During this first episode of Beyond Billable, Pim Betist sat down with Chris Williams, Head of Community at Legora—formerly known as Leya. Founded in 2023, Legora has experienced rapid growth, evolving from a 10-person team to a global workforce of 60 within a year. The company has secured over $35 million in funding. Their product is now used by over 200 clients in more than 15 countries, including some of the world's most prestigious law firms. They have thousands of daily active users.
My conversation with Chris sheds some light on the secret behind Legora's success. Legora isn't scaring clients into buying their product. They see their endeavor as a collaborative journey towards artificial general intelligence. They focus on what is actually possible now and nail these functionalities in such a way that anyone can use them.
We discussed three main topics in the following order.
1. What is artificial general intelligence and when will we reach it?
2. What is Legora and how is it beneficial for legal professionals?
3. We end with important advice to legal professionals about AI adoption.
It’s a conversation that not only explores the promise of AI in legal, but also offers grounded, actionable insight into how lawyers can start embracing this transformation—today.
