Transforming the Legal Industry with AI

At Legalweek 2025, Relativity is making waves in the legal technology scene with its impressive generative AI product suite, known as Relativity aiR. During this event, the company showcased the transformative effects these AI tools are having on legal processes, particularly in the areas of document review and information management.

The Power of aiR

Generative AI has proven to be a game-changer for many industries, and the legal sector is no exception. Relativity's aiR product suite is designed to enhance the speed and accuracy of legal reviews, assisting professionals in navigating vast datasets to unearth critical information.

Phil Saunders, CEO of Relativity, emphasized the company's dedication to integrating AI into their offerings for years, setting the stage for this technological leap. He stated, "We're not just evolving with the industry; we're driving it forward," indicating that Relativity intends to equip its clients with the necessary tools and education to thrive in a rapidly changing environment.

Significant Impact of aiR

Since its launch in late 2024, hundreds of legal professionals have adopted aiR tools, reporting remarkable benefits. For example, early users noted that aiR for Review and aiR for Privilege significantly decreased both time and costs associated with legal review processes while enhancing overall accuracy.

According to Cody Holifield, Director of Managed Review at Cimplifi, the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of aiR’s privilege review capabilities position it favorably against traditional, linear review processes. The tool is adept at recognizing complex privilege concepts and substantiating its decisions, instilling confidence in its users.

Users have shared that these advanced AI tools lead to massive reductions in review time—up to 80%—and significant cost savings, some reporting reductions of up to 70%. This is especially crucial in contexts where meticulous document review can mean the difference between winning and losing a case.

Enhancing Public Sector Efficiency

Relativity has not only focused on private sector clients but is also aiming to revolutionize document review processes in the public sector. Starting March 31, aiR for Review will be available within RelativityOne Government, designed to deliver substantial improvements in document review efficiency during litigation and investigations. This product is uniquely positioned as the only FedRAMP-authorized generative AI tool built specifically for governmental document review.

As Ben Sexton, Senior Vice President of Innovation and Strategy at JND Legal Administration pointed out, public agencies often operate under tight resource constraints. aiR enables them to streamline workflows and focus on high-priority documents efficiently, even in cases involving millions of files.

Celebrating AI Visionaries

Highlighting the firm's commitment to integrating AI into legal practices, Relativity hosted its fourth annual dinner to honor AI Visionaries—those leading innovations in AI applications within legal settings. This event celebrated leaders from major corporations and top law firms, reinforcing the importance of AI in contemporary legal practices.

Amidst their active participation in Legalweek sessions, Relativity promotes discussions around the role of AI in transforming legal processes, from ethical considerations to establishing electronic storage information protocols for using AI in discovery.

Experiencing aiR at Legalweek

Attendees at Legalweek 2025 can engage hands-on with aiR at Relativity's booth, where they can explore the RelativityOne environment and test real-time applications. After this initial experience, guests can further their understanding through the aiR for Review Learning Lab, offering in-depth insights into the technology.
