Legal technology provider Legora has acquired London-based document analysis firm Wexler, expanding its presence in the UK market and establishing a dedicated engineering hub in London.

Under the agreement, Wexler’s 18-person workforce and engineering team will form the core of Legora’s new UK technical operations. The acquisition marks Legora’s fifth corporate takeover this year.

Wexler, founded in 2023 by Gregory Mostyn and Kush Madlani, develops software for litigation, arbitration, and corporate investigations. Its platform analyses large unstructured document sets to extract verifiable events, processing over one million documents per case for clients including law firms Clifford Chance, Goodwin, and Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer.

Legora plans to integrate Wexler’s analysis software directly into its legal workflow workspace to assist legal teams in building chronologies and managing evidence.

Max Junestrand, chief executive and co-founder of Legora, said: “Every dispute and every investigation comes down to the facts, and finding them is always the most manual and expensive part of legal work. As agentic systems take on more of that work, fact queries won’t just grow, they’ll multiply by orders of magnitude. Wexler is the infrastructure built to handle that scale today.”

Gregory Mostyn, chief executive and co-founder of Wexler, said: “Fact-lawyering is the most challenging part of disputes work: the endless, painstaking review needed to map the facts, the issues and the characters into a compelling theory of the case. From a week-long investigation to a decade-long class action, building the case brain has never been harder, and it has never mattered more. We are delighted to be joining Legora and to continue serving the expert litigators and investigators working on the world’s most complex cases, as well as the in-house teams trying to get ahead of those cases before they’re ever filed.”

The transaction follows Legora’s recent Series D investment round, which raised £455 million ($600 million) and valued the platform at £4.24 billion ($5.6 billion). According to corporate figures, Legora’s platform is used by more than 100,000 lawyers across 1,500 organisations worldwide.

The expansion comes as corporate records filed with Companies House show increased activity in the UK legal technology sector, where London-incorporated firms are securing growing institutional backing. This corporate environment is directly relevant to the acquisition, as it reflects the wider market trend of international software groups establishing operational subsidiaries in London to access UK legal and technical expertise.
