Legora Secures $150 Million Series C, Reaching $1.8 Billion Valuation

Legal AI platform Legora has successfully closed a $150 million Series C funding round, elevating the company's valuation to $1.8 billion. Co-founder and CEO Max Junestrand announced the significant milestone, stating, "> Huge day for @WeAreLegora today! We’ve raised a $150M Series C at a $1.8B valuation." The funding round was led by Bessemer Venture Partners, with continued participation from existing investors ICONIQ Capital, General Catalyst, Redpoint, Benchmark, and Y Combinator.

This latest investment will fuel Legora's global expansion and accelerate its product development roadmap. The company, which specializes in collaborative AI for legal professionals, aims to enhance its platform that assists lawyers with reviewing, researching, and drafting legal documents with greater precision and efficiency. Legora plans to more than double its team and establish additional global hubs in the coming year.

The funding round reflects a period of rapid growth for Legora, which has seen its customer base expand from 250 to over 400 since May 2025. During the same period, the number of markets served by Legora has doubled from 20 to more than 40. Prominent law firms and enterprises, including Linklaters, Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, and MinterEllison, are among its growing clientele.

Max Junestrand expressed gratitude to investors and clients, emphasizing the increasing demand for AI in the legal sector. He commented, "We are seeing astronomical demand for our product. Legal professionals across the globe are adopting AI into their work at an unprecedented rate." Sameer Dholakia, a partner at Bessemer Venture Partners, highlighted Legora's transformative approach, noting that the company has "built not just another legal tech tool, but a collaborative AI platform that elevates the practice of law itself."

The legal technology market is experiencing intense competition and significant investment, with Legora positioned as a strong contender. This Series C round brings Legora's total venture capital funding to over $265 million, underscoring the escalating "platform war" within the legal AI industry as companies vie for market dominance.
