[New York City, New York] – November 7, 2025 – Legora, the collaborative AI platform for legal professionals trusted by over 400 customers globally, today announced the launch of Legora Portal, a groundbreaking platform that fundamentally reimagines how law firms and in-house legal teams collaborate in an AI-powered world.

As in-house legal departments increasingly adopt AI tools and look to insource legal work, law firms face mounting pressure to demonstrate greater efficiency and value. Legora Portal addresses this challenge by enabling law firms to productize their specialized expertise and deliver it to clients through custom AI workflows, playbooks, intelligent document sharing, and live collaboration, creating entirely new business model opportunities.

For in-house teams, Legora Portal provides a secure, unified workspace to access firm-specific expertise, automate repetitive workflows, and seamlessly integrate their external counsel into their day-to-day operations.

"Our philosophy has always been simple: if our clients win, we win. Law firms have knowledge and specialized expertise that businesses rely upon, but until now, there has been no effective way of collaborating with clients in the age of AI," said Max Junestrand, CEO and co-founder at Legora.

"Legora Portal changes that equation entirely, allowing firms to leverage their institutional knowledge as a competitive differentiator while creating scalable, effective service delivery models. Furthermore, it significantly speeds up communication and the sharing of materials – similar to what tools like Figma did for designers."

For over 30 years, lawyers have relied primarily on email for client collaboration, resulting in buried documents, countless versions, endless searching through Outlook, and fragmented communication. Legora Portal eliminates these inefficiencies with a white-labeled, permission-driven user experience that centralizes all matter-related work in one secure, intuitive platform.

Key Features and Capabilities

Firm-Powered AI Workflows: Law firms can build and share custom AI workflows with clients, allowing them to benefit from specialized legal and AI expertise. Examples include contract review based on firm playbooks, due diligence, drafting workflows, and automated research based on web and legal sources – all powered by the firm's accumulated knowledge and document libraries.

Q&A on Large Document Sets: Firms can expose large document sets directly to their clients, who can submit questions directly through Legora Portal or via email. Legora's AI search then analyzes thousands of documents simultaneously, compiling concise responses with source references that firm lawyers can validate and refine.

Live Collaboration: Teams can work together in real-time on tabular reviews and documents using Legora's built-in editor. Comments, task assignments, and notifications ensure nothing slips through the cracks, even on complex matters involving multiple law firms.

Streamlined File Sharing and Organization: Legora Portal eliminates the inefficiencies of traditional email-based collaboration. It enables bulk document uploads, advanced search across hundreds of files, version tracking, and granular permission management at both matter and document levels.

Enterprise-Grade Security and Control: Built on the industry-leading security of the Legora platform, Portal is SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, and GDPR compliant. The platform features robust encryption, role-based access controls, and zero AI training or data retention. Firms maintain complete control over what information is shared with clients, with customizable permissions for every matter, file, and workflow.

Legora Portal is currently in the design partnership phase with a group of customers, including Linklaters, Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Deloitte, MinterEllison, Allens, Bird & Bird, Mishcon de Reya, Mannheimer Swartling, Pérez-Llorca, Al Tamimi & Company and TLT. General availability is scheduled for Q1 2026.

Kyle Poe, VP of Legal Innovation & Strategy at Legora, and former AMLaw10 partner, commented:

"Legora Portal represents a fundamental shift in how legal services are delivered. We're creating an entirely new model where law firms can scale their expertise, deepen client relationships, and build durable competitive advantages. The firms that embrace this approach will be the ones leading the industry in five years."
