Gov. Kathy Hochul recently announced that Legora will expand its U.S. operations with a Manhattan office, bringing over 550 jobs to the state.<\/p>\n
The legal AI company will occupy 98,420 square feet at 11 Madison Ave. to house engineering, product development, legal engineering and corporate functions. Empire State Development has offered up to $10.5 million in performance-based Excelsior Jobs Program tax credits tied to the company\u2019s job creation and research and development commitments.<\/p>\n
\u201cArtificial intelligence is reshaping industries around the world, and New York is making sure we remain at the forefront of that transformation,\u201d Hochul said. \u201cLegora\u2019s decision to grow its U.S. operations in New York City is another vote of confidence in our unmatched talent, world-class innovation ecosystem and commitment to helping cutting-edge companies succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Legora operates what it describes as an agentic operating system for legal work. The company serves more than 1,500 law firm and corporate customers across 50 markets globally, according to CFO David Eckstein.<\/p>\n
\u201cNew York is establishing itself as the epicenter of legal AI, and we intend to be part of that story,\u201d said Patrick Forquer, Legora\u2019s chief revenue officer. \u201cThis office anchors our North American growth, and we\u2019re building it alongside a world-class team and customers who are shaping the future of legal work.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hope Knight, president, CEO and commissioner of Empire State Development, said the expansion strengthens the state\u2019s AI ecosystem. <\/p>\n
\u201cLegora\u2019s expansion will create opportunities for New Yorkers, accelerate innovation and reinforce the momentum we\u2019re seeing as global technology companies continue to put down deeper roots across the state,\u201d Knight said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gov.
