• Expanded AI capabilities in the UK and EU with the launch of EverlawAI Assistant, offering in-region data processing to meet European security and compliance needs
• Award of G-Cloud status by the UK government, enabling public sector organisations in the UK to access Everlaw’s secure, cloud-based eDiscovery platform

GenAI-powered EverlawAI Assistant and G-Cloud

To further address the preferences of UK and European organisations for in-region data processing and residency, Everlaw is providing customers with greater control over their data. UK- and EU-based customers can now leverage EverlawAI Assistant while ensuring their data remains within regional boundaries. This enhancement is designed to meet many European customers' data security and sovereignty requirements, offering an added layer of compliance and trust. As with the US implementation, no data is retained and never used to train AI service providers' models.

Everlaw launched its suite of GenAI-powered features, EverlawAI Assistant, in the autumn of 2024 based on its generative AI principles and the input of nearly 3,000 users whose real-world use shaped and improved the product.

“Enterprise-grade security and control are at the core of our GenAI features,” said AJ Shankar, founder and CEO of Everlaw. “By enabling in-region AI processing, we’re giving our UK and European customers greater confidence in adopting AI while ensuring their data remains protected within local boundaries.”

The UK government has awarded Everlaw G-Cloud status. Through the G-Cloud framework, Everlaw can sell its software for inquiries, investigations, litigation, arbitration, tribunals, DSAR/SAR and other regulatory matters to the UK government.

AI-Based Translations for Greater Efficiency in International Matters

Everlaw Translations is a new AI-powered feature designed to accelerate the initial translation of large document sets by generating translated text files stored alongside the originals. Legal professionals handling complex international litigation and investigations often struggle to manage foreign-language documents. Everlaw Translations allows legal teams to efficiently translate documents in bulk and leverage Everlaw’s advanced analytics and review tools to gain a clear understanding of foreign-language content. Teams can then identify key documents to share with human translators for more refined and nuanced translations, streamlining the review process.

Everlaw Translations offers key benefits, including streamlined multilingual document reviews with bulk processing that reduces costs while maintaining enterprise-grade security with Everlaw. In addition, our translation service providers do not use customers’ data to develop or improve their services or models.

Everlaw Translations offers significant cost savings to competing document-based offerings. Translated text automatically integrates with Everlaw's rich analytics and other AI features, providing an efficient end-to-end solution for legal teams handling foreign-language documents.

Everlaw Staging Drive: Secure, Centralised Data Storage

Everlaw Staging Drive provides highly secure pre-processing storage where customers can organise files before uploading for early case assessment or review. Administrator-managed and project-independent, it addresses organisational needs for boutique law firms to Am Law 200 firms, corporations, and government agencies. This new offering enhances Everlaw's end-to-end capabilities, helping teams manage terabytes of discoverable data efficiently. Staging Drive consolidates and simplifies data management by organising everything in a centralised environment.

Specifically, Everlaw Staging Drive helps legal teams gather, store, and organise documents before entering the formal discovery phase in litigation or investigations. This gives teams a head start for when they need to prepare for responses. Users can create folders to organise container files, rename files, assign custodians on the fly, add descriptions to documents, and sort uploaded files and folders by various fields. As cases progress, files can be easily selected from the Staging Drive for early case assessment or review within Everlaw. Staging Drive helps users keep their data secure through Everlaw’s stringent security protocols.
