Building in AI means throwing away work you're proud of when the models improve. That changes how we build things. Your platform can’t be anchored, it has to be built with low ego and move with the tide. Listen to the chat with @chetanp and @jaltma youtube.com/watch?v=DdHl7d…

Today, we announced our acquisition of Walter AI. They’ve built agent-native systems alongside lawyers that handle real workflows. We share the same blueprint for the future - and I'm excited to welcome the Walter team to @WeAreLegora! legora.com/newsroom/legor…

Big day at @WeAreLegora! We have raised $550 million at a $5.55 billion valuation in a Series D funding round, led by @Accel, to accelerate expansion across the United States. To all our customers and partners, this celebration is as much yours as it is ours.

It was a pleasure to sit down with @TECHBLITZ_JP to discuss what we’re building at @WeAreLegora, our plans for Japan, and where we’re headed next. Full interview: techblitz.com/startup-interv…

Take matters into your own hands. The @WeAreLegora mobile app is live in the App Store and on Google Play.

We’re partnering with @Pinsent_Masons: A firmwide strategic partnership bringing @WeAreLegora to 1,000 lawyers, with ambitions to expand even further. We're excited to support the team as they scale AI across the firm. legora.com/newsroom/pinse…

Grateful to collaborate with the team at @KLGates K&L Gates didn’t just test @WeAreLegora – they operationalized it. Across practice areas, regions, and teams, their partners led from the front, embedding AI into the real work of law. Full story: legora.com/newsroom/k-l-g…

I’m not much of a golfer. But it’s hard not to admire the talent, determination, and consistency it takes to compete, and win, at the highest level. I'm proud to share that @WeAreLegora has entered its first-ever sports collaboration with world-leading golfer Ludvig Åberg.

The energy at HQ this week is off the charts. All 300+ @WeAreLegora teammates from around the world are together in Stockholm for our Global Summit. I'm privileged to spend the coming years with this team, bringing Legora into the hands of leading legal teams across the globe

I’m ecstatic to welcome David Eckstein to Legora as our Chief Financial Officer. David brings an incredible track record of helping technology companies scale at pivotal moments - just like the one we’re in right now. legora.com/newsroom/legor…

The story of Legora is absolutely nuts. A couple of kids from Sweden decide to upend the AI legal market. Raise $50K in angel funding and the journey begins. @ycombinator beckons and with the advice of @gustaf they raise a stellar “seed” round from @chetanp @benchmark In a matter of weeks, they raise a Series A from @loganbartlett @redpoint Then, the first board meeting comes and they tell their VCs, one thing, we will not be selling anything for the next 6 months. NOTHING. Today, less than two years later: $2BN valuation $200M+ raised from top VCs $50M+ ARR (latest reported) 300 employees in US and Europe The best shows are art (storytelling) and science (frameworks). This has both off the charts.

Always a pleasure speaking with my friend @HarryStebbings on the @20vcFund podcast. We covered a lot in this episode – including how, back in 2024, I told our board that @WeAreLegora wouldn’t sell anything for six months... Link to full interview in the comments.

Excited to share a major step for legal innovation in India: @WeAreLegora is partnering with @manupatrainfo in an exclusive agreement to bring Manupatra’s premier legal research content directly into the Legora platform. legora.com/newsroom/legor…

Legora is expanding rapidly in APAC – in close collaboration with key partners, such as @minterellison and @AllensLegal. Our Head of APAC & Japan, Heather Paterson, joined @Bloomberg yesterday to talk about the momentum in the legal sector Down Under.

One of the biggest lessons for me this year: product velocity compounds. Each release makes the next one faster. Learning improves, the process tightens, and the product gets easier to ship – so the pace improves, not just the outcomes. I'm proud of what we built this year!

We added $7 million in additional ARR in the last 24 hours. That’s more than our total combined ARR in 2023 and 2024. Huge credit to our customers for their trust, and to the @WeAreLegora team for executing with focus, passion and urgency. On to 2026!

@WhiteCase is rolling out @WeAreLegora globally. 43 offices. 29 countries. One of the world’s leading firms – now deploying Legora with a clear goal: delivering world-class outcomes for clients at a global scale. Full story: legora.com/newsroom/white…

It was great to speak with @ollieforsyth on the NEW ECONOMIES podcast – thank you for the invite and for such a sharp conversation. Listen to the full episode here: neweconomies.co/p/he-built-a-1…

I had a great time speaking with @TomMackenzieTV at the @Bloomberg studio the other week. We talked about the momentum in the legal AI market this year – and I was excited to see research highlighting @WeAreLegora as the most-used legal AI platform among the UK’s top firms.
