About
What is Relativity? Relativity is the industry-standard e-discovery software designed to help legal, compliance, and investigative teams manage massive volumes of electronic data. Think of it as a specialized Media OS for the legal world. It organizes unstructured data—like emails, text messages, and documents—into a searchable, reviewable format. Whether through its secure cloud version, RelativityOne, or on-premise servers, it allows users to "discover the truth" within millions of records during litigation or internal investigations.

Who Uses Relativity?

Relativity is the backbone for high-stakes data analysis across several sectors:

  • Law Firms: From boutique practices to the Am Law 200, attorneys use it for document review and case strategy.
  • Corporations: Fortune 100 companies utilize it for internal investigations, data breach responses, and regulatory compliance.
  • Government Agencies: The U.S. Department of Justice and other global entities use it to manage public records and high-profile litigations.
  • Legal Service Providers: Consultants who manage the "heavy lifting" of data processing and hosting for large-scale projects.

Why Choose Relativity?

Choose Relativity for its unmatched scalability and AI integration. While a standard search engine might give you a simple relativity formula for finding keywords, this software uses Continuous Active Learning (CAL) to predict which documents are relevant, saving thousands of manual review hours. It is much more than a relativity book of records; it is an extensible ecosystem with an App Hub that lets you customize your workflow, ensuring you stay ahead in a world of "data sprawl."

What are the Benefits of Relativity?

Relativity transforms raw data into actionable legal intelligence:

  1. Massive Scalability: Effortlessly handle cases with over 90 million records without compromising on speed or performance.
  2. Advanced AI (Relativity aiR): Use Generative AI to summarize complex documents, identify privileged info, and build case chronologies automatically.
  3. End-to-End Workflow: Manage the entire lifecycle—from legal hold and data collection to final production—in a single relativity login.
  4. Short Message Support: Review modern data types like Slack, Teams, and WhatsApp in their native, conversational format.
  5. Bank-Grade Security: Rest easy with FedRAMP, SOC 2, and HIPAA compliance, ensuring your most sensitive data is protected.

How to Use Relativity?

The platform is designed to be a "workhorse" for your legal team:

  1. Data Ingestion: Use the processing engine to extract metadata and prepare native files for review.
  2. Search & Analytics: Apply keyword searches and textual near-duplicate detection to cull the "noise" and focus on relevant data.
  3. Review & Coding: Use the intuitive viewer to tag (code) documents as responsive or privileged. You can even use A/V transcription to search audio files.
  4. Production: Securely export the final set of documents with bates-stamping and redactions for opposing counsel or regulators.

What are the Features of Relativity?

Relativity offers a robust toolkit for modern legal professionals:

  1. RelativityOne (SaaS): A secure, cloud-based platform built on Microsoft Azure for global accessibility.
  2. Relativity aiR: Purpose-built Generative AI for review, privilege analysis, and case strategy.
  3. Legal Hold: Automate the process of notifying custodians to preserve data for upcoming litigation.
  4. Audio & Video Suite: Automatically transcribe and search media files across 100+ languages.
  5. App Hub: A marketplace of third-party integrations, from Relativity Space (data visualization) to specialized translation tools.
  6. Review Center: A centralized dashboard to monitor progress, accuracy (precision/recall), and team performance.
