Fieldfisher deploys Legora across its entire network: 1,400 lawyers and professionals will use the legal AI platform

Fieldfisher will deploy the legal artificial intelligence platform Legora across its entire international network: around 1,400 lawyers and business-services professionals will use the tool in their daily work. Legora announced it on 5 November 2026, explaining that the decision follows a six-week pilot in which 137 users from the firm's UK offices and other European offices used the platform in their usual activity.

From pilot to firm-wide deployment

The deployment is led from Fieldfisher's AI hub at Fieldfisher X, its legal operations and technology business based in Berlin. According to the note, Fieldfisher created that global AI hub in September 2025 and appointed Doron Faibish as AI director to execute the strategy set by the firm's AI Board, chaired by Dr Jan Wildhirth. The firm's AI strategy focuses on three connected priorities: integrating AI into core legal services, developing new AI-powered legal products and improving the efficiency of business services.

Legora will support the first of those priorities by providing a specialised environment, organised by matters, for substantive legal work across practices and jurisdictions. Fieldfisher lawyers will use the platform for research, review and drafting in areas such as dispute resolution, corporate, technology and data, and regulation. Teams will be able to entrust multi-step tasks to Legora's Agent, review large document sets in a single table and set up Monitors to track regulatory and legal developments for their clients. Legora's legal engineers will work with the firm's AI team to turn Fieldfisher's own know-how into shared workflows and Skills that any office can use.

How it will be executed: from isolated prompts to governed work

The note details the architecture of the programme. The deployment is led by the Fieldfisher X AI hub in Berlin, working with the firm's AI Board, practice groups and local offices. Fieldfisher and Legora will focus the work on practice-specific use cases, role-based training, shared workflows and continuous enablement. The programme's stated objective is to help lawyers move from isolated prompting to governed, reusable ways of working connected to matters.

The firm will also continue investing in its own AI capabilities - reusable prompts, playbooks, workflows, governance assets and client-facing legal products -, an approach designed, according to the note, to preserve institutional know-how, maintain flexibility and rely on the experience and professional judgment of its lawyers.

Jan Wildhirth, partner and managing director of Fieldfisher X, sums it up: "This is not simply a software deployment. Our goal is to make legal AI a core capability of the firm and use it in a way that improves how we deliver legal services, helps us develop new offerings and gives us better evidence of where AI creates value."

The context: the 550-million-dollar round

The announcement comes a few weeks after the company's big financial news: on 21 October 2026, Legora announced a 550-million-dollar Series E round valuing the company at 8.8 billion dollars (post-money). The round was led by Atreides Management, with participation from new investors such as Baron Capital, Capital Group, Fidelity Management & Research Company, Glade Brook Capital Partners and J.P. Morgan, and from the main existing investors - Accel, Benchmark, Bessemer Venture Partners, General Catalyst, ICONIQ, Insight Venture Partners, Menlo Ventures, Redpoint Ventures, Salesforce Ventures and Sands Capital. The capital funds expansion in the United States and internationally and new investments in its platform. The company then reported ARR above 200 million dollars. Legora, founded in 2023, has thus become one of the highest-valued legaltechs in the world.

What lawyers will use: Agent, review tables and Monitors

The deployment gives the firm access to the platform's core capabilities as described by Legora: an Agent capable of executing multi-step tasks, the review of large document sets in a single table and Monitors to track regulatory and legal developments relevant to clients. The differential element of the agreement, according to both companies, is joint engineering: Legora's legal engineers will work with Fieldfisher's AI team to turn the firm's know-how into shared workflows and Skills, reusable by any office in the network.

That approach - common platform plus the firm's own assets - summarises the current debate of large law: buying technological capacity from third parties without giving up the differentiation built on one's own knowledge.

What the six-week pilot teaches

The pilot data is significant for its design: six weeks with 137 users in UK offices and other European offices, working with the platform in their usual activity rather than in a test environment. That format - limited time, real users and real work - is what allows a firm to measure adoption and value before committing to a general deployment, and explains why the final decision was to extend it across the entire network.

Why it matters to the Spanish market

The Fieldfisher deployment is a case study of the AI adoption pattern in large firms: a bounded pilot with measurement, a centralised AI hub and a firm-wide deployment with proprietary workflow engineering. For Spanish firms - where the conversation about generative AI is already budgetary and not exploratory -, the move consolidates Legora as one of the emerging standards of agent-assisted legal work, in competition with other platforms in the segment. And for Spanish legaltechs, the valuation reached by a company founded in 2023 marks the current ceiling of the market and the speed at which sector rounds move.

The scale of the agreement - 1,400 professionals in an international network - places it among the largest firm-wide deployments announced to date by a legal AI platform, and reinforces the 2026 trend: large firms no longer buy pilots, they buy infrastructure.
