Legal teams, meet your new AI co-counsel.
Let’s face it—digging through police reports, medical files, and mountains of legal documents isn’t just exhausting; it’s expensive. And for law firms juggling personal injury or mass tort cases, every wasted hour counts. That’s where Supio steps in—and it’s making big moves.
Seattle-based Supio just raised a massive $60 million in fresh funding (led by Sapphire Ventures with backing from Mayfield and Thomson Reuters Ventures), bringing its total funding to $91 million. The goal? Scale faster, grow their team, and take legal automation global.
So what’s the big deal about Supio? In short, they’re taking the grunt work off legal teams’ plates. Using AI, Supio automates the tedious process of combing through unstructured data—think medical records, expert testimonies, and complex case files—and transforms it into actionable insights. Their platform connects directly to a law firm’s existing systems and is already supporting over 114 case types. That number? Growing fast.
Co-founders Jerry Zhou and Lam, who started Supio after leaving Avalara, saw a better way to work with legal documents. Their answer wasn’t just another tool—it was a complete rethink of how legal ops should function in the AI age.
And the legal world is catching on. According to recent reports, AI adoption in the legal profession has jumped from 11% to 30% in just a year. Supio’s traction reflects that momentum: 4x growth in annual recurring revenue and an impressive client roster including Hughes & Coleman, Whitley Law, and Thomas Law Offices.
Their secret weapon? Human-in-the-loop AI. Supio doesn’t just spit out AI-generated results—it verifies them, ensuring precision lawyers can trust.
In Jerry Zhou’s words: “If Excel revolutionized finance 30 years ago, AI will do the same for legal.” For firms ready to stop drowning in paperwork and start focusing on real strategy, the future of legal tech is here—and it’s called Supio.
