QuisLex, an alternative legal services provider, announced the appointment of Sirisha Gummaregula as its president and chief executive officer. And this leadership transition validates the company’s continued commitment to delivering innovative legal and compliance solutions to clients around the globe.
Gummaregula—who co-founded QuisLex in 2004—has been instrumental in building the company into a globally recognized leader in the alternative legal services, or NewLaw, sector.

Gummaregula started her career as an M&A attorney at Shearman & Sterling in New York before taking on prominent in-house roles, including as assistant general counsel and corporate secretary at Quest Diagnostics. There, she identified an unmet need in the legal ecosystem and chose to explore a new approach, taking the risk of co-launching QuisLex, a startup designed to disrupt the legal industry. She holds degrees in law from the University of Madras and Northwestern Pritzker School of Law.
Gummaregula’s tenure as QuisLex CEO started on March 1, 2025, and Vasudevan will focus on growing the group’s investments and affiliated entities in cybersecurity and technology.
