The Iron Man Suit for Lawyers: How Legora Is Transforming Legal Work | Leonard Schreij

Description

Will AI replace lawyers — or make them more powerful? Recorded live at Davos, this episode of the Regulating AI Podcast features Leonard Schreij, VP of Revenue at Legora — the collaborative agentic AI platform built specifically for lawyers and in-house legal teams, serving top-tier international law firms, regional players, and enterprises across the world. Legora works with Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, and other leading LLM providers — and has built a zero data retention architecture ensuring that nothing from a client's matter ever leaves their secure environment. Key Topics Discussed: Why the legal industry's biggest AI challenge is not security — it is training and firm-wide adoption. How Legora functions as an Iron Man suit for lawyers: extracting data from thousands of agreements, surfacing risks, drafting memos, and connecting tools into full agentic workflows. Why human-in-the-loop is non-negotiable in legal AI — and why every recommendation must be grounded in a citable source. How Legora counters hallucination: every output links to the exact clause and document it referenced, with visible reasoning. Agentic AI in legal work: how Legora orchestrates its own tools to deliver outputs — and how firms constrain that orchestration to prevent rogue behavior. Why Jevons Paradox means more efficiency leads to more demand for legal services — not less. The new role emerging at law firms: legal engineers, sitting at the intersection of law and technology.
