The platform is currently used by 800 law firms and legal teams.
The investment was led by Accel, with participation from a diverse group of existing and new investors, signaling strong investor confidence in the AI legal tech sector. Legora’s rapid growth is evident in its trajectory, having raised $150 million in October 2023 at a $1.8 billion valuation. Its competitor, Harvey, is also experiencing significant growth, currently valued at $8 billion and seeking $11 billion.
Originally founded in Stockholm and now headquartered in New York, Legora is expanding globally, with offices in Bangalore, London, Sydney, Houston, and Chicago. CEO Max Junestrand highlighted the significant legal spending in the U.S. as a key driver for expansion, noting the company’s team has grown from 40 to 400 members in the past year and plans to exceed 300 employees in the U.S. by the end of 2026.
