Key points:
- Legora (formerly Leya) raises $80M Series B led by ICONIQ and General Catalyst.

Legal artificial intelligence startup Legora has secured $80 million in a Series B funding round, the company announced Wednesday. The investment, led by ICONIQ and General Catalyst, also included participation from existing backers Redpoint Ventures, Benchmark, and Y Combinator. The raise brings Legora’s total funding to more than $100 million, following a $25 million Series A in July 2024 and a $10.5 million seed round in May 2024.
Formerly known as Leya, the Stockholm-based company rebranded as Legora in February 2025 as it ramped up product development and international expansion. In March, it opened its first U.S. office in New York and rolled out product updates that included a Microsoft Word integration and agentic web search functionality.
“This enables us to double down on what’s always set Legora apart—deep collaboration with our clients—and to scale innovation and accelerate product development,” said founder and CEO Max Junestrand in a press release.
Legora’s platform uses generative AI to assist law firms with document review, drafting, legal research, and other time-intensive tasks. Since February, several major firms including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin Procter, and Bird & Bird have adopted the platform. The company positions itself as a leader in AI-powered legal productivity tools, focused on combining deep legal understanding with scalable automation.
The latest funding also underscores continued investor enthusiasm for legal technology. The Series B is the second legal tech investment from Y Combinator in a single week, following Flo Recruit’s Series A on Tuesday. ICONIQ, another Legora investor, also backs e-discovery giant Relativity, further signaling the firm’s commitment to the legal innovation space.
