SAN FRANCISCO, July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Tavrn, an AI-driven legal tech platform, announced today 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 in the round, bringing the company’s total funding to $21.6 million.
Founded by Pedro Paulino (CEO) and Vitor Vavolizza (CTO), Tavrn was built to tackle one of the biggest hidden costs for law firms: the countless hours paralegals and attorneys spend manually reviewing medical records, drafting demand letters, and managing client intake. Tavrn uses AI agents to automate the entire workflow, helping firms cut costs, speed up case preparation, and focus on what matters most – winning cases and serving clients.
“Tavrn is committed to becoming the leading AI services company for law firms,” said Pedro Paulino, Tavrn’s CEO. “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.”
While many legal tech startups rely on outsourced labor behind the scenes, Tavrn offers a fully autonomous product purpose-built for high-volume personal injury law practices. Most of these firms operate on contingency fees rather than billable hours, meaning speed, throughput, and efficiency directly impact revenue. By automating manual, tedious work, Tavrn helps firms take on more cases with greater accuracy, boosting both capacity and profitability. Demand letters, one of the most time-consuming parts of personal injury case prep, are now fully handled by Tavrn’s AI agents. This reduces the time it takes to prepare each case and drives down costs. The platform also supports other pre-litigation workflows such as client intake, medical record retrieval, and medical chronologies.
Since 2024, nearly $3 billion in venture capital has flowed into legal technology startups, with the majority focused on AI-native solutions. Yet while many entrants promise full-scale automation, few companies have delivered products that truly replace, not just augment, manual work. Tavrn’s team spent nearly a full year working directly with paralegals and attorneys at contingency-fee law firms, shadowing every step of case preparation from intake to settlement. That close collaboration led to a fully automated product tailored to high-volume, documentation-heavy firms—and has driven rapid adoption, sticky usage, and strong word-of-mouth growth. Tavrn stands out in a crowded market for its speed, execution, and product fidelity.
“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,” said Matthew Miller, Partner at Left Lane Capital. “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.”
The funding follows strong traction across the US 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 cement its position as the de facto AI platform for high-volume, small law firms. As firms increasingly look for ways to scale without compromising quality, Tavrn is emerging as the trusted partner for automating what is routine—so lawyers can focus on what is strategic.
