Salesforce Selects Legora for Global Legal Teams
Salesforce has chosen Legora to enhance the capabilities of its legal teams across the United States, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region. This decision is particularly significant given Salesforce's history of developing its own legal technology applications for internal use.
Erica Swainson, Vice President of Legal Innovation and Strategic Initiatives at Salesforce, stated that artificial intelligence is transforming the operational landscape for legal teams. With the integration of Slack and Agentforce, Salesforce aims to create an AI native, trust first legal function that allows its team to work more efficiently and concentrate on high impact tasks.
Swainson added that incorporating Legora into their transformation portfolio provides additional legal tools that assist with research, drafting, and various workflows, enabling legal professionals to dedicate more time to tasks that necessitate their expertise and judgement.
Max Junestrand, Chief Executive Officer and Co Founder of Legora, noted that Salesforce's adoption of Legora signifies a broader trend among in house legal teams towards embracing agentic AI as a vital component of their operational infrastructure.
This global rollout of Legora is particularly noteworthy for a company like Salesforce, which has historically prioritised leveraging its own technological and AI capabilities for its legal team. The decision to implement Legora suggests that the platform offers functionalities similar to those already developed in house, marking a significant achievement for the Stockholm based company.
Salesforce's extensive network, connecting with thousands of other companies, further amplifies the importance of this partnership for Legora.
