Legal AI Platform Eve Helps Hershey Law Secure $27.5 Million Whistleblower Verdict

AI-powered legal assistant provides a competitive advantage during a high-stakes trial against a major healthcare corporation

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Legal AI Platform Eve today announced that Hershey Law has leveraged the platform to secure a landmark $27.5 million verdict in a complex employment retaliation case against Dignity Health. The case represents a significant victory for healthcare whistleblower protection and demonstrates the transformative potential of AI technology in a legal setting.

In complex legal battles, smaller firms often face significant challenges when going up against well-resourced corporations. This was the reality faced by Brennan Hershey and his legal team as they prepared to represent their client, a former Chief Nursing Officer, who had been wrongfully terminated after exposing critical patient safety concerns. The case presented a classic "David and Goliath" scenario, so they turned to Eve.

To gain a critical competitive edge and ensure their client received justice, Hershey Law used Eve's Legal AI Platform, which they've integrated as a foundational technology. Eve proved to be an indispensable asset to their trial strategy, providing crucial support throughout the complex litigation.

"Eve gave us a competitive advantage during the trial," said Brennan Hershey, founder of Hershey Law, "It isn't creating our strategy, but it is helping us come at the proceedings with the utmost confidence. With Eve, we're the smartest guys in the room."

Real-Time Trial Support Delivers Results

During the multi-week trial, Hershey Law utilized Eve's capabilities in several innovative ways:

• Real-time Access During Testimony: Eve allowed the legal team to quickly access deposition transcripts for impeachment evidence, ensuring accuracy and responsiveness in the courtroom.
• Tracking Judicial Rulings: With over 25 pre-trial motions ruled on by the judge, Eve helped the team quickly locate specific transcript references when rulings were violated or forgotten.
• Summarizing Daily Trial Briefings: Eve assisted with daily trial briefings by summarizing transcripts and directing the team to specific points of interest.
• Crafting Arguments and Preparing Witness Questions: Eve served as a brainstorming tool for crafting arguments and preparing witness questions, significantly faster than manual methods.
• Time Savings: Eve saved hours each day during trial by making it fast and easy to summarize and search through daily transcripts, brainstorm arguments, and draft trial briefs and oppositions to motions in limine, streamlining work that's typically time-intensive and high stakes.

"Every hour that you're saving during trial is really powerful," Hershey explained. "I was able to use Eve as both a brainstorming tool and a way to direct exactly what I wanted to accomplish much faster than straight manual work."

Leveling the Playing Field Against Corporate Giants

The case highlighted how AI technology can help smaller law firms compete against well-resourced corporate defendants, transforming a classic "David and Goliath" scenario into a landmark victory for justice.

"Dignity Health is a huge corporation, so Eve really helped even the playing field for us to seek justice on behalf of the little guy," Hershey noted.

"Hershey Law is setting the standard for what it means to be an AI-native law firm. By seamlessly integrating AI into every layer of their practice, they've shown how technology can elevate legal strategy—not replace it," Jay Madheswaran, CEO and co-founder, Eve. "This recent verdict is a powerful testament to what's possible when sharp legal minds embrace AI as a force multiplier: not only can they go toe-to-toe with the biggest corporate legal teams—they can win."
