NEW YORK, March 10, 2026. Legora, the collaborative AI platform for lawyers, today announced it has raised $550 million at a $5.55 billion valuation in a Series D funding round to accelerate its expansion across the United States. The round was led by Accel, with participation from existing investors Benchmark, Bessemer Venture Partners, General Catalyst, ICONIQ, Redpoint Ventures, and Y Combinator, as well as new investors, including Alkeon Capital, Bain Capital, Firstmark Capital, Menlo Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, Sands Capital and Starwood Capital.
The funding round coincides with Legora’s first anniversary in the United States and follows a series of major customer wins and partnerships, including White & Case, Cleary Gottlieb and Goodwin, underscoring the U.S. as a core growth market as legal teams increasingly embed AI into their workflows at scale.
Commenting on the funding and U.S. expansion, Max Junestrand, CEO and Co-Founder of Legora, said: “Over the past year, the pace of adoption in the U.S. has exceeded our expectations, as leading firms and in-house teams move decisively from experimentation to embedding AI across their organisations. This funding enables us to accelerate our U.S. growth – investing in talent and infrastructure, strengthening our presence in key markets, and ensuring we can support customers on the ground as they integrate AI into their core workflows.”
Less than a year after opening its first U.S. office in New York in March 2025, Legora is expanding its footprint with new offices in Houston and Chicago – two of the country’s most significant legal and commercial hubs – alongside its existing presence in New York and Denver. The company expects to open additional local hubs and grow to more than 300 employees across its U.S. offices by the end of 2026.
“Max and team are relentlessly focused on building the AI operating system for the legal industry,” said Arun Mathew, Partner at Accel. “As in other service industries, work is quickly shifting to end-to-end workflows run by agents, and more of that work is happening on Legora. We’re excited to partner with Legora as they enter this next stage of growth.”
Legora’s growth has been driven by its deeply collaborative approach to developing and deploying AI. The company works side by side with clients from the earliest stages of exploration through full-scale rollout and ongoing optimization, positioning itself as a long-term partner as firms and in-house teams embed AI into mission-critical workflows.
Over the past year, Legora has grown from 40 to 400 team members across Stockholm, London, New York, Denver, Sydney, and Bengaluru. The Legora platform supports tens of thousands of lawyers each day across 800 customers in more than 50 markets.
Max Junestrand, CEO and Co-Founder of Legora, said:
“We’re incredibly grateful to the legal teams who trust us to support some of their most important work, and to the investors who continue to back our long-term vision. This support enables us to continue building technology that empowers lawyers through seamless collaboration between human expertise and machine intelligence.”
