We’re excited to take the next step in our AI journey with the adoption of Legora (formerly Leya) as part of our commitment to integrating advanced GenAI tools across Addleshaw Goddard. After a comprehensive evaluation of Legora’s large-scale document review capabilities, its speed of development, responsiveness and the positive collaboration with Legora’s team convinced us to adopt it. Legora will complement our internally developed AGPT, giving our lawyers a powerful suite of AI-driven solutions to enhance efficiency, adapt quickly and deliver even greater value to our clients. We’re looking forward to seeing the impact of this innovative technology in action. Find out more about our collaboration here: https://lnkd.in/e82Ue99S #LegalTech #GenAI #GenerativeAI #AI
