About Us
Legora is redefining how legal work gets done. Not built for lawyers, built with them. We work alongside the world’s best legal teams, who expect excellence, precision, and speed, and we hold ourselves to the same bar.
Our AI-native workspace lets legal professionals move faster, think more clearly, and operate with sharper precision. By analysing thousands of documents in minutes and powering end-to-end workflows, we cut through complexity, teams can focus on what matters: judgment, strategy, and outcomes.
2,100+ customers across 80+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $200M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI, Graceview, Cadastral, and Wexler.
We partner with world-class performers: including Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees, Ludvig Åberg (and his caddie), and campaigns featuring Jude Law.
Joining Legora means three things.
-
We lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions.
-
We fight for excellence: high standards, direct, ego-free feedback.
-
We grow together: as a team and with our customers.
Mission before ego. Everyone contributes. No one coasts.
If you’re driven by impact, pace, and raising the bar. This is the place.
What You'll Do
Let's get the tricky part out of the way: this role doesn't fit neatly into a traditional box. It's part legal ops, part product specialist, part solutions architect, and part client whisperer.
If you enjoy roles that stay static, this probably isn't it. Your mission is to help our clients — some of the most sophisticated IP teams in the world, from IP boutiques to AmLaw IP groups to in-house IP departments — get the absolute most out of our platform.
IP here means the whole practice: trademark prosecution and litigation, patent prosecution and litigation, copyright, privacy, advertising and media, and brand protection. You'll slot into whichever of those you know best, and learn the rest alongside the clients who live in them.

Acting as a thought partner to IP partners, prosecution leads, and litigation teams — building trusted relationships, addressing tricky pain points (the office-action response due Friday, the 200 marketplace listings using a client's mark on counterfeits, the ad claim that needs substantiation before the campaign goes live, the invalidity contentions with 40 references to run down), and identifying high-value opportunities for them to scale their use of Legora across the practice.
