BDO Abogados adopts Legora AI platform
BDO Abogados has completed the implementation of Legora, a legal AI platform designed to reduce time spent on repetitive tasks and allow lawyers to focus on strategic advisory work. The project, which began in October 2025, was coordinated by the firm’s legal operations department.
The decision to adopt the technology followed an internal analysis in which the firm identified its specific operational needs, evaluated available market options, and conducted a cost-benefit study. The rollout was structured in phases, with tailored training sessions delivered to each department to facilitate integration of the tool.
Since deployment, the platform has achieved an adoption rate of over 90% among professionals, with all users indicating they would miss the tool if it were removed. Legora is applied to tasks including document review, legal research, and drafting — processes that are now completed in less time, freeing lawyers to dedicate more attention to complex, client-facing matters.
Key voices
Ignacio Legido, managing partner of the legal area at BDO Abogados, stated that the firm’s commitment is to ensure all professionals become native AI users, integrating the technology naturally into their daily work.
Javier Gómez Ferrer, partner of legal operations at BDO Abogados, noted that Legora transforms service quality by freeing up lawyers’ time, enabling greater focus on strategic analysis, a deeper understanding of each client’s needs, and more precise solutions for complex matters.
Laura Paz Ramírez, director of legal operations at BDO Abogados, emphasized that artificial intelligence does not replace the lawyer but redefines the role by enabling anticipation of scenarios and a more strategic outlook. Each step of the project was designed to transform how teams work, with a management model built to ensure long-term evolution.
