Fasken is accelerating its legal AI strategy through a new partnership with Legora, adopting the company’s agentic AI platform to support client work across the firm.
The international business law firm said the strategic partnership will see Fasken deploy Legora’s collaborative AI workspace to help lawyers review, analyze and draft across complex matters, while integrating the technology into the tools and systems legal teams already use.
For Fasken, the move represents another step in a broader push to embed artificial intelligence into modern legal practice. The firm said it selected Legora for its breadth of functionality, depth of agentic capability, and enterprise-grade security and privacy standards.
“At Fasken, we view artificial intelligence as an integral part of modern legal practice,” said Clarke Barnes, Fasken’s Firm Managing Partner, in the announcement.
The partnership builds on Fasken’s earlier work with Walter, an agent-native legal AI platform that the firm adopted early. Through a joint innovation program with Walter, Fasken lawyers helped shape the development of the Walter AI Assistant.
Walter was acquired by Legora in March 2026, bringing that technology and Fasken’s early collaboration into the broader Legora platform. Fasken and Legora said they will continue working together to develop and refine agentic AI capabilities for legal workflows.
Legora CEO and Co-Founder Max Junestrand said Fasken’s understanding of the direction of legal AI makes the firm an ideal partner as Legora builds out its platform and expands operations in Canada.
The announcement comes as large law firms continue moving from AI experimentation toward more formal, enterprise-wide adoption. For law firms, agentic AI tools promise to move beyond single-task assistance by helping legal professionals complete multi-step workflows across research, review, drafting and matter management.
Andrea Alliston, Fasken partner and leader of the firm’s Knowledge and Practice Innovation programs, said the partnership is about strengthening legal service delivery while keeping client interests at the centre.
Fasken said its work with Legora will focus on practical, client-centred innovation, with both organizations exploring how agentic AI can improve efficiency, generate deeper insights and support more sophisticated legal work.
Legora describes itself as an agentic operating system for legal work. The company says its platform is used by more than 100,000 legal professionals at more than 1,500 law firms and in-house legal teams across more than 50 markets.
For Fasken, which has more than 900 lawyers worldwide, the partnership signals that AI is becoming a more central part of how the firm expects legal services to be delivered.
As legal AI evolves from drafting support into workflow automation, Fasken’s partnership with Legora places the firm among the Canadian-founded legal organizations actively shaping how agentic tools are deployed in practice.
