Litera has decided to tell its own epic story of tech company management by bringing back Avaneesh Marwaha as CEO. He had previously been the boss from 2016 to 2022, after which Sheryl Hoskins took over.
As the returned CEO, Marwaha will fight the evil empire of legal inefficiency and ‘focus on optimizing legal workflows with enterprise-grade solutions, further integrating GenAI into Litera’s trusted product ecosystem, accelerating user adoption, and securing a foundation of innovation’.
Over the past two years, outgoing CEO Hoskins has brought a focus on operational excellence, building out the organization’s leadership team, and streamlining Litera’s processes, product portfolio and customer support, the company said. Hoskins will continue to advise the Litera board through the end of 2024.
During his years away from the hot seat the former CEO had been Chairman of the Board, focusing on product strategy and M&A.
‘I’m proud of the achievements we’ve accomplished in the last two years at Litera, putting the company in a position to adapt to dynamic shifts in the legal tech market,’ said Hoskins. ‘Avaneesh’s decades of legal practice and legal tech experience give him the unique vision to lead Litera as we continue to invest, innovate, and integrate our ecosystem of intuitive, AI-driven products that will revolutionize the lawyer work experience.’
Marwaha added: ‘Lawyers and law firms depend on Litera to stay at the forefront of technology innovations and practically adapt them into the ways lawyers like to work, and firms operate and grow. I’m grateful to Sheryl and her leadership for bringing Litera to this transformational moment as we help law firms harness their own legal expertise and business data to deliver better outcomes and win more business.’
This site would like to imagine that he also wanted to say that ‘there has been a disturbance in The Force’ and that he needed to return to help bring balance to the legal tech universe – but, sadly he didn’t say that… but, he might one day.
