Hochul announces legal-AI firm Legora will create 550+ jobs in Manhattan expansion, backed by up to $10.5M in Excelsior tax credits
Legora, a legal-AI company, will open a ~98,420 sq ft office at 11 Madison Avenue creating 550+ jobs, with $87.5M in R&D commitments. Empire State Development offered up to $10.5M in performance-based Excelsior Jobs Program tax credits. Notable context: the announcement of AI office jobs comes weeks after Hochul signed the nation's first statewide data-center moratorium — office expansions like this are unaffected by the moratorium, which targets hyperscale data-center facilities.
