Key points
- Legora raised $550M in October, doubling its $5.55B valuation from March, now at $8.8B
- Over 1,800 customers use its AI agents for drafting, contract review, and workflow automation
- Team of 100 engineers and legal experts evaluates agents via simulated legal tasks, not real client data
Legora’s product suite includes drafting and editing tools, contract reviews at scale, and workflow coordination between lawyers, clients, and AI agents. The company avoids direct client data access, instead simulating legal tasks in controlled environments—like a 10,000-file due diligence data room—to evaluate agent performance. Its team of 100 engineers and legal experts (many with backgrounds in big law and CS degrees) focuses on refining AI models for niche tasks, such as legal research, while relying on open-weight models for specialized functions. The platform runs on Azure due to strict data privacy requirements in the legal industry.
