Legora, the agentic AI platform for legal professionals trusted by more than 1,200 leading law firms and in-house legal teams across over 50 markets, today announced the opening of offices in Singapore and Tokyo. Combined with Legora's existing presence in Sydney, the expansion establishes the company across the full breadth of Asia-Pacific.
"The conditions in Asia-Pacific right now — record M&A volumes in Japan, Singapore's position as the arbitration and deal hub of the region, a legal services market that rivals the EU in scale — make this the right moment to commit fully. We see a significant opportunity, and we intend to lead in it," said Max Junestrand, CEO and Co-Founder of Legora.
Japan is one of the world's largest legal services markets by revenue. Legora already serves customers in Japan. The Tokyo office positions Legora at the center of a deal market that is structurally integrated with the US corridor Legora already covers, serving both the international firms advising on outbound Japanese transactions and the domestic firms handling the inbound.
Singapore serves as the regional headquarters for most Magic Circle and leading US firms operating in Asia-Pacific, as well as the home to SIAC — one of the world's premier international arbitration centers. Several of those firms are already Legora customers. Its status as an English-language common law jurisdiction makes it the natural entry point for global firms deploying cross-border legal work across the region. The Legora office in Singapore will support both the international firms headquartered there and the growing base of in-house legal teams that manage APAC legal operations from the city.
Legora has operated in the Asia-Pacific region since opening its Sydney office in 2025, and counts MinterEllison, Allens, Hamilton Locke, HWL Ebsworth, HSF Kramer, White & Case, K&L Gates, Dentons and Baker McKenzie among its customers. The company recently acquired Graceview, an Australian legal technology company. Its investor base also reflects the region's importance. Atlassian, Geodesic, and Airtree – all investors in Legora's Series D round – have deep roots in the APAC market.
The expansion to Singapore and Tokyo responds directly to demand from existing customers with operations across APAC, as well as from firms and legal teams for whom the region represents a primary or growing focus.
"Singapore and Tokyo were deliberate choices," said Heather Paterson, VP Revenue APAC at Legora. "APAC's combined legal services fee pool rivals that of the EU, and the cross-border deal and disputes work that flows between this region and EMEA and the US runs through corridors Legora already covers. For the first time, we can say we're truly global in the way our clients are.”
