Everlaw

Everlaw is a U.S.-based legal technology company that provides a cloud-native e-discovery and litigation platform. Founded in 2010 by AJ Shankar, the company is headquartered in Oakland, California. Everlaw's platform is designed to help legal professionals manage the entire discovery lifecycle, from data processing and review to production and trial preparation. The company positions its product as an 'evidence layer' for legal AI, emphasizing that its AI tools remain grounded in the underlying evidence. Everlaw's core offering is its e-discovery software, which includes capabilities for document review, legal hold management, and case strategy development. The platform is used by a wide range of clients, including Fortune 100 corporate counsel, 93 of the Am Law 200 law firms, leading federal agencies, and all 50 state attorneys general. This broad adoption across the legal sector underscores the platform's reputation for reliability and security. In addition to its core e-discovery functions, Everlaw offers Storybuilder, a tool for narrative building and trial preparation. Storybuilder connects attorney insights, transcripts, and drafting in a single workspace, enabling teams to analyze case material and prepare for depositions, trial, and briefs. The company also provides AI-powered features such as Deep Dive for near-instant insights across millions of documents and Fact Management for organizing key facts from day one. Everlaw operates as a private company and has raised significant venture capital funding to support its growth. Its platform is accessible via the cloud, allowing legal teams to collaborate securely from anywhere. The company's mission is to transform the practice of law by turning evidence into insight and insight into strategy, ultimately improving legal outcomes.

Everlaw was founded in 2010 by AJ Shankar, who currently serves as CEO. The company was established with the goal of modernizing the legal discovery process through cloud-based technology. In its early years, Everlaw focused on building a platform that could handle large volumes of data efficiently while providing an intuitive user experience for legal professionals. By the mid-2010s, Everlaw had gained traction among law firms and corporate legal departments, particularly for its ability to streamline document review and legal hold processes. The company's cloud-native architecture differentiated it from legacy on-premises e-discovery solutions, offering scalability and accessibility. In 2018, Everlaw secured a significant funding round, which helped accelerate product development and expand its sales and marketing efforts. The company continued to innovate, adding features such as Storybuilder, a tool for trial preparation and narrative building, which was introduced to help attorneys organize case strategy and prepare for depositions and trial. During the 2020s, Everlaw expanded its AI capabilities, integrating machine learning to assist with document review and analysis. The company emphasized that its AI remains grounded in evidence, aligning with its positioning as an 'evidence layer' for legal AI. Everlaw's client base grew to include Fortune 100 companies, a majority of the Am Law 200, federal agencies, and all 50 state attorneys general. As of the mid-2020s, Everlaw remains a private company, headquartered in Oakland, California, and continues to serve the legal industry with its cloud-based e-discovery and litigation platform.
