Overview
- Legora closed a $550 million Series D at a $5.55 billion valuation led by Accel, with Benchmark, Bessemer, General Catalyst, ICONIQ, Redpoint, Y Combinator and new backers including Alkeon, Bain, Firstmark, Menlo, Salesforce Ventures, Sands and Starwood participating.
- One day later, the company announced its first acquisition by buying Canadian startup Walter, with terms undisclosed and the nine-person team joining to accelerate agent-based tools embedded in lawyers’ daily workflows.
- Legora is expanding its U.S. footprint with new offices in Houston and Chicago, adding to New York and Denver, and it targets more than 300 employees across U.S. hubs by the end of 2026.
- The platform runs on large language models, chiefly Anthropic’s Claude, and offers deep integrations with Outlook, Word and leading document systems, serving tens of thousands of lawyers at roughly 800 customers in 50-plus markets.
- The new round marks Legora’s third funding raise in a year and follows an October 2025 valuation of $1.8 billion, as the company scales headcount from about 40 to 400 and contends with rivals such as Harvey and generalist LLM offerings.
