Legal AI startup Legora raises $550M Series E at $8.8B valuation

Legal AI startup Legora has raised a $550 million Series E round that values the company at $8.8 billion. The company announced the funding on a Wednesday.

Legora builds software that automates and assists with workflow tasks for legal professionals. The raise comes as the legal industry moves beyond AI assistants toward AI services that help lawyers get work done, rather than only answering questions or offering suggestions.

The company's CEO and co-founder is Max Junestrand. He appeared at the HumanX Conference at RAI Amsterdam on September 22, 2026, speaking on a panel titled "How to Disrupt Centuries-Old Industries."

The available text of the report is brief and gives few further details. It does not name the investors in the round, say how Legora plans to use the money, or give figures on revenue, customers or earlier funding. What it does establish is the size of the round and the valuation, which place Legora among the more highly valued startups building AI for the legal sector.
