Relativity today (12 August) announced the early launch of Relativity claiR, a conversational AI experience designed specifically for lawyers.
“This isn’t lawyers learning their way around RelativityOne. It’s a fundamentally new way to get them straight to the answers in their most consequential legal data,” said Phil Saunders, CEO of Relativity. “Conversational AI is now how people everywhere expect to work, and with claiR, for the first time, the full richness of a matter’s data is directly in lawyers’ hands, rather than something they wait on technical legal data teams to surface. claiR draws on the full power of our industry-leading aiR suite and legal data intelligence platform, and on the record itself for high-stakes legal work that has to stand up in court, before boards and before regulators.”
Three of the world’s leading law firms, A&O Shearman, Foley & Lardner LLP and K&L Gates are among the first to participate in Advanced Access for claiR, a program that plays a key role in how Relativity shapes and refines solutions ahead of general availability planned for early 2027. Once generally available, claiR is expected to be included in RelativityOne integrated pricing at no additional cost.
“A&O Shearman’s commitment to innovation is longstanding—we brought RelativityOne in-house in 2017 and were one of the very earliest firm-wide adopters of generative AI in early 2023,” said Calum Burnett, partner and global co-head of litigation & investigations at A&O Shearman. “AI is now integral to how we work and we are excited to help shape Relativity’s new self-service solution for lawyers. It provides powerful, auditable AI analysis to help our lawyers in their day-to-day work, enhancing our ability to provide insightful and trusted strategic advice to our clients.”
“What’s most useful about claiR is that it lets our lawyers get to the facts faster and identify issues sooner so we can deliver more timely strategic counsel to our clients,” said David Simon, a Foley & Lardner LLP litigation partner and member of the firm’s AI Steering Committee. “This tool allows us to work more efficiently. It’s a practical way to use conversational AI within our existing legal workflows to better serve clients and provide greater value.”
