“We were just a little startup, but it has exploded. We are now present in over 40 markets and have offices in London, New York, and Sydney. It is quite amazing”, says Sheena Tan, Head of Finance at Legora.
Founded in 2023, Legora supports lawyers in their daily work by building AI applications that automate legal research and analysis.
“We work in close collaboration with lawyers. Our solution helps them reduce routine work and free up time for more qualified work. That is also the key to our success – we are solving real problems”, says Sheena Tan.
In 2025, Legora joined SEB Growth, a specialist unit within SEB’s Business & Retail Banking division. The unit provides advice on everything from core banking services to currency and cash flow management as well as employee pension solutions, with a particular focus on supporting scaleups.
“SEB acts like a partner, not just a bank. We always know who to contact. When we had a payroll issue, we could just reach out and get immediate help”, says Sheena Tan. She looks forward to deepening the relationship further.
“We are now at a phase where we are starting to think more strategically about currency risk and capital management. We are eager to explore SEB’s offering within the field.”
As for funding, Legora has raised more than USD 100m. In other words, the company is well-capitalised for the next chapter, which is all about continued scaling.
“We see interest from all over the world, so international growth is an ongoing major focus”, Sheena Tan concludes.
