Legora announced an $80 million funding round led by ICONIQ and General Catalyst, with continued support from existing investors Redpoint Ventures, Benchmark, and Y Combinator. This latest funding round is a significant endorsement of Legora’s product quality, velocity, and the traction it has achieved globally.
This deal comes as the adoption of legal AI surges worldwide. Legora is at the forefront of this shift, with lawyers across 250 firms and legal teams in 20 markets globally using its platform daily to review and research with precision, draft smarter, and collaborate seamlessly. Legora runs out of New York, London, and Stockholm, with 100 employees drawn from the world’s leading global law firms and tech companies.
Legora’s approach to developing and embedding AI underpins its success. More than just a platform, Legora is a client partner, working alongside them from the first interaction to company-wide rollout and beyond. And this ensures Legora’s solution is intuitively matched to client needs, and that engagement is broad and deep from day one, with the technology embraced by junior lawyers right up to managing partners across enterprises.
By building with lawyers, not just for them, Legora accelerated adoption and delivered immediate value. And its AI platform is making a measurable impact at top law firms and in-house teams, powering multiple work-critical use cases and helping teams get to the heart of key issues in hours rather than days — enabling improved and more confident client responses with less write-offs.
KEY QUOTES:
“The investment is a clear validation of the value our product is delivering to lawyers around the world.

Mary O’Carroll, Goodwin’s Chief Operating Officer
“AI, simply put, is a historic opportunity for legal professionals to get real leverage on their expertise and know-how. We have observed tasks such as reviewing data-rooms go from weeks to hours with no loss in accuracy – making human-machine intelligence and collaboration the de facto way of working. Both law firms and legal teams are already reaping the benefits of these advancements at scale.”
