Reynen Court LLC today announced that Venky Srinivasan has joined as chief evangelist to further develop its relationships with law firms and corporate law departments and to create and promote transparency with respect to Reynen Court's platform and the technologies that underlay it.

Mr. Srinivasan will also serve as a member of Reynen Court's executive team.

Mr. Srinivasan has more than 25 years of legal industry experience at a leadership level and has served in many customer advisory boards including OpenText, Workshare and Xerox. For more than 20 years he served as the Chief Technology Officer of Stikeman Elliot LLP, a global leader in Canadian Business Law and one of the Seven Sisters group of prominent Canadian law firms. He has a proven track record of adopting and successfully implementing leading edge legal technology solutions including Cloud Computing technologies such as Office 365 and iManage in the Cloud.

Reynen Court was founded last year with wide support from a consortium of nineteen leading global law firms. The Amsterdam based start-up recently launched a Beta version of its ground-breaking platform designed to help firms and corporate legal departments speed their adoption of AI and other new technologies.  More than 100 third party application vendors are already working to make their products available on the platform.

“Venky has an outstanding record of forward-thinking, ground breaking innovation," said Reynen Court founder and CEO Andrew D. Klein. “Having led one of Canada's top firms towards early adoption of cloud computing, Venky is perfectly placed to help us explain how our platform enables the legal industry to fully embrace cloud-based applications without requiring firms or clients to sacrifice security or stability." 

“As a technology executive with over 30 years of large law firm experience, I see enormous potential in the Reynen Court platform," added Mr. Srinivasan.  "The pressure on CIOs is growing exponentially as AI and other new tools are presenting opportunities and challenges to the industry.  By taking time and cost out of sourcing, adopting and managing new technologies, this platform solves several significant problems standing in the way of real progress. I am truly excited to dive in and lend my skills and experience to building on the already significant collaboration underway."
