- Problems solved
- I run a small commercial contracts & general counsel practice (AMST Legal, Amsterdam and Stockholm), working as external in-house counsel for Tech, SaaS and Professional services clients. Legora helps me the most with four recurring jobs. 1. Drafting first drafts of contract clauses (I generally don't use it for full conytracts), which I then refine. 2. Negotiation rounds: replying to and explaining comments in a counterparty's markup, where the Word add-in (most valuable part of Legora) lets me review, comment and redline inside the document instead of copying text in and out of a chat window. 4. Highlighting the main risks & issues in a contract with a recommendation how to solve these 4. research on a subject that is new to me, turned into a memo or client email with the right structure and tone. The benefit is that I can do these 4 items much quicker, therefore a lower cost per matter for my clients, while the judgment stays with the lawyer.
- What could improve
- Overall I am happy with it. Three things would make it a much stronger fit for a practice like mine. 1. Ease of use: it is less intuitive than Frontie models like Claude and takes more steps to get to the same result. Document handling is the clearest example: files have to be uploaded and as far as I know there is no way to build/work in folders like in Claude co-work 2. Fit beyond M&A: it seems that (and I hear a lot in the market) that much of the project and workflow functionality is built around due diligence and transactions. I do not do M&A, so for commercial contracting and outside GC work the extra value over a general tool is smaller than it could be, even though I can see the ambition in what is being built. 3. Team access and price: per-seat pricing makes it hard to justify rolling it out to everyone in a small firm, so it stays with one or two users instead of becoming the way the whole team works. Legora is very good inside the document. The gap is everything around the document: folders, matters, team access and price. A small-firm plan, better document (and presentation options) and folder handling, and integration with where our files already live would close most of it.
