Four litigating divisions of DOJ join the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys, Criminal, and Environmental and Natural Resources divisions in licensing Relativity for e-discovery review
Jan 24, 2012 Chicago, IL and Washington, D.C. – kCura, the developers of Relativity—the web-based e-discovery software for reviewing, analyzing, and producing electronic documents during litigation and investigations—announced today with TechLaw Solutions that the Antitrust (ATR), Civil (CIV), Civil Rights (CRT), and Tax (TAX) divisions of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) have all purchased a license of Relativity, joining three other litigating DOJ divisions that have already licensed the e-discovery platform.
Relativity provides image and native file review, integrated productions, and the ability for users to create custom applications within the software to manage all types of data associated with a project. Additionally, Relativity’s computer-assisted review workflow magnifies the efforts of review teams by allowing them to train Relativity based on their expertise. Relativity Assisted Review makes use of Relativity’s text analytics engine and statistical sampling methodology to validate the quality of the document decisions being made.
Other Relativity advantages include:
• Ease of Use – Attorneys are able to be trained and productive in Relativity in as little as 20 minutes.
• Scalability – Relativity handles some of the industry’s largest cases.
• Flexibility – Relativity provides flexible and automated workflow capabilities to suit the specific needs of an attorney or review team.
“We are proud to be selected by the DOJ for their e-discovery needs,” said Andrew Sieja, president and CEO of kCura. “We saw a big increase in the use of Relativity by the government last year, and we believe that adoption will continue to grow this year. We’ve put more feet on the ground in D.C. to better support our government users, and we want to make sure they are really successful with our software.”
The DOJ’s Relativity license was purchased through TechLaw Solutions, a leader in litigation support and e-discovery management. TechLaw Solutions manages a GSA contract for government purchase of Relativity.
