Our Story

We’re excited to share our story with you! NextGenFile began in a Startup Launch class at Georgia Tech, where six passionate students - Royce Arockisamy, Merritt Blum, Daniel Cseh, Matthew Geuss, Aashni Patel, and Kara Taylor - came together to solve what was once a major administrative headache.

Our Journey

Our inspiration for this platform was born from the unique background of one of our team members, who grew up witnessing the dedication of both parents in the legal field—one as an attorney, the other as a chief magistrate judge. This perspective helped us recognize the value of well-earned time off, so we set out to create a solution that makes it easy for attorneys to secure that time.

At NextGenFile, we are transforming how attorneys and law firms manage Leave of Absence (LOA) filings. Our mission is to streamline the filing process with a “one-stop-shop” platform that consolidates LOA submissions across PeachCourt and Odyssey systems. Instead of the traditional, time-consuming case-by-case approach, NextGenFile allows legal professionals to file leaves with a single, efficient click.

Our Values

We are guided by three core values: Innovation, Integrity, and Respect. We are dedicated to designing forward-thinking solutions that make LOA filings straightforward and stress-free. Integrity is essential in our work; we are committed to providing a secure, reliable experience for our users. Above all, we respect the legal profession and tailor our services to support the balance of work and well-being.

What began as a class project has grown into a fully operational platform designed to make life easier for attorneys. Thank you for being a part of our journey. We can’t wait to share this adventure with you and grow together!
