Tired of switching eDiscovery providers with every matter?
Internal budget pressures may be driving the search for new providers, but your organisation only ends up losing out with every handover.
Your provider changes every time you switch firms
Each law firm brings their preferred technology provider. That means new systems to learn, new contacts to manage, and new processes to follow. You're constantly starting from scratch, explaining your business and systems to people who don't know you, wasting time you don't have.
Your limited team can't be technology experts too
Unlike law firms with dedicated support teams, your lean legal department juggles everything. You need document management expertise but can't justify hiring specialists (let alone upgrading to the latest platform). Meanwhile, each new provider assumes you know their system, leaving you to figure it out alone.
Your costs spiral without trusted relationships
Without an established provider relationship, you can't accurately budget for document management and discovery. Every matter brings surprise costs because you're dealing with strangers who don't understand your business. Early engagement becomes impossible when you don't know who to call or what it will cost.
Your control diminishes with each provider handover
When technology decisions get made by external law firms without your input, you lose visibility and control. Suddenly you're paying for inefficient processes, duplicated work, and solutions that don't fit your needs, all because the relationship sits with your law firm, not with you.

Tackle your eDiscovery challenges head on
Level the playing field by working with a trusted technology partner. Enjoy transparent pricing and access to the same eDiscovery platforms used by larger firms while benefitting from the expertise of a specialist senior-led team.
Your systems, our expertise - a perfect match
Stop explaining your IT infrastructure to new providers every time. Our senior consultants invest time learning your systems once, then apply that knowledge across every matter. We become an extension of your team who already knows where everything lives, how it's structured, and who to talk to. That deep knowledge means faster collections, fewer surprises, and dramatically reduced costs.
Your budget becomes predictable (finally)
The key factors for inhouse counsel are cost, security, knowledge, and service. With our transparent pricing and established relationship, you can actually budget for document management and discovery. No more shocking invoices from providers you've never met. You'll know costs upfront, control scope creep, and have a trusted advisor who helps you make smart financial decisions.

Be the one in control of your documents
Take charge of document management by partnering directly with an eDiscovery technology provider who understands your approach, knows the importance of being involved from the very beginning and can work with you to anticipate potential issues.
Your control increases, stress decreases
When document management runs through your law firms, you lose visibility and control. Our direct relationship puts you back in the driver's seat. You decide collection strategies, review approaches, and cost trade-offs. Your external lawyers focus on legal strategy while you maintain control of the discovery process. One provider, consistent processes, your rules.
Your early engagement saves thousands
The earlier we're involved, the more we can save you. Because you already have our number and know our rates, you can call us at the first sign of trouble. We help preserve evidence, scope requirements, and plan strategies before costs escalate. That established relationship means no procurement delays—just immediate expert assistance when you need it most.
Your search for a solution and a partner ends here
Stop starting from scratch with every new matter. Build a relationship with senior experts who learn your business, respect your budget, and deliver consistent excellence across every challenge you face—from litigation to investigations to regulatory responses.
