Overview

Everlaw provides a modern, integrated platform for handling the complexities of e-discovery, investigations, and litigation. Built entirely in the cloud, it offers fast data processing, ingestion, and review capabilities. Its AI features, notably Predictive Coding (using Continuous Active Learning), help legal teams prioritize relevant documents efficiently. Everlaw also includes unsupervised learning features like Clustering to uncover hidden patterns in data. A key differentiator is Storybuilder™, which allows teams to collaboratively build case outlines, timelines, and arguments directly linking to evidence within the platform. It supports various data types, including A/V files with transcription, and offers robust collaboration, search, and production features, all within a secure, FedRAMP-authorized environment.
