Gavin McGrane was a litigation attorney in San Francisco when he saw an opportunity to improve how legal professionals interface with the federal courts electronic records system, PACER, and to enable them to better tap into the data and knowledge contained within that system. 

In 2012, he founded PacerPro, originally focusing on providing an enhanced interface to the PACER system, but, in the years since, developing it beyond that, into a system that also enables law firms to automate the process of collecting and distributing court documents and properly filing them within a DMS or knowledge system.

Now, with a recent Series C investment, PacerPro is working to further develop its product and expand its coverage from federal courts into state courts. 

On this episode of LawNext, McGrane joins host Bob Ambrogi to share the history and evolution of the company and discuss where he sees it going next.
