iDiscover

What iDiscover does

iDiscover (legal entity IDISCOVER, LLC) is a privately-held electronic discovery services provider founded in 2007 in Phoenix, Arizona, and currently headquartered in Beverly Hills, California. The company delivers end-to-end eDiscovery workflows — forensics and collection, project management, data processing, and document review and analytics — for complex litigation, regulatory investigations, and merger review matters. Its customer base is concentrated in AmLaw 100 law firms, Fortune 500 corporate legal departments, boutique law offices, and government entities, served through a consultative enterprise sales motion.

The company's technology stack centers on the Lumix processing and review platform, developed through an exclusive multi-year partnership with Now Discovery and capable of processing up to 1 terabyte of data in 12 hours while running multiple projects. Lumix unifies processing and review in a single platform, eliminating the database-conversion handoff typical in legacy eDiscovery stacks, and supports tens of thousands of unusual file types. The firm also built Invariant processing technology in 2010, which was acquired by kCura and remains embedded in the Relativity platform. AI capabilities sit in the review layer — Technology-Assisted Review with predictive coding and continuous active learning, NLP-driven concept clustering and entity extraction, and rule-based automation for email threading, deduplication, and near-duplicate detection. Infrastructure runs from SOC 2 Type 2-certified data centers in Phoenix, Arizona and London, England, with ISO 27001 and GDPR compliance posture for cross-border matters.

iDiscover generates revenue primarily through project-based professional services for eDiscovery engagements, supplemented by managed processing services and Lumix technology licensing through the Now Discovery partnership. Since 2011 the company has operated as a subsidiary of the holding company that owns Nationwide Legal, America's largest legal support and attorney services provider, which extended iDiscover's footprint through the consolidation of Mercury IQ (New York) and ABC Legal (Los Angeles) and the addition of general offices in New York City and San Francisco. Marketing and demand-generation runs through content (blog, whitepapers, press releases), the Legaltech conference circuit, and corporate social channels (LinkedIn, Twitter).
