Pioneers in Legal Technology
Not our first rodeo . . .
Our founder and his team have been driving innovation in legal technology for over two decades:
- Built one of the industry’s first cloud discovery platforms in the late 1990s
- Launched one of the first multi-language discovery systems in 2007
- Introduced CAL for technology-assisted review in 2012
After selling our first company, we’re pushing the boundaries once again. Our team of legal and technology experts is committed to reengineering discovery workflow to radically improve how legal and investigation professionals interact with unstructured data and get their work done.
Experience matters. Combining decades of ediscovery expertise with cutting-edge AI and cloud technology creates something powerful. Something worth a serious look.
Don’t just take our word for it.
