Legora has launched Skills, a new feature designed to help its AI agent follow the standards, processes and preferences of individual lawyers and legal teams.
Available to all Legora customers, Skills lets users capture instructions that the agent can apply automatically when relevant work arises. The goal is to reduce the gap between an AI-generated draft and work that reflects a firm’s established approach.
In a LinkedIn post announcing the launch, CEO Max Junestrand described a familiar frustration with AI output: “It’s not wrong. It’s just not how we do it here.”
A Skill could specify how a team structures a contract review, which negotiating positions it will concede and in what order, or how correspondence to a client should sound. Users write those instructions in plain language, much as they would brief a new colleague.
According to launch materials, Skills can also include reference documents, templates and examples. The agent can select a relevant Skill automatically, or lawyers can choose one themselves. Multiple Skills can support a single task, combining a team’s writing preferences with instructions for a particular review process.
The launch includes a library of more than 250 Skills developed and tested by Legora’s legal engineers across more than 20 practice areas. Examples include building chronologies from evidence, assessing settlement options and reviewing agreements against established negotiating positions. Skills also works within Legora’s agent in Microsoft Word and Outlook.
Legora says users control which Skills they install, administrators govern organization-wide sharing, and existing matter permissions continue to apply. Junestrand also highlighted versioning and auditability as features intended to support large legal organizations.
The release builds on Legora’s expanding Canadian presence. As LegalTech.ca previously reported, the company opened its first Canadian office in Toronto following its acquisition of Vancouver legal AI startup Walter.
