Legora develops an AI-native workspace for legal professionals, automating document review, contract drafting, legal research, and client collaboration for law firms and in-house teams. Founded in Stockholm in 2023 as Leya by Max Junestrand, Sigge Labor, and August Erseus, the company passed through Y Combinator's Winter 2024 batch and rebranded to Legora in February 2025. Max Junestrand serves as chief executive.
The company's platform, marketed as an agentic operating system for legal work, combines large-scale document analysis through a tabular review tool, agentic legal research, regulatory monitoring, and add-ins for Microsoft Word and Outlook. Legora counts law firms including White & Case, Cleary Gottlieb, and Goodwin among its clients and operates across more than 15 countries, competing with rivals such as Harvey and Robin AI in the legal AI market.
Legora has raised roughly $866 million since its founding. After a $150 million Series C in October 2025, it raised a $600 million Series D across two closes in 2026: a $550 million first close in March led by Accel at a $5.55 billion valuation, followed by a $50 million extension in April led by Nvidia's NVentures with Atlassian and Insight Partners, lifting the valuation to about $5.6 billion. The company grew from roughly 40 employees to more than 500 across offices in Stockholm, London, New York, Denver, Sydney, and Bengaluru.

Who Legora competes with, and how they differ.
Harvey is Legora's most direct rival for BigLaw and Big Four accounting clients — OpenAI-backed and valued near $11B after a 2026 round, it sells a similarly broad AI research, drafting and workflow assistant rather than a narrower point tool.
1 product reviewed on TopReviewedThomson Reuters competes via CoCounsel, an AI assistant built on OpenAI models and bundled into the Westlaw research subscriptions most large firms already pay for, leaning on incumbent distribution rather than an AI-native product built from scratch like Legora.
5 products reviewed on TopReviewedLexisNexis, owned by RELX, sells Lexis+ AI as an add-on to its existing case-law database, competing on decades of licensed legal content rather than Legora's workspace-centric approach of ingesting a firm's own documents.
1 product reviewed on TopReviewedvLex is an AI-native global case-law research engine, now backed by Clio's balance sheet after Clio's $1B acquisition of it in late 2025, competing with Legora mainly on the research and citation layer rather than full drafting and workflow automation.
