What happened

The round was led by Atreides Management, with new investors including Baron Capital, Capital Group, Fidelity Management & Research Company, Glade Brook Capital Partners, and J.P. Morgan, alongside existing investors. Legora said the capital will fund accelerated growth in North America and investment in its agentic capabilities.

Legora is a Sweden-based legal AI company whose product helps lawyers research, review, and draft documents. The United States is now its largest market by revenue, the company said; it opened its first U.S. office in New York in March 2025 and has since added offices in Denver, Chicago, Houston, and San Francisco, and now employs more than 1,000 people.

AI is changing the role of the lawyer, with more time for judgment and advice, and it is reshaping how law firms and in-house legal teams are organized and how their work gets done.
