Legora bets on closer firm-client collaboration with 'Portal' launch

Legora has launched a new collaborative workspace for law firms and their clients, in its latest move to shake up how legal services are delivered in the AI age.

The new product, called Portal, is designed to help firms and in-house teams work together in real time - likened by co-founder Max Junestrand to how design platform Figma changed the way designers collaborate on projects.

It lets lawyers and clients upload documents in bulk, build firm-specific AI workflows for tasks like contract review, and share live updates without the back-and-forth of email.

From static to dynamic

Junestrand told us Portal is about helping firms move away from delivering "static" end products to clients, towards a more dynamic and interactive approach.

"For over 30 years, lawyers have relied primarily on email for client collaboration, resulting in buried documents, countless versions, endless searching through Outlook, and fragmented communication," the company said. "Legora Portal eliminates these inefficiencies with a white-labeled, permission-driven user experience that centralises all matter-related work in one secure, intuitive platform."

The product is designed to allow firms to "productise" their knowledge by embedding their expertise into white-labelled tools that clients can use directly - effectively turning the firm’s know-how into an AI-powered extension of the business.

Kyle Poe, Legora's VP of legal innovation and strategy - who recently joined the company from Morgan Lewis where he was a partner - said Portal marks a fundamental shift in how legal services are delivered. "The firms that embrace this approach will be the ones leading the industry in five years," he said.

Law firm momentum

The launch caps a red-hot few months for the Stockholm-founded startup, which has become one of the most talked-about names in legal tech.

Legora recently announced a $150 million fundraise at a $1.8 billion valuation, and has seen a run of major customer sign-ups including Linklaters, BCLP, Dentons and Taylor Wessing.

Portal is currently in its design partnership phase with a group of firms including Linklaters, Cleary and Goodwin, with wider rollout expected in early 2026.
