Fresh off a yearlong sabbatical, tech-industry veteran Gloria Lee is joining the e-discovery provider Everlaw as chief legal officer.
Lee is jumping aboard Oakland, California-based Everlaw at a critical juncture, as the company and its competitors race to capitalize on the burgeoning intersection of artificial intelligence and legal technology.
The venture capital-backed company, founded in 2010, reached a valuation of more than $2 billion in 2021 and has raised a total of $298 million in funding across seven rounds.
Plaintiffs and defendants have have relied on Everlaw e-discovery software in a range of high-profile cases, from civil litigation against Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes to lawsuits stemming from wildfires in the western United States.
“I’m a trial lawyer at heart,” Lee said, “so getting to work on the core tools that Everlaw provides for litigators is an absolute bonus. I’m excited to work with the product team to ensure that we not only maintain our best-in-class platform but continue to push the boundaries of what AI can do for the legal profession.”
