Gaining Exposure to Diverse Case Experiences: John Ascik’s Rise to Legal Operations Squad Leader
evenup-test-image

Like many of his colleagues, John Ascik worked at a personal injury law firm before joining EvenUp.

He was given a sample demand letter to review during his EvenUp interview to see if he could identify and correct quality issues. As he identified all the intentional errors, he was impressed with the comprehension of EvenUp’s generated demand—far more precise than other drafting tools he’d encountered.

“This is better—this is the way it should be,” John said about EvenUp’s demand.

John joined EvenUp in June 2023 as a Legal Operations Associate and quickly rose to a Squad Leader for the Legal Operations team. His time at the company has been transformative. 

He leads a team of eight full-time employees and three contractors. His team oversees the production of personal injury demands for law firms in over 15 states. His role involves training drafters, maintaining quality standards, and liaising with law firms. He’s also responsible for making strategic decisions on how best to present the clients' stories such that they maximize their settlement outcomes. 

At his previous employer, the firm expected him to draft about 10 demands per month. Now at EvenUp, John’s team drafts between 40 and 50 demands per week. 

John was recently interviewed about his professional development at EvenUp and shared the following insights on significant ways the company has enabled him to grow as a leader.

Achieving SOC 2 Type 2 Certification and HIPAA Attestation reflects EvenUp’s continued focus on ensuring robust protection and privacy measures for the personal injury cases it handles. These important milestones highlight EvenUp's unwavering commitment to safeguarding its customers' sensitive data with the highest security and compliance standards.

"Our mission at EvenUp is to level the playing field in personal injury cases, ensuring that every case is settled based on its true merit. These certifications are a testament to our dedication to providing transparency and upholding the highest standards for protecting client data."

Ray Mieszaniec, EvenUp Founder and COO

The SOC 2 Type 2 recertification is a rigorous audit process designed to evaluate an organization's ability to manage customer data securely and in compliance with industry standards. Likewise, HIPAA attestation refers to an independent verification or confirmation that an organization complies with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requirements. While HIPAA itself does not mandate formal certification, organizations often undergo an audit or assessment conducted by a qualified third party to validate their compliance with HIPAA standards. This process results in an attestation that the organization has implemented and follows the required safeguards to protect Protected Health Information (PHI).

The successful completion of the SOC 2 Type 2 recertification and HIPAA attestation follows an intensive audit process that evaluates EvenUp's internal controls related to security, availability, confidentiality, and privacy. These measures ensure that EvenUp’s data practices align with industry best practices and demonstrate a commitment to safeguarding personal information.

"At EvenUp, we believe that our clients deserve the highest level of protection and transparency. These safeguards reinforce our pledge to maintain secure, compliant, and trustworthy systems as we work to support personal injury law firms and their clients."

Rami Karabibar, EvenUp Founder and CEO
