Everlaw Summit '23 Awards Are Now Open
Celebrating Legal Professionals at Everlaw Summit '23
Last year in November at Everlaw Summit, we recognized and highlighted the inspiring work of innovative legal professionals within their fields of work. From those demonstrating a strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, to rising professionals making the most of technology to grow their firm’s business and deliver exceptional client value, Everlaw Summit Awards are a celebration of legal professionals staying ahead of the curve.
That’s why Everlaw is proud to bring its Summit Awards back for round two at Everlaw Summit 2023. Taking place October 10-12 at the historic Palace Hotel in San Francisco, Everlaw’s 2023 Summit Awards focus on those organizations and individuals who are transforming their processes and leading in these times of uncertainty.
Breakthrough Together
The idea of "breaking through" is the theme of Everlaw Summit '23. This year's conference is focused on moments where technology propels us to new possibilities, where established systems evolve for novel approaches, and where personal barriers are overcome. And this year’s award categories will once again shine the spotlight on the individuals pushing the boundaries of what’s possible to break through to new heights:
Corporate Breakthrough of the Year
For corporate legal departments transforming their approach to litigation and investigations in-house.
Innovative Breakthrough of the Year
For leaders in ediscovery that are using technology in innovative ways
Impact Agent of the Year
For paralegals and litigation support professionals making measurable impacts in their organizations
DEI Change Agent
For those demonstrating a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion by mentoring the next generation of legal professionals
Rising Star in Ediscovery
For professionals with seven years or less of legal experience whose early accomplishments distinguish them as future leaders in the profession
People’s Choice Award
For a standout Everlaw Summit presenter, selected on-site via app only
Leading Through Change
Last year’s winners were selected for their unique contributions in leading their organizations through change. They include an archivist chronicling the nation’s deadly opioid epidemic and a young associate on the frontlines of the growing ediscovery (edisclosure) practice in England, undeterred from the challenges of creating success in an ambiguous environment. We congratulate them:

Nominations Are Open
Nominations for the Everlaw Summit Awards 2023 are now open. Use this form to nominate yourself or someone you know. Once the nomination period has closed, a panel of judges including Ryan O’Leary (Research Director, IDC), Maeghan Ottrey (Director of Litigation Support, Fidelity), Shana Simmons (Chief Legal Officer, Everlaw), Alex Hafez (Director, Solutions Architects, Everlaw), and Nora Ahmed (Legal Director, ACLU of Louisiana) will evaluate each submission. The selection process is based purely on merit and excellence within any given category, rather than the number of nominations a person/organization receives.
