Premier South African law firm Webber Wentzel has announced a multi-faceted partnership with leading legal AI platform Legora. The Legora platform has been rolled out across the firm – and this marks just the start of a deeper, long-term collaboration.
As part of the partnership, Legora will also serve as the first official anchor technology in Webber Wentzel’s Innovation Lab, marking the start of a co-development journey to design solutions purpose-built for the South African and broader African legal markets.
The partnership follows a year-long evaluation of Legora, which included stringent security-first testing and assessment against other AI platforms. After extensive engagement and positive feedback from Webber Wentzel’s legal and business teams, Legora was selected to be deployed at scale across the firm.
At the heart of this partnership is a shared vision: collaborating to create legal technology that is not retrofitted from foreign markets but is designed from the ground up for Africa’s operational, cultural, and regulatory realities. Through the partnership, Webber Wentzel will serve as Legora’s marquee design partner for Africa.
This collaboration will ensure mutual value creation with co-development as its core. Webber Wentzel professionals will be able to shape, test, and refine tools in real time to create solutions that truly meet the specific needs of the African legal environment.
