Legora, the collaborative AI platform for legal professionals, has raised $150 million in a Series C round at a $1.8 billion valuation, led by Bessemer Venture Partners with strong participation from existing investors ICONIQ, General Catalyst, Redpoint Ventures, Benchmark, and Y Combinator.
The funding will fuel global expansion, accelerate product development, and scale Legora’s team worldwide.
Transforming How Lawyers Work with AI
Demand for Legora’s AI-powered legal platform has surged over the past six months. Since May 2025, the company’s customer base has grown from 250 to over 400 organizations, while its market footprint has expanded from 20 to more than 40 countries.
Today, tens of thousands of lawyers at leading law firms and enterprises — including Linklaters, Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, and MinterEllison — use Legora daily to research, draft, and collaborate more efficiently.
“We’re seeing unprecedented adoption from legal professionals worldwide,” said Max Junestrand, co-founder and CEO of Legora. “AI is becoming an integral part of how lawyers work, and we’re proud to empower that transformation. This new funding enables us to push further on our vision: enabling the lawyer of the future through seamless collaboration between human and machine intelligence.”

Redefining Legal Practice Through Collaboration
The company’s growth is rooted in its collaborative approach — building AI systems with legal professionals rather than for them. From onboarding to large-scale deployment, the firm partners closely with clients to align AI solutions with firm-specific workflows and security needs.
This partnership model has positioned Legora as a trusted advisor in legal innovation, driving measurable productivity gains and transforming how legal teams operate.
“Legora exemplifies the next generation of AI companies — not just optimizing workflows, but redefining how entire professions work,” said Sameer Dholakia, partner at Bessemer Venture Partners. “Their platform goes beyond automation to elevate the craft of law itself. Max and his team have built a company with the customer obsession and product excellence to lead AI transformation in a trillion-dollar industry.”
Expanding Globally to Meet Soaring Demand
Headquartered in Stockholm, the startup also operates offices in London, New York, Denver, and Sydney, employing nearly 200 lawyers, engineers, and AI specialists. The company plans to double its team in 2025, open additional hubs, and invest heavily in R&D to further enhance its platform’s reasoning, drafting, and compliance capabilities.
“Legora is fast becoming the go-to partner for legal professionals around the world,” added Junestrand. “We’re making legal work easier, faster, and more rewarding — but this is only the beginning. The journey ahead will demand focus, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to our customers.”
