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

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

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
