Legora, the agentic AI platform for legal professionals, is opening offices in Madrid, Milan, and Paris during Q3 2026, alongside a dedicated engineering hub in London. Hiring across all four locations has begun, with the company targeting a combined EMEA headcount of 700 within the next six to 12 months.

The expansion follows a $600 million Series D in April that valued Legora at $5.6 billion, with Nvidia’s NVentures and Atlassian among the new investors. The company now serves more than 100,000 users at over 1,200 law firms and in-house legal teams across more than 50 markets.

Why these four cities

Spain, Italy, and France were among the earliest European markets to adopt Legora at scale. The company had significant customer traction in all three countries before it had any physical presence there.

“Our customers in these countries have built Legora into the way they work,” said CEO and co-founder Max Junestrand. The new offices will house customer success, go-to-market, and legal engineering teams.

London as the third engineering pillar

The London hub will join existing engineering centres in Stockholm and New York, giving Legora continuous development capacity across three time zones. Junestrand said London’s AI talent pool is shaped by proximity to demanding professional services firms.

“People here have built things that have to perform under real legal and regulatory constraints,” he said. “That’s a different problem from building a consumer product.” UK AI Minister Kanishka Narayan called the hub “a major vote of confidence in the UK’s AI capabilities.”

The competitive landscape

Legora competes primarily with Harvey AI, which was valued at $11 billion in its most recent round. The legal AI market has attracted record capital in 2026, with both companies racing to convert law firm adoption into enterprise-wide platform lock-in.

Legora’s customer list includes Linklaters, White & Case, Cleary Gottlieb, Dentons, Deloitte, and Goodwin. Its platform handles research, review, and drafting across complex matters using agentic workflows that automate entire legal processes rather than assisting with individual tasks.

The scale question

The four new locations bring Legora’s global footprint to 16 cities across four continents, joining Stockholm, London, Munich, New York, Denver, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco, Toronto, Bengaluru, Sydney, Singapore, and Tokyo. Going from its current EMEA headcount to 700 in six to 12 months is aggressive.

The company has not disclosed its current total employee count or EMEA headcount, so the baseline for the 700-employee target is unclear. Revenue figures have not been made public. Legora’s expansion is funded by its $600 million round, but whether the legal AI market sustains the hiring velocity both Legora and Harvey are pursuing will depend on whether law firm adoption translates to durable, recurring revenue at the rates their valuations imply.
