“With the exponential growth of electronically stored information and evolving state and federal regulations, organisations must be more proactive than ever in managing risks – including cyber threats, regulatory compliance, data privacy and legal exposure,” said Bobby Balachandran, Exterro’s founder and CEO. “By combining Exterro’s cutting-edge technology with Integreon’s proven expert services, organizations can effectively find, analyze and protect against these risks, staying ahead of emerging threats.”
Elsewhere Everlaw, the cloud-native investigation and litigation platform, on 18 March announced a new GenAI-powered addition to the EverlawAI Assistant portfolio, code-named Project Query, available in a closed beta program and to be demoed at Legalweek 2025. Everlaw says it delivers an AI breakthrough for legal teams to expedite the investigation of a large corpus of documents in seconds.
EverlawAI says that Assistant’s Project Query aims to deliver on the promise of retrieval augmented generation, allowing legal teams to ask questions across terabytes of eDiscovery at once, while compensating for legal’s ‘unfriendly’ sprawl of unstructured data. Everlaw designed Project Query with the idea that legal teams may ask about more nuanced elements: behaviours, intent, actors and conditions. We’re told that Query has a sophisticated refinement process to find relevant evidence for natural language queries.
“Pinpointing facts in a vast corpus is gold and doing it in seconds is game-changing,” said Steven Delaney, litigation support director at Am Law 200 business law firm Benesch. “Project Query feels more elegant than keyword search, delivering answers—not just documents—instantly. By getting straight to the facts, we can save time, prioritize strategy and reshape the discovery workflow.”
In other news this week, Veritext Legal Solutions, a leader in technology-enabled court reporting services and litigation support solutions announced a new development for its suite of Smart Summary offerings. The AI-generated transcript summaries will now be available in hearings, arbitrations and court trials.
“We understand that hearings, arbitrations and court trial proceedings can span several consecutive days and are conducted at a fast pace,” said Mike Murray, Veritext’s director of technical and creative solutions. “For that reason, Smart Summaries are now available for these proceeding types, allowing legal teams and judges access to an AI-generated transcript summary that can aid in preparation and case review for the next day’s proceedings.”
And last but not least, Relativity has unveiled its fourth annual list of AI Visionaries. The list recognises and celebrates individuals who have led AI innovations in legal applications. The winners span Fortune 500 companies and top Am Law firms working in the litigation and eDiscovery space.
“This past year marked a watershed moment in the legal industry where AI use became immeasurably more common, more advanced and, in truth, anything but ordinary,” said Phil Saunders, CEO of Relativity. “AI Visionaries have not only embraced this transformation but have also led the charge. With pride, we celebrate the 2025 AI Visionaries and their roles in bringing the legal industry deeper into the future.”
