Relativity acquires legal AI platform Gavel

Relativity has acquired AI-native legal technology company Gavel , expanding its legal AI platform beyond data review and analysis into document drafting and editing within Microsoft Word.

Gavel’s software is used by legal professionals in 28 countries to draft, review, redline, and automate legal documents. Relativity plans to integrate those capabilities into RelativityOne, allowing work product generated by tools such as aiR Assist and aiR for Case Strategy to be opened, edited, and finalized in Microsoft Word while synchronizing changes back to the underlying matter in RelativityOne.

The acquisition brings Gavel’s team, including founder and CEO Dorna Moini and CTO Pierre Martin, to Relativity.

For insurers, the deal expands technology that is increasingly used in cyber claims and breach response. Relativity offers aiR for Data Breach Response, an AI platform designed for cyber insurers, breach coaches, and law firms to identify sensitive data, link it to affected individuals, and generate defensible notification and reporting outputs. The platform aims to reduce manual review, improve notification precision, and lower downstream breach response costs by replacing disconnected workflows with a unified AI-driven process.

“We believe that Relativity’s role as a driving force in legal AI innovation requires investing in the technology and people that create real value for our customers and partners. This acquisition enhances our ability to support a wider arc of legal work, in the place where lawyers spend most of their time.” – Phil Saunders, CEO of Relativity.
