Starting with selected user groups across the London-headquartered firm's offices in the UK, Germany, Spain, and the Nordics, Bird & Bird will strive to adopt a wide range of use cases, such as preparing research memos from UK and EU legislation and precedents, bulk reviewing hundreds of agreements, and drafting Due Diligence and Intellectual Property reports.

We believe this partnership is poised to set a new standard in legal service delivery, demonstrating the transformative impact of a platform like Leya, and we look forward to delivering enhanced value to Bird & Bird’s clients globally.
