Legora uses GPT-6 Astra to improve accuracy, completeness, and reliability; final assessment remains with legal professionals. Used by more than 100,000 professionals across more than 1,800 in-house legal departments and law firms in more than 50 markets, the platform is adapted to workflows ranging from contract review to legal research. As part of a financial statement reconciliation, Agent reviewed 41 documents in a single run within minutes, compared balances with supporting schedules, identified discrepancies, and logged every check. According to Legora’s BAR evaluation, GPT-6 Astra improved performance in this workflow by approximately 40% compared with the previous model; the average improvement across all tasks was approximately 3%. The system found all four errors inserted into the spreadsheets, including the £500,000 discrepancy in the revenue note. It also retained all the checks the previous model had performed correctly and carried out approximately 50 additional checks. Legora is expanding its approach to auditing, tax, compliance, and risk.
Why it matters
This use case shows that generative AI is being evaluated in the legal field not only for text generation but also for control processes spanning numerous documents. Particularly for audit, tax, compliance, and risk teams, recording the checks performed is as important as finding errors in terms of the traceability of the workflow. However, the verification of results by legal professionals indicates that the system is not being positioned as a tool that makes decisions on its own. The retention of the previous model’s correct checks and the completion of additional checks suggest that the performance improvement was not limited to speed alone. The open question is whether this approach will deliver the same level of results across different legal workflows and how human oversight will be maintained in practice.
