Legal technology company DISCO is expanding well beyond its e-discovery roots with a new product it describes as the industry’s first unified litigation solution.
Founded in 2013, DISCO built its reputation on e-discovery technology, but the company now aims to reshape how litigation teams manage the full lifecycle of a case.
The new AI-native application brings together the facts of a matter with relevant U.S. case law, all accessible through what the company describes as a single pane of glass.
The product, which has not yet been formally named, is currently in pilot with five law firms on live cases, with general availability planned for early next year.
“DISCO’s unified litigation solution brings your facts and the controlling law together in a single pane of glass that connects your evidence, claims, and legal authority within and across matters, and evolves with every new fact,” the product’s website states.
DISCO says the platform incorporates patent-pending, litigation-specific workflows designed to give legal teams a structural advantage in how they build and manage their cases.
The company plans to expand the solution into a full suite of integrated capabilities spanning fact development, drafting, case strategy, trial preparation, and case management from filing through to verdict.
CEO Eric Friedrichsen said the goal is to unlock knowledge that currently sits fragmented across individual lawyers and cases within a firm.
“We believe a solution that understands a case and the law and carries that context forward will give litigation teams a strategic advantage and unlock a wealth of institutional knowledge and expertise that today sits siloed within individual lawyers and individual cases,” Friedrichsen said, adding: “This is litigation evolved.”
Richard Crum, DISCO’s chief product, technology and strategy officer, described the launch as “the first step in what we see as a command center for complex litigation.”
Am Law 200 firm Quarles and Brady, one of the five pilot firms, offered a public endorsement of the platform’s direction and design philosophy.
Litigation partner Brandon Krajewski at Quarles and Brady said: “Most legal tools are built for lawyers, but not litigators. DISCO’s approach is exciting because it brings together the facts of a matter and the relevant law in a single platform specifically engineered for the stakes and complexity of modern litigation.”
DISCO also confirmed that customers will have significant control to build their own workflows, agents, and tools, allowing firms to embed their own best practices directly into the platform.
The company says this flexibility is central to the product’s design, enabling institutional knowledge to be carried forward within and across matters rather than remaining locked inside individual cases.
