Workflows
Based on practitioner evidence, Discovery Assistant is used in these workflows:
What practitioners struggle with
Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems Discovery Assistant 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
eDiscovery tools require a dedicated specialist to operate — Relativity needs an admin, but most small/mid litigation teams don't have one and need something a paralegal can use after a 30-minute demo
