Legora's Quiet Power: The Collaborative AI Reshaping Legal Work
From Basement to Boardroom: A Legal AI Built on Proximity
Legora didn’t emerge from a Silicon Valley lab. It came to life in the basement of a Nordic law firm, co-developed with practicing lawyers solving actual legal problems. That foundational decision to build with lawyers, not just for them, remains at the core of the platform’s approach.
Fast-forward two years: Legora now powers over 250 legal teams across the globe. It recently closed an $80 million Series B led by ICONIQ and General Catalyst, and it has quietly become one of the most trusted AI tools in the industry.
AI That Collaborates, Not Just Automates
Where many platforms focus on automation, Legora focuses on collaboration. Its AI assistant handles tasks like multilingual document analysis, contract markups, and internal memo summaries—all securely, and all while keeping the lawyer in full control. Tabular Review organizes high-volume contracts into structured grids. The Word Add-In puts AI guidance right where lawyers draft. And its Research tool surfaces insights across internal knowledge bases and public sources—not just citations, but usable answers.
CEO Max Junestrand put it best: “AI needs the overlay of lawyers’ judgment, but it gives them a much better way to get to the best outcome.”
Infrastructure for Legal Teams of All Sizes
Whether you’re in Big Law or at a lean boutique, Legora provides leverage. Larger firms use it to increase responsiveness and cut non-billable hours. Smaller firms use it to compete on speed and quality. Mid-market firms are finding a strategic edge they never had before.
And it isn’t just about contracts. Firms are using Legora for chronology creation, redlining, due diligence, research, and more—all from a single entry point.
Accelerating Talent and Redefining the Pyramid
Contrary to fears about junior lawyers being replaced, Legora enables faster learning and higher-impact contributions. “It raises the bar and increases opportunity,” Max said. “We’re seeing firms change how they hire, staff, and grow.”
A Platform Moving at Legal Speed
With nearly 100 employees and teams in Stockholm, London, and New York, Legora has attracted legal and tech talent alike. Every product decision is user-informed. Each feature is co-developed with design partners. The goal isn’t just speed—it’s strategic velocity.
What’s Next for Legora
Looking ahead, Legora plans to double down on product development, regulatory readiness, and deeper integrations into the legal stack. As AI reshapes how law is practiced, Legora is positioning itself not as a disruptor, but as the infrastructure legal teams rely on.
“We aim to supercharge lawyers with technology,” Max told us. “That’s becoming essential for firms looking to stay ahead.”
