The Jerusalem Post profiles Darrow as part of a broader look at legal technology's potential to repair a justice system that has long failed to match its own mandate. The piece opens with a striking data point from the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights: corporate ethical misconduct reports numbered in the millions in 2011, while convictions were in the dozens. The gap between documented harm and legal accountability, the article argues, is precisely the problem that companies like Darrow exist to close.
Reporter Ariel Shapira traces the systemic failures that allow that gap to persist: violations buried in overwhelming volumes of data, legal jargon that renders most people unable to act on their own behalf, and corporations whose legal teams outmatch individual victims before a case ever reaches a courtroom. The result is a justice system that, in practice, protects those who can navigate it and leaves everyone else behind.
Darrow's founders encountered this dysfunction firsthand. Evyatar Ben-Artzi and Elad Spiegelman clerked together at the chambers of Israeli Supreme Court Justice Uzi Vogelman, where they witnessed a system hindered by antiquated processes and structural inaccessibility. Teaming up with software engineer Gila Hayat — who brought the machine learning expertise to teach a system how to read the law, identify harmful patterns, and piece together a legal story from disparate data sources — they built a platform designed to do what the system itself cannot: proactively surface violations at scale.
At the time of publication, Darrow had over 80 employees across Tel Aviv and New York and was actively uncovering violations in privacy, consumer protection, environmental hazards, and dangerous working conditions — giving plaintiff attorneys the intelligence they need to hold corporations accountable.
