Building the Future of Legal Collaboration

Our Story

Version Story was founded with a vision to bring the productivity and collaboration that software engineers enjoy into the hands of lawyers and other non-coders. Inspired by the powerful version-control model behind Git and GitHub, we set out to build a platform that makes document collaboration intuitive, clear, and effortless.

Our co-founder Kevin experienced firsthand the frustration of manual version management and cumbersome redlining processes while working as an attorney at Simpson Thacher. When Kevin shared these pain points with Jordan, when they were both working as software engineers, Jordan immediately recalled how challenging coding was before he learned Git. That conversation sparked the idea behind Version Story.

Today, Version Story empowers legal teams with a visual, intuitive solution for managing document versions, eliminating wasted hours spent hunting down versions or manually merging edits. Our mission remains the same as on day one: helping lawyers collaborate clearly, confidently, and productively—just like the best software teams do.
