a16z profiles Eve, an AI startup for US plaintiff lawyers that automates time-intensive casework — reviewing medical records, drafting key documents, opening insurance claims — cutting days of work to under an hour.
- $164M raised; 1,700+ of 29,000 US plaintiff firms use it after three years.
- Processes 12.5M documents per month; revenue grew 6x year over year.
- Used in 350,000+ cases; 50,000 resolved with $3.5B recovered for clients.
- One firm went from 100 clients per attorney to 500, letting small firms compete with well-resourced insurers.
Author jkubicki frames this as the deepest wave yet in a decade-cadence pattern: LegalZoom (2000s), Clio cloud services (2010s), Atrium tech-enabled services (late 2010s), and now AI doing substantive legal work.
