Legora is building the agentic operating system for legal work

Legora, founded in Stockholm in 2023, is developing an agentic operating system for legal work that integrates AI into daily legal workflows. CEO Max Junestrand aims to make every piece of legal work run on their platform, leveraging OpenAI models like GPT-3.5 and beyond to power agentic legal work and large-scale document review. The company itself is AI-native, using tools like ChatGPT Work and Codex to accelerate engineering and improve efficiency—for example, reducing bug-fix time to minutes. Legora's internal legal team has cut NDA review time from 20% to under 1% of capacity, freeing time for higher-value work. Customers, including a Fortune 100 company, have seen 90% faster contract turnaround, $20 million+ savings on external litigation and diligence, and 9.5 hours saved per lawyer per week. The platform enables broader, higher-quality analysis, such as reviewing thousands of contracts in minutes. Leadership lessons include leading by example, starting with the problem, building a network of champions, being ready to rebuild as models improve, and designing for trust. Looking ahead, Legora plans to tackle longer-running tasks with greater autonomy and enable real-time collaboration between lawyers and AI, transforming legal teams from bottlenecks to business partners.
