Crypto World News: On March 10, according to TechCrunch, the AI platform for lawyers, Legora, completed a $550 million Series D funding round, led by Accel. Existing investors Benchmark, Bessemer, General Catalyst, ICONIQ, Redpoint Ventures, and Y Combinator continued their participation; new investors include Alkeon Capital, Bain Capital, Firstmark Capital, Menlo Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, Sands Capital, and Starwood Capital. Built on large language models, primarily based on Claude, Legora positions itself as a platform supporting lawyers in handling complex cases. CEO Max Junestrand stated via live stream at the Techarena conference in Stockholm, “While everyone can have their own ‘pocket lawyer’ within Claude, our use cases are not the same.” Legora focuses on integrating into clients’ workflows, with 800 law firms and legal teams currently using its platform. In addition to New York and Stockholm, Legora has offices in Bangalore, London, and Sydney, with plans for further expansion. Meanwhile, alongside completing its Series D funding, Legora announced plans to open offices in Houston and Chicago, with more local branches to come. By the end of 2026, the total number of employees across all U.S. offices is expected to exceed 300.
