Law.com reporter Amanda Bronstad examines how AI-powered legal technology companies — including Darrow — are changing how class actions are identified and originated, scraping the internet for consumer complaints, social media posts, and government databases to surface potential cases before anyone has filed a complaint.
The article profiles Darrow alongside Rain Intelligence as examples of a new category of legal technology built specifically for case origination rather than case management. The most common case types being identified through these tools include privacy violations, price fixing, labor violations, product labeling, and securities fraud — areas where evidence tends to be scattered across public data sources and patterns only become visible in aggregate.
The headline quote — "the numbers are just massive" — captures the scale of what AI-driven detection makes possible compared to traditional case sourcing methods.
