Legora today announced the next phase of its North American expansion, including the opening of new offices in San Francisco and Toronto, alongside the launch of a major engineering hub at its existing New York office.
The expansion builds on Legora’s rapid growth in North America, where demand for AI-driven legal workflows continues to accelerate as firms and in-house teams move from experimentation to full-scale adoption.
Over the past year, Legora has established a strong foothold in North America, opening offices in New York, Denver, Houston, and Chicago, with plans to grow to more than 300 employees across the region by the end of 2026.
Today’s announcement marks a significant step forward in that strategy, deepening Legora’s presence in key legal and technology hubs across the continent.
San Francisco and Toronto represent two of the most important global centers for legal innovation, enterprise technology, and talent. The launch in Toronto marks Legora’s first office in Canada, on the back of its acquisition of Walter, extending its North American footprint and enabling deeper collaboration with leading law firms, corporate legal teams, and technology partners.
“North America has become our fastest-growing market, driven by a fundamental shift in how legal teams operate,” said Patrick Forquer, CRO Legora. “With new offices in San Francisco and Toronto, and a strengthened engineering presence in New York, we’re investing in the talent and infrastructure needed to support customers as AI becomes mission-critical to legal work.”
As part of this expansion, Legora is significantly scaling its New York office into a central engineering hub. The hub will bring together product and engineering teams focused on advancing Legora’s platform and accelerating innovation for enterprise legal workflows.
The investment reflects the company’s commitment to building deeply embedded, collaborative AI systems tailored to the complexity of legal work, helping lawyers research, review, and draft more efficiently across high-stakes matters.
This latest expansion reinforces Legora’s long-term strategy: combining product innovation with local presence to support customers where they operate, and to lead the next era of AI-powered legal work.
The announcement follows a period of exceptional growth, 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.
“Legal teams are no longer asking if they should adopt AI – they’re focused on how to deploy it across their entire organization,” said Max Junestrand, CEO and Co-Founder of Legora. “Our role is to provide the platform, infrastructure, and on-the-ground support to make that transition seamless.”
