Why this matters

Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton has moved past pilots into deployment, with Legora in the stack. This is a high-significance signal for buyers benchmarking their panel.

Sheppard Mullin purchased Legora in November 2025 and rolled it out firm-wide to all attorneys in late February 2026, following a rigorous associate-led pilot program to evaluate its strengths and weaknesses. As of mid-2026, 98% of the firm's associates are using Legora and more than 90% use it at least weekly — the highest named adoption rate published by any firm in this tracker to date. Kate Cain, the firm's Chief Knowledge and Innovation Officer, noted that in nearly 30 years in legal tech she had "never seen uptake numbers like that this early, and sustained."

""Sheppard bought access to Legora last November and pivoted quickly to roll it out across all of our practices at the beginning of the year. Some 98% of associates are using Legora, and more than 90% are using it on a weekly basis. That's significant. I've been working in legal tech for going on 30 years, and I've never seen uptake numbers like that this early, and sustained." — Kate Cain, Chief Knowledge and Innovation Officer, Sheppard Mullin"
