Our take
Legalist was founded in 2016 to level the playing field and allow small and medium-sized businesses to access justice usually available only to the largest companies. It does this with a team of lawyers, engineers, and data scientists to provide capital to lawyers and plaintiffs who need it most.
The company uses data from millions of court records in order to explore how technology and artificial intelligence can provide insights into the American justice system. Its Dossier program helps litigants and attorneys to orient their journeys.
Legalist invests in lawsuits with cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology, funded by some of the top venture capitalists in Silicon Valley, with a small team using data to drive litigation returns. The company has made 120 investments in more than 200 claims, according to the startup.
Businesses apply for funding via the website, and then Legalist's technology sources and vets meritorious legal cases for investment based on the likelihood of winning. This takes into account factors such as the judge, lawyers, court type, and other details. Due to a surge in demand for funding, the company expects to continue adding to the growth it has experienced since its founding.
