People think artificial intelligence will replace lawyers, but it is actually making them richer. And this startup just proved it. San Francisco startup Eve just raised over $100 million led by Spark Capital with backing from Andreessen Horowitz and Lightspeed, putting its valuation at $1 billion. But Eve is not a law firm. It is an AI platform for plaintiff lawyers. Eve handles the busywork like collecting client info, sorting medical records, and drafting legal documents. So lawyers can focus on court, strategy, and getting more clients. But here's the craziest part: more than 450 law firms now use Eve, covering 200,000 active cases, and has helped them win over $3.5 billion in settlements. Plaintiff law is a $100 billion market, and most firms are small, resource-constrained, and dependent on manual work. By automating case prep, Eve gives them leverage, letting one lawyer do the work of many, handle more clients, and grow profits. And Eve isn't alone in disrupting the $1 trillion legal services market. AI startups ranging from Harvey to Legora all see the writing on the wall. Law is ripe for AI enhancement. It's a massive market riddled with rote work. What industry do you think will be disrupted by AI next? Let me know in the comments below.
