Accel led the Series D, joined by Salesforce Ventures and a parade of both new and existing backers. The company already has tens of thousands of legal professionals across 50 markets using its tools. Now it's betting big on American law firms, planning to triple its U.S. headcount to over 300 employees by year-end with new office hubs.
