# Norm AI Raises $120 Million Series C, Hits Unicorn Valuation

> Norm AI has raised a $120 million Series C at a $1.2 billion valuation, crossing into unicorn territory just three years after launch. Khosla Ventures led the round, with Blackstone, Bain Capital, Coatue, and Vanguard joining, bringing the startup's total funding past $260 million. What sets Norm apart is its structure. Rather than sell software to existing firms, it operates Norm Law, LLP, an AI-native law firm where AI agents draft documents and handle legal tasks under the supervision of senior attorneys. It charges on an outcome basis instead of billable hours, a pointed departure from how the profession usually works. That puts it against rivals like Harvey and Legora, but on a different footing: competitors mostly build tools for lawyers, while Norm is trying to be the firm itself. Keeping human attorneys in the loop is both a safety measure and a regulatory necessity in a field built on professional accountability. Whether clients embrace an AI-first firm is the open question, but investors are clearly betting they will.
