Ex CEO and Co-Founder at Graceview - acquired by Legora (Graceview is now Legora Monitors)

Australia
Joined March 2011
Very proud to continue our mission to make managing regulatory change effortless at @WeAreLegora
Real-time regulatory intelligence is coming to Legora. We’ve acquired Graceview, a regulatory horizon scanning platform that monitors tens of thousands of official sources across 100+ jurisdictions in real time. Regulation is getting more complex, more global, and more consequential, but the tools built to track it haven't kept pace. Graceview changes that, replacing fragmented, noisy monitoring with structured, high-signal intelligence, mapped to the jurisdictions and practice areas that actually matter to each firm. For legal, compliance, and risk teams using Legora, that means moving from spotting a regulatory change to acting on it, without leaving their workflow. legora.com/newsroom/legora-a…

There is no best model. There's a lot of noise about models right now. Who is training them, who owns them, where legal intelligence should live. One question actually matters: what produces the best outcome for the legal task in front of you? That's how we decide things at @WeareLegora. We optimize for the end-to-end outcome on a legal task. The model is one layer of that system, not the system. Models are uneven and the frontier changes almost weekly. One model plans a long job well, another runs deep analysis across thousands of documents. Some have to be told exactly what to do, and some are fine with a vague brief. They all break in different ways. So our lawyers write evals and we test them with the Legora BAR, our benchmark for agentic reasoning. Every model takes every test, and the model that wins gets the work. We post-train when we know it buys our customers better performance on a specialized task. Training is a tool we reach for when it helps, nothing more than that. The intelligence that compounds sits in the orchestration layer. Precedents, review standards, client requirements. That knowledge has to stay editable, auditable and portable. In our system, a changed review standard is an edit that takes effect the same day, with no new model training required. No lawyer should have to worry about which model did the work, any more than they think about which chip is in their laptop. They should only care about the quality of the work. That's what we are focused on. If you want the engineering version of this argument rather than the CEO version, our CPO, Bryan Tsao, and CTO, @jacsebl, take it apart in the video below.

Advancements are constant, surprising, and uneven. There is no best model

For the first time, firms can build compounding engines of institutional knowledge. Those that succeed will become massively more valuable than those that don't.

Legora just acquired Graceview to power regulatory horizon scanning for the world's best legal and compliance teams. Graceview monitors tens of thousands of official regulatory sources across 100+ jurisdictions in real time. That's the kind of coverage that was simply impossible to build manually. Regulation is getting more complex and more global. The tools haven't kept pace. Go ask any compliance partner at a firm operating across multiple jurisdictions how they currently track regulatory change. It's a mess. What Graceview does is replace that noise with structured, high-signal intelligence, mapped to the specific jurisdictions and practice areas that actually matter to each organization. And for legal, compliance, and risk teams using Legora, it means one thing practically: the moment a regulatory change lands, you can act on it, without leaving your workflow. Excited to welcome the Graceview team to @WeAreLegora. legora.com/newsroom/legora-a…

I first came to San Francisco when I was 15, with my dad. He is a programmer. To a teenager from a small island outside of Stockholm, this was the place where the future was being built. We walked into Salesforce East and stood there watching the enormous digital display of moving water. Outside, Salesforce Tower was starting to rise. I remember looking up and thinking it would be pretty sweet to have a tower someday. We are not there yet. What I could not have known is that I would be back years later, having dinner with @Benioff and welcoming @salesforce as a @WeAreLegora customer. Salesforce's Legal and Corporate Affairs organization will now use Legora across North America, EMEA and APAC. Their lawyers keep the judgment calls. We take care of the work around them. We have run on Slack since day one and became Salesforce customers when our sales team outgrew its first CRM, so it is good to have it run in the other direction too. Welcome to Legora, Salesforce. Dad, this one feels special.

Jake and the entire Legora engineering team has built remarkable technology from harnesses, routers, and more. Excited to see Jake share more publicly about the underlying technology that has powered Legora to be one of the fastest growing software companies of all time!
Performance and $$ depend hugely on harness design. In vertical AI, the gains from a great specialized harness >>> gains from more expensive model inb4 kimi has quirks - @runta can you try with a diff model also frontierharness.org/

I have a child at Barwon Heads Primary where a positive case has come to light this evening. We have all already been contacted to isolate and must get tested. A testing centre is being set up at the local CFA and everyone has been assigned a time slot for tomorrow. #COVID19Vic

All negatives in the community so far. @BarwonHealth follow ups and support have been spot on. And people are getting around the family who are dealing with four positive cases in the same house, sending hamper, gifts. #CovidVic

This is a good thing for innovation in Vic. @JaalaPulford really gets it and has regional experience which means the focus wont solely be on Melbourne. Rural and regional have a big role to play in contributing to our success as a startup state. Well done Jaala. @RunwayHQ_Co
Today I’ve been sworn in as Minister for Employment; Innovation, Medical Research and the Digital Economy; and Small Business. I’m excited about the task ahead and acutely aware of the profound difficulty being faced by so many businesses and the people who depend on them.
