Meet Claira: Practical AI-powered document review

Australian and New Zealand legal teams now have access to practical AI-powered document review through a collaboration between eDiscovery Collab and Claira.  

The exclusive collaboration combines Claira’s advanced AI review capabilities with eDiscovery Collab’s senior-led eDiscovery expertise, helping law firms, inhouse legal teams, insolvency practitioners, insurers and investigation teams uncover critical information faster, reduce review costs and make better-informed decisions from complex data. 

Rather than replacing legal expertise, the collaboration is designed to help legal professionals spend less time searching through documents and more time analysing the evidence that matters.  

After evaluating the rapidly evolving AI landscape, eDiscovery Collab selected Claira because it combines powerful AI capabilities with transparency, explainability and seamless integration into Nuix Neo Discover. These qualities are essential for legal teams working on complex and defensible matters. 

“Technology has evolved dramatically since I started my career in paper-based discovery more than 30 years ago,” said Kate Clark, CEO of eDiscovery Collab. 

“What excites me most about Claira is not simply the technology itself, but how practical it is. Where we previously relied on up to four different tools to achieve better outcomes for our clients, Claira allows us to do this all within a single platform, Nuix Neo Discover, without ever leaving that environment. Legal teams can ask questions in plain language and Claira translates those questions into the most effective review prompts behind the scenes. Teams then iterate, quickly testing ideas, uncovering key evidence, all within the platform they already know and use. Combined with the eDiscovery Collab team’s experience and expertise, Claira has the potential to fundamentally improve the way legal teams review information.” 

Claira integrates directly with Nuix Neo Discover, allowing reviewers to write natural language prompts, test them against individual documents and then scale those prompts across thousands of documents using Bulk Scan, all without leaving the Nuix Neo Discover environment. 

Australian and New Zealand organisations can now access Claira exclusively through eDiscovery Collab with local implementation, training and ongoing support. 

Lucas Fraser, CTO of Claira, said technology is only one part of successful AI adoption. 

“The real value comes from combining powerful AI with experienced professionals who understand legal workflows, investigations and defensible review. That’s exactly what eDiscovery Collab brings to Australian and New Zealand clients by implementing AI confidently, responsibly and in a way that delivers meaningful outcomes.”  

As organisations continue to manage rapidly growing volumes of electronically stored information, legal teams face increasing pressure to review data quickly while maintaining accuracy and defensibility.  

Document review has historically accounted for the largest share of eDiscovery spend, estimated at between 60% and 70% of total eDiscovery production costs in industry research over the past decade. At the same time, the volume and complexity of electronically stored information continue to grow with the US eDiscovery market projected to grow at a compound annual rate of 9.3% through 2025 to 2030.

Claira helps identify key evidence, relationships, communications and emerging issues earlier in the review process, supporting: 

• Early case assessment

• Investigations 

• Regulatory responses 

• Litigation 

• Arbitration 

• Internal reviews 

• Personally identifiable information (PII) identification and redaction 

Capable of analysing thousands of  documents per hour, Claira helps legal teams identify key evidence earlier, reduce review time and focus on higher-value legal work. It provides transparent, explainable and defensible AI-assisted review that increases speed, reduces cost and gives legal teams greater confidence in the review process. 

Claira is now available exclusively in Australia and New Zealand through eDiscovery Collab.
