About Kellon
Built by lawyers who ran these signings.
Kellon is not an outside idea about how legal practice should work. It comes from inside the workflow it is fixing.
Where this started
The calls that stayed with me were from families searching for a will nobody could locate.
Those calls were not about disputed intentions. They were about a document that existed, once, and a file that could no longer prove much about it. Everything Kellon does follows from that.

Lynn Chan
Co-Founder & CEO
Lynn began her career as paralegal in private practice across estate planning, litigation, and property. Working in estate planning, she took the calls from families searching for a will nobody could locate, and saw how much of the process still ran on paper and memory - particularly compared with areas of law that had already moved to digital workflows.
She saw how fragmented documentation and administrative coordination slowed matters and increased risk. After COVID, when many electronically signed wills required re-signing due to validity concerns, it reinforced her view that the systems supporting digital execution were underdeveloped.
Lynn understands the profession's caution - small errors can carry serious consequences. But she believes thoughtful infrastructure can strengthen, not undermine, that caution. In an ideal system, disputes should centre on content, not on whether formalities were properly documented.
Through Kellon, she is working to bring careful, well-designed digital structure to an area of law that touches every family.
Taha Akbarally
Co-Founder & CTO
Taha studied law to understand how the legal system works, and why it is often slower and more resistant to change than it needs to be.
Before Kellon, he worked on early-stage technology products, building systems designed to improve how professionals operate. He came to legal technology from the inside rather than the outside: through legal training and practice, he saw that the law itself serves an essential role, while the processes surrounding it can become conservative, fragmented, and difficult to evolve.
He believes complex systems can be improved through careful design. Kellon reflects that belief - applying technology to bring clarity and structure to legal workflows, not to replace lawyers, but to help the system function more effectively.

What we hold to
Three things we will not trade away.
01
Built to the standard, not around it
The requirements are not an obstacle to design around. They are the specification. Where the standard is unsettled, we wait for it rather than guessing and calling it a feature.
02
Survivability
A will may be read forty years after it is signed. The record has to work if we no longer exist.
03
The profession decides, not us
We are a vendor. What counts as a sufficient record is a question for practitioners, the courts and the profession's own bodies. Our job is to build to that answer, not to announce it.
