EvenUp uses AI to write demand letters for personal injury lawyers — automating a process that used to take attorneys 30-40 hours per case. Insurance companies have used sophisticated AI to lowball injury claims for years. EvenUp levels the playing field by giving plaintiff lawyers the same technology. The result: higher settlement values for injured people, and lawyers who can handle more cases. Legal AI that actually helps real people instead of just billing partners.

Raymond Shu and Rami Maalouf saw an asymmetry in the legal system: insurance companies used data analytics and AI to minimize payouts on personal injury claims, while plaintiff lawyers relied on manual processes that took weeks per case. A demand letter — the document that establishes the value of an injury claim — could take 30-40 hours of attorney and paralegal time.
EvenUp built an AI platform that generates these demand letters in a fraction of the time, using medical records, case law, and settlement data to produce higher-quality documents that lead to better outcomes for injured people.
WHAT THEY ACTUALLY DO
SaaS for law firms. EvenUp charges per demand letter generated, typically a fraction of what it would cost to have an attorney write one manually.
Revenue scales with the number of law firms using the platform and the volume of cases processed. The value proposition is clear: better demand letters, higher settlement values, less attorney time.
THE PRODUCTS
EvenUp Demand Letters (AI-generated demand packages). Medical Record Analysis (automated extraction of injuries and treatments).
Settlement Value Prediction (data-driven case valuation). Case Management Integration (works with existing law firm software).
HOW THEY GREW
Word-of-mouth in the plaintiff attorney community. Personal injury law is a tight-knit community where attorneys share tools that work.
EvenUp grew by demonstrating measurable improvements in settlement outcomes — when lawyers see that AI-generated demand letters produce higher settlements, they adopt quickly. The company also invested in legal data acquisition to build its settlement and case law database.
THE HARD PART
Legal industry conservatism. Many attorneys are skeptical of AI, and the legal profession is slow to adopt new technology.
EvenUp must prove that its AI is accurate and does not introduce liability. Competition from other legal AI startups and from large legal tech incumbents adding AI features.
