Luminance, the global leader in Legal-Grade™ AI for the enterprise, today announced an expanded partnership with Webber Wentzel Fusion to accelerate adoption across Africa.

Webber Wentzel is one of Africa’s largest law firms and was the first in the region to deploy Luminance across its legal practice in 2017. This partnership takes this long-standing relationship one step further. Webber Wentzel Fusion, the firm’s new applied AI and legal engineering subsidiary, curates a pre-vetted suite of leading legal technology for clients across the continent, and Luminance now sits within that offering.

Legal teams across the region will be able to deploy Luminance’s Legal-Grade™ AI to support and enhance every touchpoint a business has with its contracts, from contract review and risk analysis to due diligence and regulatory compliance. Webber Wentzel will support Luminance’s continued growth across Africa with on-the-ground go-to-market support, advisory services for customers, and local industry expertise.

“Luminance continues to stand out because of their willingness to constantly evolve and elevate their solution in response to technology advances and, critically, customer feedback.  The robustness of its Legal-Grade AI (at the core of the technology) is made more meaningful by their continued agility and willingness to invest in real adoption on an ongoing basis,” commented Aalia Manie, Director at Webber Wentzel Fusion. “The platform offers more breadth, depth and reliability than generic tools, which many legal teams truly need in the age of AI. We’re excited to partner to ensure more and more of our clients benefit from the full value of this solution.”

This partnership deepens Luminance’s growing presence in Africa, following the recent establishment of a dedicated base on the continent as part of the company’s accelerating global expansion.

 “Partnering with Webber Wentzel Fusion is a significant step forward for our Africa operations,” said Jonty Koekemoer, VP Africa at Luminance. “Fusion’s strong understanding of both legal practice and technology adoption makes them an ideal partner as we expand our footprint across the continent. Together, we are ensuring that legal teams can access AI that is not only powerful, but trusted, practical, and built specifically for the legal profession.”
