CEO Elie Francis CRO Doug Kaminski While you may not be familiar with Infinnium, I am betting that it will appear on corporate legal's radar this year. Their 4iG platform was launched in 2018 and previously seemed focused on enterprise governance through in-place processing and analytics. Familiar eDiscovery rock stars Elie Francis (Driven/One Discovery) and Doug Kaminski (Relativity/Consilio) joining [...]
LegalWeek 2025 was a wild ride that started and ended early for me this year. My thanks to everyone who managed to find my impromptu Sunday happy hour gathering. My Mon-Wed schedule was filled, so it spilled over to Sunday and we made the most of the time. Our industry is experiencing an unprecedented rate of change, a Shakubuku moment (alternative definition). Some players [...]
Legal technology seems to be riding the AI wave with exhibitors old and new investing in booths. My annual sponsor/exhibitor charts and the published Legal Week metrics reflect this uplift in technology and service providers eager to show off their AI-enhanced offerings. Not too long ago I was predicting a slow decline in conference attendance and exhibitors based on the steady consolidation and acquisition [...]
After around 30 years of LTNY (LegalWeek now), pre-conference activities and social events can tell you a lot about the industry and where companies are allocating their event budgets. Thanks to Stephanie Clerkin and Maria Victoria Yuste for building the social event list this year (I thought that Stephanie Wilkins also did this, but LI search is terrible). Almost all the networking events are [...]
The new Purview eDiscovery Hub UX has exited the 'preview' stage and is theoretically ready for actual use. The classic eDiscovery UX will be EoL in August 2025, so you have 5 months to adapt your workflows and test the new UX. Since November I and clients have been testing the new hub (when time allows). That testing has given me a much deeper [...]

This new offering leverages the Exterro platform, FTK Suite(acquired 2020) and an agent installed on legal team workstation. The custodian grants one-time trust permission for collection access and the incremental collections are made without disrupting users while they are connected to [...]
264 in development – 71 Rolling out – 88 Launched New features were dominated by Copilot integrations and development support last month. Some minor Purview release date updates and adding Loop Workspaces to Teams channels are the only real eDiscovery related roadmap updates. I would like to call attention to the "(Preview)" label in the new Purview eDiscovery Hub UX. Users are already been [...]
Another Legal Week year in NY with all my technology peers! So far, I am on a star-studded panel on Collaboration in Complex Litigation Tuesday at 3:30, so please come and enjoy some recent collaboration do's and don'ts from the trenches. Have a new product or offering to show me? Maybe just want to talk shop about Microsoft Purview and their new portal? [...]
A young Houston Police Department CSI with a table of evidence, my how the years have flown My apologies for going dark over the holidays. My favorite client asked for an intervention, and I have been back in the trenches running Purview searches and meeting unmovable deadlines. You will benefit from a lot of anonymized lessons learned when I have caught up [...]
“What is your 2025 prediction?” asked Relativity’s David Horrigan of the E-Discovery State of the Union panel alumni for his and Stephani Wilkins 2025 Predictions webinar (posted soon). I was under water photographing Bonaire’s amazing sea life and missed the response window. A moment’s reflection on the data source growth trends and bonfire cases I supported this year said, “Email is dead, long live [...]
