Legora CEO: UK stock options make London expansion a ‘no-brainer’ — but Sweden is ‘almost impossible’

Max Junestrand, founder and CEO of Swedish legaltech Legora, has said the UK's approach to employee stock options makes expanding in London a 'no-brainer' for the scaleup. He noted that Sweden's strict rules make it 'almost impossible' to attract talent with equity. The UK's Enterprise Management Incentive (EMI) allows companies to grant up to £3 million in options to employees, a cap far higher than Sweden's.

Legora, which recently raised $207 million in a Series C round at a $5.9 billion valuation, is headquartered in Stockholm but is eyeing London as a key growth market.

Max Junestrand, fundador y CEO de la legaltech sueca Legora, ha dicho que el enfoque del Reino Unido sobre las opciones de acciones para empleados hace que expandirse en Londres sea una 'decisión obvia' para la escala. Señaló que las estrictas reglas de Suecia hacen que sea 'casi imposible' atraer talento con acciones. El Incentivo de Gestión Empresarial (EMI) del Reino Unido permite a las empresas otorgar hasta 3 millones de libras en opciones a los empleados, un límite mucho más alto que el de Suecia.

Legora, que recientemente recaudó 207 millones de dólares en una ronda Serie C con una valoración de 5.900 millones de dólares, tiene su sede en Estocolmo pero está considerando Londres como un mercado clave de crecimiento.

Max Junestrand, fondateur et CEO de la legaltech suédoise Legora, a déclaré que l'approche du Royaume-Uni concernant les stock-options des employés rend l'expansion à Londres une 'évidence' pour la scale-up. Il a noté que les règles strictes de la Suède rendent cela 'presque impossible' d'attirer des talents avec des actions. L'Incentive de Gestion d'Entreprise (EMI) du Royaume-Uni permet aux entreprises d'attribuer jusqu'à 3 millions de livres en options aux employés, un plafond bien plus élevé que celui de la Suède.

Legora, qui a récemment levé 207 millions de dollars lors d'un tour de financement Série C à une valorisation de 5,9 milliards de dollars, est basée à Stockholm mais envisage Londres comme un marché clé de croissance.
