UK law firm Brodies LLP has entered into a strategic partnership with Legora following a successful three-month pilot across the firm, becoming the first law firm headquartered in Scotland to adopt the platform.
Prominent UK law firm, Brodies LLP, has entered into a strategic partnership with Legora, the agentic operating system for legal professionals, following a successful three-month pilot across the firm.
The partnership forms part of Brodies' ongoing investment in technology that supports the delivery of high-quality legal services and enhances the experience of clients and colleagues throughout the firm.
The decision follows a rigorous evaluation process, during which the platform was used by 180 colleagues as part of the pilot, across a range of legal and business support functions. The assessment considered performance, security, governance and practical application within Brodies' existing regulatory and ethical framework.
Stephen Goldie, managing partner, Brodies LLP, said:
"Artificial intelligence presents significant opportunities to enhance how legal services are delivered, but its adoption must be thoughtful, responsible and aligned with the needs of clients. We believe Legora is the right partner to help us drive benefits from technology that help our people and enhance our service.
"Our decision to partner with Legora follows extensive testing by colleagues throughout the firm. A major focus of the pilot programme was identifying ways in which technology can support our work while ensuring that the experience of our lawyers, their professional judgement and client service remain at the heart of everything we do. We evaluated the platform against a range of criteria to ensure it met our stringent security standards while also delivering demonstrable value.
"Feedback from our pilot group was positive across the board, with colleagues valuing the ease of use and intuitive interface. Legora helps them analyse information more effectively, supports them in routine and time-intensive tasks, and allows even greater focus on the complex, strategic issues that matter most to clients."
Alex Fortescue-Webb, Head of UK and Ireland, Legora, said:
“Brodies set a high bar for this evaluation, and rightly so. The Brodies team was clear from the start about what it wanted: AI that improves the service its lawyers give clients, deployed with the right controls in place. We worked closely with them to deliver exactly that. Brodies joins a growing customer base for Legora in Scotland, and we look forward to continuing that work with the firm as we grow in this market."
The partnership reflects Brodies' commitment to responsible innovation and to investing in tools that support the delivery of first-class legal advice and client service. Legora is used by more than 100,000 legal professionals at more than 1,800 law firms and in-house legal teams across over 50 markets.
