innovation at Freeths, said: “We've been working with Legora since before they were Legora, nurturing a long-term partnership built on strong foundations and shared values. Client data security and a responsible approach to AI are non-negotiable for Freeths and Legora has consistently exceeded our demanding expectations. Their recent ISO 42001 certification marks a pivotal milestone, allowing us to formalise our collaboration through this expanded multi-year commitment.”
Exceptional client service at scale
The scaled partnership allows legal professionals across Freeths to spend less time on routine review and analysis, and more time on strategic, high-value advisory work. With Legora supporting core workflows, teams can move faster without compromising quality - helping Freeths maintain competitive fee structures while continuing to deliver exceptional client outcomes.
Pryor added: “Legora is a keystone in Freeths' AI strategy. Its thoughtful approach to product design gives our legal teams, and legal AI professionals, a uniquely powerful toolkit and canvas. This in turn allows us to bring our legal expertise to life in new ways, delivering innovative solutions to complex client problems. The impact of this collaboration has already been significant,and this is only the beginning."
Francis Dalton, Corporate Partner at Freeths, commented: "We are leveraging Legora's analytical and review capabilities to dramatically reduce routine tasks, allowing our lawyers to focus on high-value strategic advisory work whilst maintaining competitive fee structures. Legora helps us meet the exceptional service levels our clients rightly expect of us, and we're delighted to be collaborating with them."
Alex Fortescue-Webb, Head of UK&I at Legora, said: “Our work with Freeths has been an extremely rewarding process. From the very start of our partnership, the team has been eager to embrace AI in a responsible way that we champion at Legora. I’m looking forward to working with Freeths, as we continue to scale and expand across the UK.”
