Lighthouse, a leader in technology-enabled eDiscovery, compliance, and information governance services, has been selected as a finalist in two categories of the prestigious Legalweek Leaders in Tech Law Awards. The company was recognized for “Best Use of AI in E-Discovery and Litigation” and “M&A Transaction Innovation,” further cementing its reputation as a trailblazer in leveraging AI to transform legal discovery and antitrust processes and drive efficiency in high-stakes matters.
“Our recognition as a finalist is a testament to the strategic investments we’ve made in AI innovation over the last six years, and the trust our clients have placed in us to deliver results in their most critical matters using that technology,” said Ron Markezich, Lighthouse CEO. “Our clients benefit from AI solutions that aren’t experimental but are battle-tested and tuned for their specific needs. We don’t just deliver technology; we deliver outcomes that withstand scrutiny in the most demanding legal and regulatory environments.”
While there are many headlines around new AI initiatives, Lighthouse has spent years developing AI solutions designed explicitly for eDiscovery data, ensuring they are not only powerful but also defensible in high-stakes litigation. As just one example, an enormous 200,000 entry privilege log created using Lighthouse's Gen AI-powered service recently received unchallenged acceptance by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
Since introducing LLM-based predictive AI for eDiscovery in 2019, Lighthouse has been at the forefront of developing AI solutions purpose-fit for eDiscovery. Building on this foundation, Lighthouse integrated generative AI capabilities in 2023, further advancing its ability to deliver innovative, defensible, and client-specific solutions. The company’s deep bench of linguistic and AI experts further differentiates its approach, ensuring human-in-the-loop processes and fine-tuning of Large Language Models (LLMs) resulting in much higher accuracy results in even the most complex matters.
Lighthouse’s innovative approaches were demonstrated in both categories of the Legalweek Leaders in Tech Law Awards for which it has been named a finalist:
- For the best use of AI in E-Discovery category, Lighthouse’s AI for Privilege was recognized for multiple notable successes, including its use of predictive AI to help identify privileged documents and generative AI to draft privilege log entries in a high-stakes Hart-Scott-Rodino Act Second Request.
- In the category of innovations in M&A, Lighthouse’s Key Document Review technology and experts were honored for their success in discovery in a particularly challenging acquisition environment.
The fifth annual Legalweek Leaders in Tech Law Awards honor individuals and organizations who have been at the forefront of legal innovation. Winners will be announced on March 24 at Legalweek 2025 in New York.
Lighthouse encourages its clients and partners to explore how its proven, award-winning AI solutions can streamline eDiscovery workflows, reduce costs, and improve accuracy, including the opportunity to meet in person with Lighthouse experts during Legalweek in New York.
