On the a16z Podcast, Eve CEO Jay Madheswaran joins GP Alex Rampell to argue that AI could expand access to legal representation by making previously uneconomical cases viable.
Key points:
- Eve automates plaintiff-side law end to end, from the first client call through settlement.
- Some firms already use it to raise the number of clients each attorney manages from roughly 100 to 500.
- The discussion also covers lawyers shifting toward higher-value advocacy, agents eventually negotiating with other agents, and what dramatically cheaper litigation means for the legal system.
