Named ‘Top Global NewLaw Company’ (LawFlex 2026).

What practitioners struggle with

Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems Consilio addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.

eDiscovery costs are insane — traditional vendors charge per-GB processing fees that can hit $100K+ for a single matter, making it economically impossible for small-to-mid firms to run proper discovery

Document Review & Management 55 vendors affected Small firm (2–10) · Mid-size firm (11–50) · In-house counsel · Large firm (51–200)

Legal hold notices go out by email, half the custodians ignore them, nobody tracks acknowledgment — six months later a key custodian deleted relevant Slack messages and now there's a spoliation fight

Filing & Compliance 31 vendors affected In-house counsel · Mid-size firm (11–50) · Large firm (51–200) · Government

500K documents to review, contract attorneys burning out after 4 hours of screen-staring, nobody knows if the review is consistent across 20 reviewers — and the partner watching the budget bleed

Document Review & Management 62 vendors affected Mid-size firm (11–50) · Large firm (51–200) · In-house counsel · Government
