Confidence: Confirmed

Why this matters

Cooley is building AI capability with partners, with Legora in the stack. This is a high-significance signal for buyers benchmarking their panel.

Cooley, Legora, and Y Combinator jointly launched Cooley GO Lab, an AI-powered workspace for startups, debuting exclusively with YC's Summer 2026 cohort. Built on Legora Portal (Legora's white-labeled workflow platform), the tool lets startups query AI agents about their corporate documents, run contracts against market terms, and access Cooley GO's curated knowledge base of startup forms. The initiative marks a new model of delivering legal intelligence directly into company-building workflows — and a full-circle moment for Legora, itself a YC-backed company.

""We're entering a new era in how legal insights are delivered and applied. Having built our firm alongside many of the world's most innovative companies, we understand how quickly they move and what they need to scale. Cooley GO Lab reflects that experience, as our lawyers continue to directly shape and refine the underlying content." — Matthew Bartus, Partner & Global Co-Chair, Emerging Companies & VC Practice, Cooley"
