Ashurst Perkins Coie Transforms Global e-Discovery Operations with Relativity aiR & Epiq

The Challenge: Scaling Smarter, Not Harder

As disputes and investigations became a key growth area for global law firm Ashurst Perkins Coie, they needed an enterprise-grade e-discovery platform that could keep pace. Their challenge: scale e-discovery operations across multiple jurisdictions, handle increasingly complex and diverse modern data types, and meet evolving disclosure obligations – all without slowing down.

Their existing solutions lacked the flexibility and advanced capabilities to keep up in today's sophisticated information environment.

The Solution: Relativity aiR + Epiq

Ashurst Perkins Coie partnered with Relativity and Epiq to implement a dedicated Relativity aiR instance, providing end-to-end e-discovery capabilities across their global territories with particular focus on Australia and the UK.

With cutting-edge AI – such as aiR Review – and built-in support for modern data types, Relativity aiR empowers Ashurst Perkins Coie from collection through production.

Additionally, strategic collaboration between Epiq and Relativity APAC and EMEA teams ensured seamless integration with Ashurst Perkins Coie 's existing workflows, while meeting strict data residency requirements across multiple jurisdictions.

"Migrating Ashurst Perkins Coie to Relativity aiR was a significant effort, requiring 24/7 support. Leveraging Epiq to manage the design, implementation, workflow configuration, and maintenance, the Ashurst Perkins Coie team was able to stay focused on their case work and can now develop custom solutions with the co-managed Azure environment."
