Ashurst Transforms Global e-Discovery Operations with RelativityOne & Epiq

The Challenge: Scaling Smarter, Not Harder

As disputes and investigations became a key growth area for global law firm Ashurst, 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: RelativityOne + Epiq

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

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

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

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

The Results: Speed, Scale, and Smarter Review

The switch to RelativityOne has delivered immediate efficiency gains in document review and data management processes for Ashurst. RelativityOne's automated workflows have significantly reduced manual intervention requirements, while faster data transfer and processing capabilities enable Ashurst to respond more agilely to time-critical client requests.

Additionally, RelativityOne’s robust AI capabilities are streamlining review processes, allowing the firm to handle large data volumes with greater accuracy and speed – directly supporting Ashurst Advance's mission of "outpacing change" through digital innovation.

"RelativityOne has been a real game-changer for our team. The platform's automated workflows have significantly reduced the need for manual intervention, and the speed of data transfer and processing means we can be much more agile when responding to clients' time-critical requests, getting documents in front of our lawyers much more quickly."
