OAKLAND, Calif., Nov. 28, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Everlaw, the developer of the cloud-based litigation platform, today announced it will open a new office in London to expand its services into the UK and continental Europe.
Everlaw already offers local European hosting for customers, such as London-based law firm Macfarlanes and consulting company Mott Macdonald. Macfarlanes is part of the Silver Circle, which comprises the UK’s leading corporate law firms. With the expansion, Everlaw will add a UK-based hosting option and offer local customer support.
Everlaw’s UK presence will expand security, privacy, and compliance options for customers based in the UK and Europe. Data can now be hosted and retained within the UK in addition to continental Europe. Everlaw is SOC-2 certified for Security, Availability, Confidentiality, and Privacy in the US, EU, Canada, and Australia. Prior to its overseas expansion, Everlaw took a leadership role in helping organizations prepare for the rollout of GDPR.
“We’re excited to bring our committed team and first-class software experience to serve more customers in the UK and the European Union in 2019,” said Everlaw CEO AJ Shankar. “Everlaw has always been committed to making legal professionals’ experience as user-friendly and collaborative as possible.”
Everlaw's first UK office will be in London’s Shoreditch neighborhood, home to many major law firms and its “Silicon Roundabout” tech hub. The expansion follows Everlaw’s recent relocation to major new headquarters in Oakland, California.
Everlaw is participating in the following London events:
- Future Legal Technology Forum (November 27-28, 2018)
- LegalWeek Connect (November 28-29, 2018)
- Corporate Legal Operations Consortium London (January 21-22, 2019)
