Legora launches offices in Madrid, Milan, and Paris, as well as an engineering hub in London.

      **TL;DR** Legora, valued at $5.6 billion, is launching offices in Madrid, Milan, and Paris and establishing an engineering hub in London, aiming to hire 700 employees in the EMEA region within a year. Current employee numbers and revenue details remain undisclosed.

      Legora, the AI platform designed for legal professionals, is set to open offices in Madrid, Milan, and Paris in Q3 2026, along with a new engineering hub in London. Recruitment in all four cities has started, with a goal of reaching a combined EMEA workforce of 700 within the next six to twelve months.

      This expansion follows a $600 million Series D round in April, which placed Legora's valuation at $5.6 billion, with new investments from Nvidia’s NVentures and Atlassian. The platform currently supports over 100,000 users across more than 1,200 law firms and in-house legal teams in over 50 markets.

      **Why these four cities?** Spain, Italy, and France were among the first European markets to adopt Legora widely. The company had already gained substantial customer engagement in these countries prior to establishing a physical presence there.

      “Our clients in these regions have integrated Legora into their operations,” noted CEO and co-founder Max Junestrand. The new offices are expected to accommodate customer success, go-to-market, and legal engineering teams.

      **London as the third engineering hub** The London facility will complement existing engineering centers in Stockholm and New York, enabling Legora to maintain continuous development across three time zones. Junestrand highlighted that London's AI talent pool is heavily influenced by its proximity to demanding professional services firms.

      “The solutions developed here must function within stringent legal and regulatory frameworks,” he explained. “This poses different challenges compared to consumer product development.” UK AI Minister Kanishka Narayan referred to the hub as a significant endorsement of the UK’s AI prowess.

      **The competitive landscape** Legora primarily competes with Harvey AI, which recently achieved an $11 billion valuation. The legal AI sector has witnessed significant investments in 2026, with both companies striving to convert law firm adoption into comprehensive enterprise solutions.

      Legora’s clientele includes prominent firms like Linklaters, White & Case, Cleary Gottlieb, Dentons, Deloitte, and Goodwin. Its platform facilitates research, review, and drafting across complex legal matters through agentic workflows that automate complete legal processes rather than just supporting isolated tasks.

      **The scale challenge** The addition of these four cities expands Legora’s global presence to 16 cities across four continents, joining existing locations such as Stockholm, London, Munich, New York, Denver, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco, Toronto, Bengaluru, Sydney, Singapore, and Tokyo. Increasing its EMEA workforce to 700 within the next six to twelve months is an ambitious target.

      The company has not shared its current total employee count or the number of employees in the EMEA region, leaving the baseline for the 700-employee goal unclear. Revenue figures remain undisclosed. Legora's growth is fueled by its $600 million funding round; however, the sustainability of the hiring pace that both Legora and Harvey are targeting will depend on whether law firm adoption leads to long-lasting, recurring revenue at the levels their valuations suggest.
