AI law startup Norm raises $120M, hits unicorn valuation

Summary
Norm raised a $120 million Series C led by Khosla Ventures and reached a $1.2 billion valuation.
Why it matters
Vertical AI keeps attracting premium pricing when it sits directly in a costly, high-value workflow like legal services. This round is another signal that buyers and investors are rewarding tools that can own a specific task end to end.
Founder/operator read
Legal and compliance AI teams should focus on workflow depth, not broad general-purpose claims. If the product saves billable time or increases throughput inside a repeatable practice area, the story gets much easier to sell.
