Legora, the fast-growing collaborative AI platform built for legal professionals, has secured $80 million in Series B funding, catapulting the company to a $675 million valuation less than two years after its founding.
The round was led by ICONIQ Growth and General Catalyst, with continued participation from Redpoint Ventures, Benchmark, and Y Combinator—underscoring strong investor confidence in Legora’s rapid rise, product excellence, and global traction.
Founded by Max Junestrand, Legora is reshaping legal workflows across 20 countries and 250 law firms and legal teams. From high-speed legal research and contract drafting to seamless collaboration, the platform is now a critical tool for some of the world’s most prestigious firms, including Cleary Gottlieb, Bird & Bird, Goodwin, Mannheimer Swartling, and Perez-Llorca.
“This investment is a clear validation of the value our product is delivering to lawyers around the world,”
said Junestrand.
“We weren’t actively seeking funding, but the momentum we’ve built naturally drew strong interest. With ICONIQ and General Catalyst joining the journey—and Seth [Pierrepont] and Jeannette [zu Fürstenberg] joining our board—we’re excited to double down on innovation and client collaboration.”
Legora’s unique approach—developing its AI with lawyers rather than for them—has driven widespread adoption. Its deep integration into day-to-day legal work, from junior associates to managing partners, ensures both rapid onboarding and tangible results. Tasks like data room reviews that once took weeks are now handled in hours, with increased accuracy and significantly less billable write-off.
The company’s growth has been matched by geographic expansion. Already a dominant presence in the UK and Europe, Legora opened a U.S. office in New York in April 2025. Operating across New York, London, and Stockholm, its team now includes 100 employees recruited from elite law firms and leading technology companies.
“From our first conversation with Max and Sigge, it was clear they were building something extraordinary,”
said Seth Pierrepont, General Partner at ICONIQ.
“Legora doesn’t just slot into legal workflows—it transforms them. It’s already a trusted solution across hundreds of teams worldwide, and we believe it’s on track to define the future of legal work.”
Jeannette zu Fürstenberg, Managing Director and Head of Europe at General Catalyst, added:
“AI is redefining the legal industry, and Legora is at the forefront of that shift. With an outstanding product, top-tier clients, and a founder with razor-sharp product instinct, Legora is changing how legal work gets done.”
Legora’s value is already being realized by its clients. Mary O’Carroll, Chief Operating Officer at Goodwin, commented,
“Legora represents exactly the kind of strategic technology investment that keeps Goodwin at the forefront of legal excellence. We’ve been very pleased with the early results and look forward to ongoing improvements in how our teams deliver insights and services.”
As AI continues to transform the legal landscape, Legora is positioning itself as not just a product—but a partner—helping lawyers around the world work faster, smarter, and more confidently.
“AI is a historic opportunity for the legal profession,”
Junestrand concluded.
“We’re committed to building a platform that continually evolves to meet the needs of our clients and to help them stay ahead—now and for years to come.”
