Legora today announced that David Eckstein has joined the company as Chief Financial Officer, strengthening its executive team as it enters its next phase of international growth.
Eckstein brings extensive experience partnering with leadership teams to help high-growth technology companies navigate rapid expansion and increasing complexity. He joins Legora from Vanta, where he served as CFO for three years and supported the company’s significant growth across new customers, markets, and operating scale.
Prior to Vanta, Eckstein was CFO at Menlo Security, where he helped guide the company through a period of expansion. Earlier in his career, he held senior finance leadership roles at OpenDNS, including during its $635 million acquisition by Cisco, and at Box, as the company prepared for the public markets. He began his career in equity capital markets and technology investment banking at Barclays Capital.
“David brings a rare mix of strategic perspective and operating experience,” said Max Junestrand, CEO and Co-Founder of Legora. “He’s seen firsthand what it takes to support ambitious growth while keeping teams focused on what matters most. As we continue investing in our product and organization, David will be a critical partner to the leadership team.”
As CFO, Eckstein will oversee Legora’s finance, planning, and operational performance functions, working closely with the executive team to support decision-making, investment priorities, and long-term value creation.
“I’m excited to join Legora at a moment when the company is defying gravity,” said David Eckstein, CFO of Legora. “The strength of the product, the pace of customer adoption, and the caliber of the team stood out immediately. I’m looking forward to helping the company make smart, disciplined decisions as it continues to grow.”
Over the past year, Legora has grown from 40 to more than 300 team members across Stockholm, London, New York, Denver, Sydney, and Bengaluru. The Legora platform supports tens of thousands of lawyers each day across 700 customers in more than 50 markets. In 2026, the company expects to continue its rapid expansion, including opening additional hubs.
Eckstein is based in New York and joins the company effective immediately.
