ChainThink reports that on March 10, according to TechCrunch, the AI platform for lawyers, Legora, has completed a $550 million Series D round led by Accel, with existing investors Benchmark, Bessemer, General Catalyst, ICONIQ, Redpoint Ventures, and Y Combinator continuing to participate; new investors include Alkeon Capital, Bain Capital, Firstmark Capital, Menlo Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, Sands Capital, and Starwood Capital.
Legora is built on large language models, primarily Claude, but as a platform designed to assist lawyers in handling complex cases, CEO Max Junestrand stated live at the Techarena conference in Stockholm: “While everyone can have their own ‘pocket lawyer’ in Claude, our solution targets different use cases.” Legora focuses on embedding itself into clients’ workflows, and currently, 800 law firms and legal teams are using its platform.
In addition to New York and Stockholm, Legora has offices in Bangalore, London, and Sydney, with plans for further expansion. Meanwhile, alongside completing its Series D funding, Legora has announced the opening of new offices in Houston and Chicago, and intends to establish additional local branches in the future, with the total number of employees across its U.S. offices exceeding 300 by the end of 2026.
