On Wednesday, New York and Tel Aviv-based legal tech startup Darrow announced the addition of mass arbitration to its PlaintiffLink service. Publicly launched in February 2024, PlaintiffLink helps firms connect with and review potential plaintiffs for cases. The development and expansion of PlaintiffLink was likely supported in part by the startup's $35 million Series B funding round, which it announced in September 2023.
Marketing itself as a justice intelligence platform, Darrow essentially looks to be a business development tool for litigation teams. Some of its offerings use generative AI to analyze and scan public data, such as SEC filings and consumer complaints, to find viable class action and litigation opportunities.
With the addition of mass arbitration to its PlaintiffLink service, Darrow looks to meet a customer demand it has known about since its launch. "When we started out Darrow, it was very clear; a lot of partners just came to us and called our attention to this area. … You can see kind of a growth in the annual occurrence of mass arbitrations. I think we're talking about like 20% growth annually, and it's already big. … So mass arbitration is just a natural move," Darrow founder and CEO Evyatar Ben Artzi told Legaltech News.
