PowerLaw AI
幂律智能
PowerLaw AI (幂律智能) is a Chinese legal-AI company founded in 2017 that builds intelligent contract and legal-services products . Its core offerings include MeCheck for smart contract review and MeFlow for contract lifecycle management, and in mid-2023 it partnered with Zhipu AI to release PowerLawGLM, a legal vertical large model built on Zhipu's ChatGLM-130B base . The company positions itself around a "text-in, text-out" thesis: law is a natural fit for large-model automation because legal work is dominated by reading, drafting, and reasoning over documents .
PowerLaw AI closed a roughly RMB 80 million Pre-B round in late 2023 led by BlueRun Ventures, with eSign (e签宝) joining and existing backers Sequoia, Huayu, Source Code, Linear Capital, and Zhipu AI following on . At that time it claimed business growth of more than 200% year-over-year, attributing the acceleration to embedding PowerLawGLM into its contract products . Founder and CEO Tu Cunchao (涂存超), a Tsinghua computer-science alumnus, was named to *Fortune* China's 2024 "40 Under 40 Business Elites" list . The team maintains a hybrid profile: over 30% of staff have legal backgrounds and senior lawyers participate directly in product development .
