Debevoise’s Launch of STAAR 2.0 Featured by Legaltech News

10 March 2026

Debevoise & Plimpton LLP’s launch of STAAR 2.0, the latest version of the firm’s client-facing AI advisory platform, has been featured by Legaltech News (Law.com). STAAR 2.0 is built with Legora’s Portal architecture, which converts the knowledge gained from five years of advising over 100 clients on complex AI-related regulatory, compliance, and transactional matters into a practical, searchable workspace.

The article highlights the challenge of delivering large volumes of AI insight to clients so they can scale AI adoption quickly and safely. Avi Gesser, Co-Chair of the firm’s Data Strategy & Security Group and head of the AI Practice, noted in the article that STAAR 2.0 enables users to ask natural language questions and receive answers drawn from the platform’s underlying materials.

“Lots of firms have great content. To take that content and get it into a format that is generic, nonoverlapping, and in the format the model likes and understands is very hard to do.”
