Foreign welcome to Coruscant Technologies, home of the Digital Executive Podcast. Welcome to the Digital Executive. Today's guest is Evia Ben Artsy. Evia Ben Artzi is the co founder and CEO of Daro, a legal technology company on a mission to transform the legal system through data driven legal intelligence. Founded in 2020, Daro uses a combination of artificial intelligence, data science, and legal expertise to uncover hidden legal violations that would otherwise go unnoticed. Under Ebia's leadership, Daro has grown to a team of 150 employees across offices in Tel Aviv, New York, Miami and Arizona, and is trusted by top legal firms across the United States. Well, good afternoon, Ebia. Welcome to the show.

Absolutely. My friend, I appreciate you making the time. I'm up real early here in Kansas City and, and you're in Israel at the moment, so I appreciate you making the time. I know that's a long ways to have a conversation, but I always appreciate the guests trying to work and navigate around time zones. Ebia, I'm going to jump into your first question. Your vision for Daro is rooted in the idea that justice should be proactive and accessible. What specific moment or experience sparked this mission to surface legal violations using data and AI?

I was a Supreme Court clerk with my friend a lot, and we both had the same experience of looking at the cases that the court was dealing with and thinking it was so weird that when we went on breaks and just looked at our phones, we saw so many bad things happen in the world that weren't coming to court. That felt like a really big disconnect, like a gap. And when we started researching it, we learned this was part of the justice gap. There was an intelligence gathering problem for attorneys that couldn't find immense amount of legal risk out there and bring it to the right resolution. So that was kind of what sparked it. It was just, I guess, in the boredom of clerking, you know, when you're doing the same thing over and over again, you ask yourself, well, wait, on these breaks, I'm seeing so many interesting things. Those are the biggest discussions we have. Why isn't that coming to my door on my desk in the morning? And that's what brought us to Darrow.

That's amazing. I love the backstory on these. You and your friend, you know, on your phones, reading the news, reading what's out there, and, you know, working as Supreme Court clerks, you can see that there's definitely a disconnect you're seeing. Why isn't this stuff brought in through the Court system. Why isn't this stuff rectified? And I really do appreciate that Evia Daro combines legal expertise with artificial intelligence to uncover hidden legal violations. Can you walk us through how your technology identifies these hidden harms and the role attorneys play in acting on them?
