Global 200 firm selects legal technology company to provide
advanced ediscovery tools, AI-enabled features and scalable
professional services
DISCO (NYSE: LAW), a leader in AI-enabled legal technology,
announced it has been selected by Watson Farley & Williams
(WFW), a prominent Global 200 law firm, as the firm’s strategic
partner for ediscovery technology and services to support its
growing international disputes practice and client base.
WFW is a sector-focused law firm with 700+ lawyers in 19 offices
worldwide. Committed to equipping its geographically dispersed case
teams with intuitive, AI-enabled technology, the firm’s IT
organization, led by Joby Tyler, set out to evaluate the ediscovery
market to select a preferred global partner.
“WFW has prioritized the deployment of new technologies and
AI-driven solutions for driving excellence and efficiency in legal
service delivery, and our selection of DISCO is another example of
how our firm is forward-thinking when it comes to embracing
innovation and new approaches to client work,” said Joby Tyler, WFW
IT Director.
“Having received positive feedback from our Bangkok disputes
team regarding their use of DISCO on several recent matters, we
embarked on an extensive evaluation of their technology, security,
innovation approach and expertise,” Joby continued. “The WFW IT
team ran live pilot projects through DISCO Ediscovery as part of
our selection process. Whilst other products failed our hands-on
stress test, DISCO ticked all boxes required for my team and I to
support a global rollout to all WFW offices.”
“We’ve used various e-disclosure platforms in the past, but
having recently worked with DISCO on a fast-moving, complex
dispute, we knew right away that it gave us several advantages,
including speed, ease of adoption and cost clarity,” said Steven
Burkill, WFW Partner, Head of Bangkok office, Head of Asia Dispute
Resolution. “Also, DISCO AI proved critical for us in meeting
timelines and dealing with budget constraints in the
multi-jurisdiction disclosure process.”
The dispute involved analyzing over three million documents
under an extremely tight timeframe, leveraging WFW lawyers across
multiple offices. By combining DISCO’s technology, professional
services, and AI experts, WFW lawyers were able to meet their
objectives while significantly reducing disclosure costs and
delivering a highly accurate disclosure in less than two
months.
“We’re thrilled to deepen our relationship with WFW globally,
furthering the adoption of AI-driven solutions that allow lawyers
to rethink traditional workflows and budgets in the pursuit of
delivering favorable outcomes for their clients,” said Tripp
Hemphill, DISCO’s Global VP of Enterprise Markets. “We look forward
to supporting the firm’s case teams across North America, Europe,
the Middle East and Asia through our geographically dispersed
technical and services infrastructure. It’s rewarding for our team
to work with clients who value innovation that advances the
practice of law.”
In addition to immediate access to DISCO’s suite of
purpose-built litigation applications, the partnership provides WFW
with a front-row seat to pilot and adopt DISCO’s Cecilia Generative
AI solutions, which currently include Q&A, document
summarization, timeline generation, deposition summaries, and auto
review.
