Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

Traditional disputes and investigations rely on armies of lawyers and analysts manually reviewing documents, communications, and transaction data, which is slow, expensive, and prone to human error. AI-enabled workflows aim to accelerate evidence review, improve pattern detection, and help teams comply with rapidly evolving AI and data regulations in contentious legal and regulatory matters.

Cost reduction in document review and investigations (fewer billable hours, smaller review teams)Speed to insight in disputes, internal investigations, and regulatory responsesImproved risk detection through pattern recognition and anomaly spotting across large datasetsRegulatory and compliance risk mitigation by aligning AI use with emerging legislation and guidanceHigher quality case strategy via better evidence surfacing and summarization

Strategic Moat

Domain-specific expertise in disputes, investigations, and regulatory environments combined with proprietary playbooks, workflows, and curated datasets for legal review and forensic analysis. Strong client relationships and integration into sensitive legal workflows create switching costs.
