Building for a profession where time—and trust—are scarce

Founded in Stockholm in 2023, Legora⁠(opens in a new window) is building what CEO and co-founder Max Junestrand calls “the agentic operating system for legal work”: bringing AI into the workflows lawyers rely on every day.

The company started with the insight that legal teams are unusually time crunched, meaning some valuable work doesn’t get done. Think of the junior lawyer told to review an impossible number of contracts overnight and only able to focus on a fraction.

Legora can provide those services “on tap”, which is why Junestrand’s ambition is that every piece of legal work in the world should run on his platform. OpenAI has been part of that journey from the beginning: the release of GPT‑3.5 was the moment many of the legal use cases the founding team had been experimenting with became possible. Today, OpenAI is a key model provider for Legora, powering core workflows across its legal AI platform, from agentic legal work to large-scale document review. Legora builds on new OpenAI model capabilities as they become available, translating advances in intelligence into what lawyers can accomplish with its product.
