Glen's Note
“I worked at Consilio and can tell you firsthand — this is a world-class operation. Andy Macdonald built something special here. The people are brilliant, the technology is cutting-edge, and the culture is genuinely great. When EY acquired them in 2024, it validated what everyone in the industry already knew: Consilio is the gold standard.”
The Full Rankings
Every firm on this list is exceptional. From platform giants and AI pioneers to forensic specialists and data governance leaders, these are the companies that make modern litigation possible.
Why eDiscovery Rankings?
eDiscovery is the engine that drives modern litigation. Every major lawsuit, regulatory investigation, and corporate compliance matter depends on the ability to find, process, and review electronically stored information. This is a $10 billion industry that most people have never heard of — but if you've ever been part of a legal proceeding, the companies on this list were almost certainly involved.
I have a personal connection to this industry. I worked at Consilio (back when it was First Advantage Litigation Consulting) as an Operations Analyst and later Director of FP&A. I was the sole Salesforce developer for 500 users, built integrations across the entire tech stack, and pioneered segmented value-based pricing that grew revenue by $15M annually. That experience gave me a front-row seat to one of the most fascinating and underappreciated industries in the world.
This page celebrates the companies and the people who make it all work. From the platform giants like Relativity to the AI pioneers like Reveal, every firm on this list has earned its place through brilliant technology, relentless execution, and an unwavering commitment to getting it right when the stakes are highest.
