Copilot for in-house legal teams.
Tower lets overworked and under-resourced in-house legal teams automate and manage incoming requests so they can leave work at 5PM everyday. When a new request arrives via email or chat, Tower automatically extracts necessary context, drafts a first response to the inquirer, and populates a Jira-like dashboard so in-house counsels can track all matters in real-time. Tower also allows counsels to use natural language to search through all matters, including communications and documents. In-house counsels currently spend 30 to 90 (!)% of their day working on highly repetitive, manual tasks; Tower frees them to work on more value-add and meaningful projects.

Adam Dorfman
I am the co-founder & CEO of Tower; we're building the AI assistant for in-house counsels. Previously I was an early engineer at Float (corporate card for Canada), built software for speaker & microphone manufacturing at Apple, built AI software & performed AI computer-vision research at DarwinAI (acq. Apple). I studied Mathematical Physics at the University of Waterloo, where I co-oped in data-science/ML and software engineering.

Before Tower I was the founding engineer of ArenaX Labs, a Web3 AI Gaming startup, where I helped the company from inception and zero users to Series A and a community of hundreds of thousands.

Hear from the founders
What is the core problem you are solving? Why is this a big problem? What made you decide to work on it?
Both Adam and I both have strong conviction that legal services ought to be more accessible. We believe the current system is broken on both sides of the marketplace. Lawyers are bogged down by a variety of tasks which can and should be automated while their clients are encumbered with large legal costs arising from said tasks. We strongly view legal access as the core recipe for a functional and equitable society and believe that technology has a large role to play in getting us there. We interviewed hundreds of lawyers and found that there are many salient pain points being experienced by in-house legal teams which we’re well-equipped to solve given our in-depth backgrounds in software engineering and AI research.
What is your long-term vision? If you truly succeed, what will be different about the world?
When Tower truly succeeds, all lawyers will be able to focus on tasks which they attended law school for, such as advising their clients and applying their nuance to strategic matters. They will no longer have to waste their day performing low-value-add tasks such as searching through precedents or handling admin work. Clients, from the largest corporations down to the individual, will have access to quality legal services at affordable costs as legal professionals are freed from the tyranny of mundane work.
