At General Catalyst, we believe applied AI should do more than streamline workflows—it should reshape entire industries. That conviction has led us to back companies like Ramp, transforming corporate finance; Integral, modernizing accounting services; and Hippocratic AI, enabling safe AI adoption in clinical care.
Today, we’re excited to announce that General Catalyst is co-leading the $80M Series B investment in Legora—a company reinventing how legal work gets done.
Why Legora?
Legora’s AI platform streamlines high-value, time-intensive legal workflows, including contract review and analysis, document drafting and redlining, legal research, and precedent retrieval. Beyond core legal workflows, Legora is transforming internal operations. Its knowledge system uncovers previously siloed expertise, while its collaboration tools improve how law firm teams and clients work together.
In just two years, Legora has become the trusted AI platform for over 250 law firms, including top-tier global firms like Goodwin, Cleary Gottlieb, and Bird & Bird. Tens of thousands of lawyers across Europe and the U.S. rely on Legora every day.
Based on our conversations with CIOs and managing partners at leading law firms, we’ve seen how Legora is driving industry transformation and shifting mindsets in legal circles—making AI adoption table stakes. Customers tell us they’re seeing faster turnarounds, stronger outcomes, and more repeat business as a direct result. They also consistently highlight a shift in hiring dynamics: top legal talent now expect firms to offer best-in-class AI and a forward-thinking environment.
A European Engine for Legal Innovation
What makes Legora special is not just its stellar growth, but also the cultural change it is driving within the legal industry. At the heart of this transformation is the team. From our first meeting with Max, his product vision and commitment to delivering a delightful customer experience were immediately clear. Legora was built with and for lawyers in multiple countries, with a global vision from the outset. Today, it serves customers across 20 countries—including the UK, Sweden, Spain, and the U.S.—and plans to accelerate its U.S. expansion following the Series B investment. Legora’s success exemplifies how Europe-native AI companies are uniquely positioned to lead globally, navigating multilingual, multi-jurisdictional complexity while remaining rooted in the European principles of privacy, transparency, and accountability.
We’re proud to partner with Max, Sigge, and the entire Legora team as they scale globally and reshape the future of legal work with applied AI.
