AJ Shankar is the Founder and CEO of Everlaw, the cloud-native ediscovery platform that unlocks the collaborative power of litigation and investigative teams.

AJ received an AB in Applied Mathematics/Computer Science from Harvard University, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of California, Berkeley. He founded Everlaw in 2010 after consulting for a law firm in grad school, where he observed firsthand the inefficiencies in the discovery and litigation process. He realized that the legal world needed better technology to derive insights from the ever-increasing deluge of discoverable evidence.

Fast forward to today, AJ has built Everlaw into a global company with over 1,000 customers including Fortune 100 corporate counsel, 91 of the Am Law 200, and all 50 state attorneys general. With a $2B+ valuation, Everlaw is funded by top-tier investors like Andreessen Horowitz, Menlo Ventures, CapitalG, and TPG Growth. AJ lives in Berkeley, Calif. with his family.

Chuck Kellner is an expert ediscovery strategist with a record of success helping clients give and get the discovery they need with fairness and proportionality. His current role on Everlaw’s Value Engineering team brings innovation and positive impact to Am Law 100 and Fortune 500 litigation clients. A recognized legaltech evangelist and thought leader, Chuck often appears in publications and speaks at industry events on the trends impacting the legal profession.

Chuck’s experience includes Litigation and Practice Support Manager for an Am Law 50; litigation support operations director for a Big Eight; and consultant and executive for ediscovery consulting, services, and business development for legal industry leaders. He has testified as expert on issues of cost and burden, appropriate uses of technology, adequacy of production, and on findings from computer forensic examination.

Chuck holds a BA from Brandeis University and JD from Lewis & Clark Law School. Among several organizations, he is a past executive board member of the New England Legal Technology Professionals (NELTP) and the The Sedona Conference Working Group 6, where he is part of a writing team for Principles for Disclosure in International Arbitration.

After years in Providence, RI, Chuck and his wife now call New Orleans home, where their love of good food and music finds no limits.
