The Problem Solvers | Max Junestrand at Legora

Legora is the AI-native operating system, where legal teams can autonomously plan, execute, review, and complete complex legal work end-to-end. Max Junestrand says one of the oldest jobs in the world is interpreting law. Today he’s approaching that role with responsibility. In an industry where prior technology changes introduced only incremental ways of working, Max is taking a strategic bet that every new model release "raises the tide" significantly. Legora's motivation is to build boats for everyone else. With Anthropic, they’re shaping what the industry can look like when the next tide comes in.

EVERY SPOKEN WORD

  1. MJ

    We are all experiencing this massive propulsion for the first time in history, and I think what's really exciting for us is we get to be at the heart of the legal industry.

  2. SP

    Right.

  3. MJ

    That is actually one of the oldest jobs in the world, interpreting the law and how we're gonna structure our society, and I think that carries with it a lot of responsibility. [upbeat music] Legora is the place where legal work happens.

  4. SP

    Mm.

  5. MJ

    Whether that's done by a human or by an agent or in collaboration. We help legal work move faster with reviews, drafting, and research, and we bind all of this together into a single cohesive workspace. [upbeat music]

  6. SP

    Why are Claude models specifically good for Legora?

  7. MJ

    A lot of the, uh, nuance in drafting and reviewing i- is very context specific. You wanna match the style of the existing document. You might wanna match the style of that lawyer in particular. And there we found the Claude models, especially Opus, extraordinarily good at the sort of fine drafting. This is profoundly changing the legal industry because no technology before has ever been able to work with language and reasoning like large language models. The very cool thing for us is that with each new model, new capabilities are unlocked. [upbeat music] What's happening right now is every, every third month you guys come out with something new, and it's very exciting. And it sort of raises the, the tide, if you will.

  8. SP

    Mm-hmm.

  9. MJ

    And so we're thinking a lot about how do we build the boats on top of that rising tide so that, you know, our system gets better-

  10. SP

    Yeah

  11. MJ

    ... with every new model release. And we certainly saw this when we started embedding more and more of, of the Anthropic models into Legora. This, uh, exchange of ideas, what's working, what's not working, where do we need to push further, that has been incredible. [upbeat music] I think when I look at differentiation, it's about how do we make sure that Legora has the highest velocity out of any company in the industry, so that if you place a bet on us and your firm or legal team goes all in on Legora, we're going all in on you. You're picking a software partner, an AI partner. The people who can harness the power of AI will do so much more in the future, and the sort of constraints about how much you can do is starting to disappear. [upbeat music]
