We are Legau

Welcome to Legau, where we are transforming the legal drafting process with technology solutions. Born from the frustrations of seasoned attorneys and inspired by advanced Legaltech ecosystems, we are driven by five core principles:

• Transformational Simplicity: we favor simplicity, believing in its transformative power. We aspire to uncomplicated and intuitive solutions that lead to significant incremental changes. 

• Autonomy with Collaboration: we value a balance between personal autonomy and collective synergy. While we value freedom and independence, we also emphasize collaboration, the sharing of knowledge and experiences, and teamwork. 

• Open Communication: we promote open and horizontal communication, which discourages egos and encourages a collaborative environment. In our space, ideas circulate freely, providing fertile ground for co-creation. 

• Long-Term Culture: we cultivate a long-term vision, oriented towards building businesses and products with impact, substance, and sustainability. We value continuous learning, resilience, adaptability, passion, and openness to new ideas. 

• Focused on Humanized Legal: we are committed to developing solutions that understand and address the specific needs and unique context of attorneys. We strive to promote positive change, delivering rewarding outcomes for attorneys and the community they serve. 

Our journey began with three founders: two experienced attorneys, Luís Alves Dias and Diogo Pereira, and our longtime friend Luís Lopes, a seasoned computer engineer. Diogo Pereira and Luís Alves Dias spent nearly a decade in large international law firms, experiencing firsthand the inefficiencies and pressures of traditional legal practice. Meanwhile, Luís Lopes had a distinguished career in technology, working with startups and large companies. Our founders' shared frustrations and vision for a better legal future led us to explore small projects together.

The pivotal moment came during a trip to Singapore, a hub of Legaltech innovation, where Diogo Pereira and Luís Alves Dias discussed the inevitable digital transformation of the legal sector. Our founders envisioned a tool that would simplify attorneys' lives, reduce their stress, and integrate seamlessly into their routines. This vision laid the foundation for Legau.

At Legau, our vision is to support attorneys through the entire legal drafting cycle - research, planning, creation, and revision. Our product support attorneys from a blank page to a polished document. Our platform integrates with the tools attorneys already use, such as Word and Outlook, and partners with major systems like Microsoft, iManage, and NetDocuments.

The legal industry is undergoing a paradigm shift, moving from a static knowledge model to a dynamic, AI-centered approach. Traditionally, legal drafting was a manual, time-consuming process, heavily reliant on the individual attorney’s ability to find and activate the right information. This static approach placed immense pressure on attorneys to manage vast amounts of data and documents, often leading to inefficiencies and stress.

With generative AI, we are transforming this static knowledge into live, actionable insights. This means attorneys no longer need to spend countless hours sifting through documents; instead, they can interact with an intelligent system that provides proactive suggestions and intuitive commands. This shift not only speeds up the drafting process but also enhances its accuracy and quality, and also reduces stress. 

Generative AI introduces a new paradigm where knowledge is dynamic and ever-evolving. Attorneys can now leverage AI to handle routine drafting tasks, allowing them to focus on higher-level, strategic work. This doesn't diminish the attorney's role; rather, it enhances it, enabling attorneys to deliver higher quality work more efficiently. The AI assists in making informed decisions by providing real-time, contextually relevant information, thereby reducing the cognitive load on attorneys.

At Legau, we are committed to staying ahead of this change. We continuously develop our product to ensure it evolves with advancing technology, meeting the dynamic needs of the legal profession. Our product not only makes drafting faster and more efficient but also aligns with the evolving role of attorneys in the age of AI.

Legau is committed to improving the legal profession by addressing its unique challenges. According to research, attorneys are significantly more likely to suffer from depression and chronic anxiety. Our product is designed to alleviate these pressures, enabling attorneys to manage their workload more effectively and freeing them to focus on tasks they enjoy. By doing so, we aim to create happier, more productive attorneys and, ultimately, more satisfied clients and communities.

Join us at Legau as we continue to innovate and lead the transformation in legal drafting, providing solutions that are not only efficient but also enhance the well-being of legal professionals and of the community they serve. Together, we are building a more collaborative, sustainable, and rewarding future for the legal industry and the community in general.
