We believe that discovering truth is fundamental to the creation of a more just world.
The events surrounding social injustice in the United States, and broader discussions on advancing justice globally, have greatly impacted us and the communities in which we live and work – shining a light on oppression and injustice that have existed for hundreds of years.
We created the Justice for Change program to leverage the unique capabilities of Relativity and our ecosystem to positively impact social justice in our communities.
Access Justice
We aim to create a world where social justice and pro bono efforts are strengthened by one’s ability to access the resources necessary to discover the truth.
Through Technology
We empower the Relativity community to tackle social justice issues by providing the technology needed to Organize Data, Discover the Truth, and Act on It.

Our Pro Bono Partners
There’s a story behind every partnership, every case, and every person. We’re proud to work alongside incredible partner firms and companies, as we fight injustice and advocate for change, together.
Justice for Change is a proud participant in the Pro Bono Institute ExpertConnect Pro Bono Hub, which connects pro bono and public interest legal teams with expert services providers who volunteer their expertise free of charge.
"Relativity’s Justice for Change program specifically targets individuals who might not otherwise have access to justice or might not have the ability to incorporate the tools required to pursue litigation."
"They were able to organize all of the key facts and issues with their case and create a chronology of events that decompressed the timeline necessary to form their case strategy by about twelve months."
