Forensics in 2026: Part Technology, Part Bedside Manner, Part Persistence

Digital forensics in 2026 looks very different than it did even a few years ago. The technology has advanced; devices are more secure and privacy expectations are higher. And at the same time, the demands on forensic practitioners continue to grow. Interestingly, as those demands expand, many providers are quietly narrowing their forensic offerings. The work is harder, the stakes are higher, and the human element is often unpredictable.

QC Hasn’t Changed — And That’s the Key to Understanding GenAI Review

In many of the conversations we’re having, it seems that people don’t quite realize that when GenAI is used in document review, the QC process that validates the results is still essentiall the same as it always has been. In fact, it’s been consistent the whole time. Whether we had rooms full of reviewers, deployed TAR or CAL, or now incorporate generative AI, our QC checkpoints, metrics and human-oversight guardrails remain consistent.

The End of the Road: Preparing for the Relativity Server Sunset

Let’s be honest — nobody wants to think about migration projects. They’re complex, time-consuming, and rarely anyone’s favorite part of the job.

However, we’re entering a transformative phase thanks to advances in generative AI, enabling legal teams to seamlessly search and interpret visual data with unprecedented speed and accuracy.
