In a major vote of confidence for the legal-tech sector, Legora, a San Francisco–based startup building AI tools for lawyers, announced it has raised $80 million in Series B funding, bringing its valuation to approximately $675 million.

The funding round was co-led by ICONIQ Growth and General Catalyst, with participation from Benchmark, Redpoint Ventures, and Y Combinator. The company plans to scale its platform, expand internationally, and invest heavily in research and development.

Founded in 2021, Legora is riding the wave of AI adoption in professional services. Its collaborative legal AI platform is now used by over 250 law firms across 20 countries, offering tools for document review, legal research, and cross-team collaboration.

“We’re seeing a global shift in how legal work gets done,” said Legora CEO Arjun Mehta. “Lawyers are spending less time on manual review and more time on strategy, thanks to AI tools designed specifically for legal workflows.”

Legora’s core product includes AI-assisted case law research, contract clause comparison, and workflow automation for litigation and corporate law teams. The AI is trained on a custom dataset of legal precedents and client interactions, ensuring domain specificity and accuracy.

With this new capital, the company plans to add features like multilingual legal reasoning, speech-to-brief dictation, and integrations with practice management platforms like Clio and Litify.

As legal firms grapple with increasing complexity, remote teams, and cost pressure, Legora is positioning itself as the “Copilot” for lawyers a phrase increasingly echoed in VC and legal circles alike.
