AI law startup Norm announced on July 7, 2026 that it has raised $120 million in a Series C funding round led by Khosla Ventures, pushing the nearly three-year-old company to a $1.2 billion valuation.
Norm operates an AI-native law firm called Norm Law, which deploys the company’s own AI agents supervised by human attorneys to deliver legal services to enterprise clients. The company also develops AI agents capable of supervising other AI agents. Rather than billing by the hour — the standard industry model — Norm charges clients based on outcomes.
Additional investors in the Series C include Bain, Craft Ventures, Coatue, Vanguard, New York Life, TIAA, Tony James (former president and COO of Blackstone), Jeff Hammes (former chairman of Kirkland & Ellis), and law firm Fenwick LLP. The new capital will be used to expand the product and hire more attorneys. Norm has now raised more than $260 million in total funding.
Norm is among a number of legal AI startups — including Harvey and Legora — that have emerged in recent years to automate time-intensive legal work for enterprise clients.
The unicorn milestone and the breadth of its investor base, which spans venture capital, institutional asset managers, and legal industry figures, may suggest growing institutional confidence in AI-driven legal services as a viable market.
