Max Junestrand, CEO and co-founder of Legora, said the Walter team had built a product that reflected a shared philosophy around agent-native design. He said Walter had approached legal AI the same way Legora has
The acquisition expands Legora's vision for a fully agentic experience for lawyers. In this vision a single AI agent executes complex multi step legal workflows end to end from Outlook intake through DMS research, multi document editing and blacklining to client replies. Paired with Walter's established relationships at major Canadian law firms with offices across the country, the acquisition positions Legora to expand its presence in the Canadian market while accelerating its broader vision for agentic legal AI globally.
Walter's product development process was shaped through a joint innovation program with Fasken and McCarthy Tétrault.
The outcome is an agentic platform capable of executing complex multi step legal workflows, delivering industry leading document editing and agentic integrations with core firm systems such as iManage and Outlook.
Leading the Walter team are Ryan Wilson, CEO, a multi exited founder who has built and sold five companies across payments, healthcare, cybersecurity and vertical SaaS, and Greg Bell, Principal Engineer, who brings deep infrastructure expertise as a former General Manager of Amazon S3.
Wilson said it was clear the teams had a shared vision for the future of agentic legal technology.
