Lighthouse, a leader in technology-enabled eDiscovery, compliance, and information governance services, is pleased to announce it has been named “Overall eDiscovery Solution Provider of the Year” by the LegalTech Breakthrough Awards. The fifth annual awards recognize the top technology companies, solutions, and products in the legal technology industry today.

“We are thrilled to be recognized at the LegalTech Breakthrough Awards” said Ron Markezich, CEO of Lighthouse. “Our best solution development has always been done in partnership with our clients, and this award speaks to the partnership between Cleary and Lighthouse and our ability to anticipate current trends and embrace the future of eDiscovery, especially as it relates to AI. Lighthouse and Cleary have long been proponents of large language models and generative AI and I’m excited for the future of our partnership.”

Among its eDiscovery breakthroughs, Lighthouse was recognized for its groundbreaking work with law firm Cleary Gottlieb on technology to produce privilege logs (privlogs) as part of large litigations and investigations. This project leveraged a large language model in the form of predictive AI to help identify privileged documents and separately leveraged a large language model in the form of generative AI to draft the log entries. The first major test of this tool produced an entire 80,000-line privlog that was accepted by the opposing party without challenge.

The Legal Tech Breakthrough Awards aims to perform the most comprehensive evaluation of LegalTech tools, services and companies today, with the goal of recognizing the breakthrough solutions.
