Everlaw, a legal-tech startup founded by alumnus AJ Shankar (CS Ph.D. ’09, advisor: Rastislav Bodik), has raised $25 million in a series B funding round. Berkeley-based Everlaw was established in 2011 as a cloud-based e-discovery platform that lets lawyers easily organize and search through millions of documents, videos, emails, and pictures exchanged between legal teams before a trial. Shankar, the company’s CEO, said the money will be used to invest in AI which which they hope can be used to determine what documents will be a priority or what documents should be looked at next. The funding round was led by existing investors and Silicon Valley venture firm Andreeseen Horowitz.
