About
Two former city litigators built Jandr to close the gap between technology platform and legal requirement.
Our story
Jandr was founded in 2015 by Ryan and Jena Hockley. Ryan had practised as a dispute resolution associate at Travers Smith and Jena at Norton Rose Fulbright. Between them they had instructed document review providers many times and understood where those services fell short.
From the outset, Jandr has provided eDisclosure consultancy and, when needed, assembled fully autonomous review teams from a pool of experienced freelance lawyers. Over the last few years our relationship with Everlaw has deepened, and technology-led project management and hosting now sit at the centre of what we do.
Our approach
Our services are designed and overseen by qualified lawyers with real litigation experience. We combine an understanding of the legal objective with the best available technology to deliver reviews that are accurate, defensible and cost-effective.
Practitioner-led
Every matter is supervised by a lawyer who understands the legal objectives, not just the mechanics of the review platform. When a full review team is needed, we draw on a pool of experienced freelance lawyers.
Everlaw first
We are an Everlaw partner and reseller, and Everlaw sits at the centre of everything we do. With four certified project managers and over 20 years of combined Everlaw experience in the team, we are one of the most experienced Everlaw practices in the UK.
AI, supervised
We use AI where it delivers better outcomes for clients. We verify the outputs, apply legal judgement at every stage, and take full responsibility for the work product. The efficiency gains are passed on; the quality standards are not compromised.
The team

Ryan began his career as an IT consultant at PwC before qualifying as a lawyer and practising as a dispute resolution associate at Travers Smith. He subsequently held in-house legal roles at EY, Mercedes-Benz and Accenture, where he worked in Accenture’s international dispute resolution team. That combination of technology, private practice and in-house experience shapes how Jandr is run. Ryan leads business development, delivery oversight and operations.
Jena Hockley
Co-founder and Director
Jena practised as a dispute resolution associate at Norton Rose Fulbright before co-founding Jandr. Over the last ten years she has led document reviews for City and international law firms and is the main point of contact for clients on active matters. Jena oversees all review projects and the day-to-day running of the business.

What our clients say
“The AI capability embedded in Everlaw is remarkable. We needed to determine whether a particular statement had been made across a pool of around 500 documents. After a few iterations of the prompt, Everlaw identified all of the documents that could potentially be relevant, including by interpreting the words used, the significance of specific locations referenced, and the use of emojis. This contextualised analysis allowed us to be confident that the statement in question had not in fact been made. Without that level of analysis, it would have been much more difficult to reach that conclusion with any certainty. The whole process took around 20 minutes.”
Senior Associate,
Litigation Boutique
“We instructed Jandr on a DSAR connected to an underlying employment claim. After an initial discussion with Ryan and our head of IT, we opted for their fixed price service. Price certainty from the outset made it commercially sensible to satisfy the DSAR and defend the underlying claim. Without a cost-effective solution, we might have considered settling simply to dispense with the DSAR. Getting past it removes a potential point of leverage for the claimant and allows us to defend the claim on its merits.”
