“Legal research will be a cornerstone of the legal AI stack, and Qura has built one of the most impressive foundations in the world,” said Max Junestrand, CEO & Co-Founder of Legora. “We evaluated legal research startups globally, and Qura stood out by a wide margin. Their ability to combine deep legal understanding with truly AI-native infrastructure is exceptional. Together, we’re building the world’s best legal research product that works across jurisdictions and sets a new standard for the industry.”

Legal research remains one of the most technically and structurally difficult problems in AI. Only a small fraction of legal data is publicly indexed and accessible to general-purpose AI models. The rest exists behind proprietary publisher systems, fragmented archives, and unstructured sources. Even with access, the complexity of legal hierarchies, evolving case law, and jurisdictional nuance makes accurate reasoning extremely challenging.

Founded in 2023, Qura has rapidly established itself as a category-defining company in legal research by building structured, AI-native legal databases and systems that go far beyond traditional retrieval methods or RAG (Retrieval-Augumented Generation). The result is a product that enables precise, reliable legal reasoning, rather than surface-level search.

Qura has demonstrated the disruptive potential of this approach, winning the trust of law firms that have previously relied only on traditional publishers. The company has also shown early scalability internationally, particularly in competition law, where its product is now live across 27 jurisdictions. Qura’s revenue has grown 40% month-over-month, underscoring strong market demand.

With this acquisition, the Qura team will join Legora’s existing legal research organization and focus on expanding their proven approach to larger markets, including the United States.

“Most attempts at AI legal research fall short because they rely on unstructured data and shallow retrieval techniques,” said Adrian Parlow, VP Product at Legora. “Qura has solved the hardest part: structuring legal information in a way that AI can reason over it reliably. If AI is the car, their data infrastructure is the road system. It enables safe, accurate navigation instead of guesswork. Integrating this into Legora’s platform unlocks a step-change in what legal AI can do.”

Arvid Winterfeldt, CEO of Qura, commented.
“From day one, our ambition at Qura has been to rethink legal research from first principles. We’ve built a system that doesn’t just retrieve legal information but understands it in context. Joining Legora allows us to scale that vision globally, faster. Together, we have the team, technology, and conviction to build the future of legal research.”

The announcement follows a period of exceptional growth for Legora, including surpassing $100 million in annual recurring revenue and reaching a $5.55 billion valuation in its recent Series D funding round. The company now serves over 1,000 leading law firms and in-house legal teams across more than 50 markets.
