Our take
Everlaw builds technology to help corporations, law firms and government entities solve the toughest problems in the legal industry. The company's platform includes features to help speed up legal work, freeing up time to be spent on more value-add activities. Everlaw’s clients include 8 of the top 10 class action firms in the US and is used by state attorneys general in every state in the US.
The legaltech space is growing fast. It's a big industry where a lot of money is spent, but it has been largely untouched by technology until recently, leaving a big opportunity. The company expanded to Australia and New Zealand following a partnership with Australian e-discovery provider Adio.
Everlaw has also been testing ChatGPT since it launched as it has accelerated development and integration of of generative AI. The company is also pursuing growth for its Everlaw for Good Program, seen at the 2024 Equal Justice Conference in Detroit, appointing its first program director, enhancing its generative AI offerings, and increasing investment to dismantle barriers to justice for low-income Americans and marginalised communities in need of legal representation.
