Sweden-based legal AI startup Legora has been valued at $5.5bn after announcing a $550m Series D fundraise.

The round was led by Accel, with participation from existing investors Benchmark, Bessemer Venture Partners, General Catalyst, ICONIQ, Redpoint Ventures, and Y Combinator, as well as new investors, including Alkeon Capital, Bain Capital, Firstmark Capital, Menlo Ventures, Sands Capital, Starwood Capital and Salesforce Ventures.

The investment will be used to accelerate its expansion across the US.

Legora (formerly known as Leya) was founded in 2023 and has built an AI platform for lawyers.

In the last 12 months, the LegalTech startup has grown from 40 to 400 team members across Stockholm, London, New York, Denver, Sydney, and Bengaluru.

Last year, Deloitte Legal and Legora announced a strategic relationship in the UK that will see the two organisations collaborate to drive the next wave of legal transformation.
