European law firm Fieldfisher is rolling out the Legora legal AI platform to around 1,400 lawyers and business services professionals across its international offices, after a six-week pilot with 137 users in the UK and wider Europe.

The firm announced the firm-wide deployment on 5 November 2026. Legora, which describes itself as an agentic operating system for legal professionals, will be used for research, review and drafting across practice areas including dispute resolution, corporate, technology and data, and regulatory work.

Pilot led to firm-wide decision

The decision followed a six-week pilot in which 137 people in Fieldfisher's UK and wider European offices used Legora on their day-to-day work. The firm said the pilot showed the platform could support substantive legal work in a matter-based environment adapted to each practice area and jurisdiction.

The rollout will be led from Fieldfisher X, the firm's global AI hub in Berlin, which was set up in September 2025. The hub is led by Doron Faibish, the firm's Director of AI, working with the firm's AI Board under Dr Jan Wildhirth, partner and managing director of Fieldfisher X.

Legora's legal engineers will work with Fieldfisher's AI team to turn the firm's knowledge into shared workflows and tools that offices can reuse, alongside role-based training for staff.

Part of a wider legal AI race

The move comes on the same week as a rival announcement from Addleshaw Goddard, which is deploying the Harvey legal AI platform to more than 3,400 lawyers and staff. The two announcements, reported together on 10 November, underline how quickly large law firms are moving from testing AI tools to firm-wide adoption.

Harvey agreements are already in place at firms including A&O Shearman and Slaughter and May, while Legora is used at Linklaters and other large firms, and Freshfields has partnered with Anthropic. Fieldfisher said it now joins Legora's customer base of more than 2,300 organisations, covering over 130,000 legal professionals in more than 80 markets.

What the firm wants from the rollout

Fieldfisher set out three priorities for its global AI strategy: embedding AI in the delivery of legal services, developing new AI-based legal products, and improving the efficiency of corporate services. The Legora deployment falls under the first of these.

Dr Wildhirth said the aim was to make legal AI a core capability of the firm, used in a way that improves how legal services are delivered, helps develop new offerings, and gives the firm better evidence of where AI creates value.

The firm, which has offices in 14 countries, said the rollout would be coordinated across its international network, with practice groups and local offices involved in shaping how the platform is used in each jurisdiction.

Neither Fieldfisher nor Legora disclosed the financial terms of the deal. The announcement also did not set a date for the rollout to be complete across all offices.
