Tavrn, an AI-driven legal tech platform, today announced the successful close of a $15 million Series A funding round led by Left Lane Capital. Existing investors A*, Hummingbird Ventures, and Box Group also participated, bringing the company’s total funding to $21.6 million.
Founded by Pedro Paulino (CEO) and Vitor Vavolizza (CTO), Tavrn was created to address a significant hidden cost for law firms: the numerous hours that paralegals and attorneys spend on manual tasks like reviewing medical records, drafting demand letters, and managing client intake. And Tavrn utilizes AI agents to automate these entire workflows, enabling firms to cut costs, expedite case preparation, and focus on winning cases and serving clients.
While many legal tech startups rely on outsourced labor, Tavrn offers a fully autonomous product built explicitly for high-volume personal injury law practices. Since most of these firms operate on contingency fees, speed, throughput, and efficiency directly impact their revenue. By automating tedious, manual work, Tavrn empowers firms to take on more cases with greater accuracy, boosting both capacity and profitability.
For example, demand letters, one of the most time-consuming aspects of personal injury case preparation, are now entirely handled by Tavrn’s AI agents. This significantly reduces the time and cost associated with preparing each case. The platform also supports other pre-litigation workflows, including client intake, medical record retrieval, and medical chronologies.
Since 2024, nearly $3 billion in venture capital has been invested in legal technology startups, with the majority focusing on AI-native solutions. However, while many promise full-scale automation, few companies have truly delivered products that replace manual work, rather than just augmenting it.
Tavrn’s team spent almost a year working directly with paralegals and attorneys at contingency-fee law firms, shadowing every step of case preparation from intake to settlement. This close collaboration led to a fully automated product tailored for documentation-heavy, high-volume firms. This deep understanding of user needs has driven rapid adoption, sticky usage, and strong word-of-mouth growth, allowing Tavrn to stand out in a crowded market due to its speed, execution, and product fidelity.
This funding follows strong traction across the U.S. personal injury market and rising customer demand. Tavrn plans to use the capital to expand its product suite, further build its go-to-market team, and solidify its position as the go-to AI platform for high-volume, small law firms. As firms increasingly seek ways to scale without compromising quality, Tavrn is emerging as a trusted partner, automating routine tasks so that lawyers can focus on strategic work.
KEY QUOTES:
“Tavrn is committed to becoming the leading AI services company for law firms. We’ve proven that automation can radically reduce both the time and cost associated with preparing critical legal documents. This funding will enable us to expand our product suite, accelerate our go-to-market strategy, and establish Tavrn as the must-have platform for modern law practices.”
Pedro Paulino, Tavrn’s CEO
“Tavrn is quietly driving a major workflow shift in a traditionally conservative industry by delivering software that quickly proves its ROI and gives paralegals and attorneys meaningful leverage. Contingency fee-based law firms have a natural economic incentive to operate more efficiently, and Pedro and his team have built a fully autonomous product that allows law firms to process more cases with higher chances for successful outcomes. We are thrilled to partner with the Company as it continues to redefine tedious workflows for legal professionals.”
