About Relativity
Relativity is the gold standard in e-discovery technology, trusted by law firms, corporations, and government agencies worldwide to manage the most complex litigation, investigation, and regulatory response matters. Its AI-powered analytics capabilities transform the way legal teams process and review massive document sets—making even the largest and most complex matters manageable through intelligent technology.
AI-Powered Document Review
Relativity's active learning technology—formerly known as Relativity's Assisted Review—uses predictive coding to prioritize the most relevant documents for human review, dramatically reducing the total volume requiring attorney attention. As reviewers code documents, the AI model continuously improves, surfacing the highest-value documents first and deprioritizing clearly non-responsive content.
Analytics Suite
Relativity Analytics provides a comprehensive suite of tools including email threading to reconstruct conversation context, near-duplicate detection to identify related documents, concept clustering to group thematically related content, and language identification for multilingual document sets. These tools enable efficient, systematic review that would be impossible through linear document-by-document approaches.
Processing and Ingestion
Relativity can ingest and process virtually any data type: emails, Office documents, databases, mobile device data, social media, cloud storage, and more. Its processing engine extracts text, metadata, and embedded content, normalizing diverse data formats into a consistent, searchable format for review.
RelativityOne: Cloud-Native Platform
RelativityOne is the cloud-based version of the platform, offering elastic scalability for large surges in data volume, built-in security and compliance, automatic updates, and reduced infrastructure management burden. It has become the preferred deployment model for most new implementations.
Collaboration and Case Management
Relativity's workspace model supports complex multi-party litigation with fine-grained access controls, privilege review workflows, production functionality, and audit trails. Its API ecosystem enables deep integration with law firm practice management systems, data collection tools, and downstream production platforms.
Who Uses Relativity
Relativity is used by Am Law 200 law firms, Big Four consulting firms, Fortune 500 corporate legal departments, and government agencies for litigation support, internal investigations, regulatory response, and compliance review.
