About Everlaw
Everlaw is a cloud-native ediscovery software company headquartered in Oakland, California, founded in 2010 by AJ Shankar. The company builds software for the legal industry to collect, process, review, and analyze documents in the context of litigation, regulatory investigations, and internal inquiries.
Everlaw's platform includes tools for document review, predictive coding, deposition preparation, and case storytelling. Its customers include law firms, corporate legal departments, and government agencies, including the U.S. Department of Justice. The platform is designed to handle large-scale document sets in a collaborative, browser-based environment without requiring on-premises infrastructure.
Everlaw has raised approximately $202 million in total funding, with investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Menlo Ventures, and TPG Growth. The company reached a reported valuation of over $2 billion following its Series D round in 2021. As of recent reports, Everlaw employs several hundred people and has expanded its presence in the legal technology market through product development rather than acquisitions.

Competitive Landscape
Who Everlaw competes with, and how they differ.
The dominant enterprise ediscovery platform, built from an on-premises heritage that RelativityOne later moved to the cloud; Everlaw competes as the cloud-native alternative built to serve firms of all sizes rather than only the largest legal departments.
1 product reviewed on TopReviewedA publicly traded (NYSE: LAW), cloud-native ediscovery and AI-review platform founded in a similar era to Everlaw; the two compete most directly on AI-assisted review speed and per-GB pricing for mid-size and large litigation teams.
1 product reviewed on TopReviewedAn AI-first ediscovery platform formed by the 2021 Reveal–Brainspace merger (backed by $200M from K1 Investment Management) and expanded via 2023 acquisitions of Logikcull and IPRO worth over $1B combined; its CEO has publicly positioned Reveal as "the clear incumbent to Relativity," competing with Everlaw on AI-driven review and analytics.
A self-service, lower-cost ediscovery tool aimed at solo practitioners and small firms rather than Everlaw's Am Law/enterprise focus; acquired by Reveal in August 2023, so it now competes as part of Reveal's portfolio rather than independently.
