Believes Legora is too expensive for solo users and is losing ground to Harvey and frontier models in big law.
Legora changed how this lawyer organizes work and documents, offers cited and explained results, and integrates with Word, iManage and Outlook, saving time on tasks like searching email.
The author says Harvey and Legora are great tools that give lawyers of varying tech comfort effective results with minimal effort, even if tech-savvy lawyers don't need them.
Legal wrappers like Legora and Harvey were once worthwhile for handling long documents, but improved frontier models make a third-party layer unnecessary.
The author reports quotes for a 50-user firm: Legora at €300 per user per month unlimited or usage-based at under half that, and Harvey at $300 per user per month.
The author reports pre-negotiation quotes for a 50-user firm: Legora at €300 per user per month unlimited or usage-based at under half that, and Harvey at $300 per user per month.
Legora is the standout tool at a big firm, with far fewer hallucinations because it uses only the sources you provide, and it changed the author's mind about legal AI.
Harvey and Legora do not use fine-tuned models, and clients report weak support after onboarding and limited insurance or warranty protection in the contracts.
Legora saves time on routine lease abstraction and clause identification, but struggles with complex title reviews involving local regulatory issues, so test it on routine work first.
Legora's platform is not built for serious retention obligations, has no proper legal hold, and leaves the risk with the firm, so the author will not use it again.
The firm's Legora implementation was a disaster that set it back significantly, got the implementing team fired, and left the firm without a tool for a while.
Legora has started adding a workflow builder of uncertain maturity, and a firm preparing its own playbooks could build its own pipeline instead of subscribing.
In their trials Legora and Harvey added no value on contract analysis, suggested redlines were better in other tools, and both are priced beyond most firms.
The firm is piloting Legora and Harvey side by side, sees Legora as more technically driven and Harvey as sales-heavy, and notes a substantial price difference.
In a trial Legora turned handwritten notes into tracked changes with about 30% success, which impressed the team but is not accurate enough to be transformational.
The author says Legora can do a tabular review of 20 documents in about a minute, versus about 20 minutes when built in-house, and that the effort to build this is underestimated.
An in-house lawyer enjoyed the Legora trial because it offers templates, tabular review and a Word add-in that ChatGPT lacks, and sees little downside in subscribing.
