Legora is looking to bag more revenue by targeting governments and public sector bodies – all funded by you and me. Leading the charge will be Lucy Frazer KC, a former Cabinet minister and twice Solicitor General, who started as an advisor to the company in July, but will now expand her role.
Legora told AL that she will be ‘part-time, but working most of the week in the London office’.
The legal AI company added: ‘She will lead the company’s work with the public sector to build partnerships with governments and public agencies globally. That means helping government legal teams, regulators, local authorities and the courts use AI they can trust at scale, and making sure what they need continues to shape how the platform is built.’
The move makes sense. Governments have a great track record for shelling out millions for IT projects 🙂

The Courts also need help, Legora noted, especially in the UK. They said: ‘In England and Wales, for example, the Crown Court backlog reached a record 80,829 cases at the end of June 2026, more than double pre-pandemic levels. General AI tools are adding to the strain in tribunals globally as they make it easier for applicants to bring claims.’
Clio is also targeting the courts as a growth area for its legal AI platform. Clearly there’s a lot to be done there.
Lucy Frazer KC, commented: ‘In government, I worked alongside lawyers, judges and officials under huge pressure and experiencing increasing workloads. I realised that we need to reach for new answers to solve old problems and that can come from technology.
‘The public sector needs to be confident about the AI they adopt: that it is built to the standards public work requires, that it is accurate, auditable and secure. And once adopted civil servants need to be sure that the companies that supply them remain engaged to enable them to implement it and use it to best effect. That is what I want to help bring to the public sector, starting here in the UK and EMEA.’
Max Junestrand, CEO and co-founder, added: ‘Legal has always had more work than lawyers to do it, and nowhere is that clearer than in the public sector. Every decision there has to stand up to scrutiny, so the technology has to as well: every answer can be checked, and a lawyer signs off on the result. That’s how we built Legora. Lucy has seen these pressures from inside government, and I’m glad she’s helping us bring Legora to the places it can make such a big difference.’
Taxpayers thus can now contribute to Legora’s revenues! Rejoice!
