Darrow

From law to finding information

Darrow was founded in June 2020 by Evyatar Ben Artzi, Gila Hayat and Elad Spiegelman, according to CTech. Ben Artzi and Spiegelman met while studying law at the Hebrew University and clerked together at the Supreme Court. Hayat came from software development and team management in Unit 8200. A 2023 funding article noted that Spiegelman was no longer active in the company. The company operates in Israel and the United States. Its business idea is to find information about possible wrongdoing before a legal case exists, instead of starting the work only after a lawsuit has been filed.

What the language models look for

The system scans public information, such as consumer complaints, administrative documents and filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The language models connect pieces of information to detect a suspected violation, assess possible outcomes and examine the financial significance. The areas the company mentions include privacy, consumer protection, competition, environment and employment. The output is an opportunity to examine a lawsuit, not a verdict. According to the product description in LawSites, the opportunities found are also reviewed by experienced lawyers before they are shown to the user's firm.

From finding a case to managing the firm's cases

In May 2026 Darrow presented a platform that extends case finding to managing litigation cases. In a demonstration for LawSites it showed case memos with evidence and underlying documents, alongside a comparison with the outcomes of similar cases. The dashboard tracks the stage of the proceedings, settlement estimates and the amount expected for the firm. It also includes document collection and plaintiff intake. A conversation layer lets users ask about precedents, about the defendant and about the assumptions behind the estimate. The firm thus gets information for choosing cases and following them, not just a list of new suspicions.

Funding and the business model

On 19 September 2023 the company announced a $35 million Series B led by Georgian, with F2, Entrée Capital and NFX. The official announcement said the money was meant for expanding the team, entering more areas of law and developing the language models. According to CTech, the company then employed 85 people, 10 of them in the United States, and worked with lawyers from 50 firms. In July 2026 Calcalist reported about $63 million raised in total. According to LawSites, payment for the product combines a subscription based on the scope of coverage with usage-based charges for cases, scans and exposure assessments. The company also serves compliance teams, insurers and investors.

Cutbacks in Israel and the United States

On 7 July 2026 Calcalist reported that Darrow had laid off 60 employees, 40 of them in Israel, after having employed 180. In its response, the company said the move was a reorganization following changes in technology and the market. It noted that a large share of the roles being cut belonged to lawyers who had worked as analysts and built the legal infrastructure for the system. According to the article, the headquarters is in Tel Aviv and the company also has offices in New York. In the same response the company said it had been profitable for three years in a row. According to LawSites, two months earlier the company had presented the new case management platform, in which the finding work is done by AI agents and only then passes to lawyers for review.
