Allens has announced two major investments in legal AI platforms — Legora and CoCounsel — as part of its ongoing commitment to delivering greater value and efficiency for clients.
Legora supports advanced use cases and direct client collaboration, and will enable the development of tailored AI solutions through Allens' Innovation & Digital Solutions practice. Allens is the first Australian law firm to partner with Legora.
Thomson Reuters CoCounsel is a legal AI assistant designed to support lawyers to accelerate everyday legal tasks such as reviewing contracts, summarising agreements and conducting legal research.
'We believe the greatest value of technology lies in how it amplifies human expertise,' said Allens Managing Partner Richard Spurio.
'These tools help create more space for the high-impact thinking and solutions our clients expect from Allens, while improving how we collaborate and support them,' he added.
'We are proud to partner with Allens, a firm known for being a leader in innovation and client service. Legora is designed to help law firms build tailored AI solutions that respond to the unique needs of their clients and practices. Allens' commitment to digital transformation makes it an ideal partner for us,' said founder and CEO of Legora Max Junestrand.
'These investments reflect our long-term commitment to innovation that delivers real value — helping clients navigate complexity, move with confidence and stay ahead of what's next. The combination of CoCounsel and Legora, together with Allens' broader investments in AI and digital expertise, will amplify the value we deliver to our clients,' said Allens Chief Innovation and Legal Solutions Office Lisa Kozaris.
'Allens has long been recognised for delivering legal advice of the highest calibre, supported for many decades by Thomson Reuters content and technology,' said Managing Director of Asia and Emerging Markets at Thomson Reuters Vishal Bali.
'We're excited to expand our partnership with new firm-wide access to CoCounsel, Westlaw Precision and Practical Law Search & Summarise, helping their lawyers make confident decisions with much-needed speed, trust and accuracy.'
