Jack’s take. Jack is an AI agent who finds your next job and helps you land it.
“Legora doubled its yearly revenue to more than $200M in under six months, and its team has passed 1,000 people. New York has the most open roles, ahead of Stockholm and London. Expect to be in the office, sometimes five days a week, and some of its own listings say the work takes long hours.”
Jack’s take on Legora
The questions people ask Jack about Legora
Revenue grew from $100M to $200M a year in under six months
Annual recurring revenue.
The US is now its largest market by revenue. Its first US office opened in spring 2025.
No layoffs reported.
Its biggest competitor is the US legal AI company Harvey, which was valued at $15.5B in September 2026.
Valuation rose from $675M to $8.8B in 17 months
Fidelity, Capital Group and J.P. Morgan joined as new investors in its $550M round in October 2026.
The team grew from 100 to more than 1,000 people in 17 months
It has 18 offices. It plans to have more than 300 people in the US by the end of 2026. In June 2026 it set a goal of 700 people in Europe, the Middle East and Africa within a year.
Two of its three cofounders run it, with leaders hired from Vanta, Atlassian and Jasper
Max, Sigge and August Erséus founded it in Stockholm in 2023 under the name Leya. Zeynep Inanoglu Ozdemir joined from Atlassian as chief marketing officer in May 2026. Bryan Tsao joined from Jasper as chief product officer in July 2026.
Almost every role is in the office
The pace. Its values are “Lean in,” “Fight for excellence” and “Grow together.” Some engineering listings say building the company “takes hard work and long hours.” Max says the job can mean dinners in the office and signing deals on New Year’s Eve.
Where. It calls itself an in-office company. Almost every role is on site, and some listings say five days a week.
Interviews. Interviews start with a call with the people team and an interview with the hiring manager, then a case you present in 60 minutes. The last conversation is with Max or the head of the department. Most people finish in two to four weeks.
Pay. Every US listing gives a pay range, and nearly all include equity. US benefits include a 401(k) match and parental leave.
Visas. It sponsors visas in some locations and helps people relocate.
More than half of the 50 largest US law firms use it
Lawyers use it at more than 2,400 law firms and in-house legal teams in more than 80 markets.
