Avaneesh Marwaha

CEO, Litera

Litera has grown significantly since we first backed the business in 2019, but we are just getting started. There is still enormous opportunity to support further productivity improvement in law firms with modern software. Litera’s position as the ‘Vendor of Choice’ for law firm CIOs, their highly talented team and well-invested products means that the business is an ideal platform to continue to support this theme for many years to come. At Hg we value long-term relationships where we can build true, scaled platforms that are champions in their sectors. We see this potential in Litera and we are excited for the future.
