Choosing the right legal AI solution: a practical guide – Legora
As legal AI adoption accelerates, many legal teams are asking the same question. Not whether to explore AI, but how to evaluate it properly.
Choosing the right legal AI solution: a practical guide was created by Sebastian Peters, Legal Director at Legora, to help law firms and in-house legal teams navigate a crowded, fast-moving market with clarity and confidence. Rather than focusing on individual products or features, the guide takes a practical, vendor-agnostic view of how legal AI is being used today and what actually matters when assessing different solutions.
Built for real legal workflows
The guide looks at how legal teams are using AI to review faster, draft more consistently, and make better decisions, while maintaining quality and managing risk. It breaks down common use cases, where AI delivers clear value, and where expectations should be set carefully. The focus is not on experimentation for its own sake, but on applying AI in ways that support real legal work.
From interest to informed decision making
Beyond use cases, the guide walks through the steps that often determine whether AI initiatives succeed or stall. It covers how to frame a credible business case, how to align legal, IT, risk, and leadership early, and how to move from curiosity to structured evaluation. For teams planning pilots or broader rollouts, it offers guidance on setting scope, defining success, and avoiding common pitfalls.
Evaluating vendors with clarity
One of the most challenging parts of legal AI adoption is vendor evaluation. The guide provides a clear framework for comparing tools beyond the demo, including output quality, transparency, integration, security, and the strength of the implementation team. It also explains how different solutions are built and why those differences matter in practice, helping teams make more objective, informed comparisons.
A practical reference, not a sales pitch
Written from the perspective of someone who has been on the buying side, the guide is designed to be a neutral, practical resource. It does not promote specific vendors or platforms. Instead, it aims to give legal teams a clear framework they can apply immediately, whether they are just starting to explore AI or already deep into vendor discussions.
