Jonathan William - Legora raises 80M to optimize law firms and legal departments with AI

What is Legora?

Legora is a platform forcollaborative legal artificial intelligence designed to accelerate research, refine analysis, automate writing, and support lawyers in their advisory capacity.

The key word here is Collaborative. Unlike tools that throw AI in a hurry to look good on a brochure, Legora integrates deep into firm workflows.

A fundraiser that says a lot

80 million euros raised. It is not trivial. This is a very clear signal: investors know that the legal market is changing. And they are betting on a solution that has decided not to do halfway.

It is not “another legaltech”. It's a war machine. Structured. Lucid. And above all: aligned with What do lawyers want (even if they don't know it yet).

A pragmatic (and not at all naive) vision

During our exchange, Jonathan Williams — who runs Legora in France — presented me with a vision of the profession that contrasts with the current discourse. No dirty marketing promises. Just a raw reality: lawyers who refuse to evolve are going to be overtaken. Fast.

“The aim is not to replace lawyers. The objective is to arm the best so that they become unstoppable.”

What makes Legora different from other legal AI tools

Many tools simply paste an AI model onto an interface. Legora does the opposite: They start from the real needs of lawyers, then integrate artificial intelligence to solve concrete problems. The result: operational efficiency that is rarely seen.

The concrete advantages of Legora:

• Super-fast search on case law and texts
• Augmented analysis complex documents
• Smart writing and customizable
• Seamless integration in the tools already used by firms

A tool for the growth of firms

Adopting Legora is not a fad. It is a strategic choice. For firms that want to:

• Save time (a lot)
• Work better (and smarter)
• Scaling without blowing up teams
