Reveal Continues Pragmatic Investment Approach with Latest Acquisition – Adding LIGL’s Workflow Automation and Legal Hold Capabilities to Reveal 11 Platform

CHICAGO (March 20, 2023) — Reveal, the global provider of a leading AI-powered eDiscovery platform, announced today the acquisition of LIGL, the provider of the legal industry’s first and only cloud-based digital evidence and lifecycle management platform. 

In a year that has marked a slowdown in M&A activity in the LegalTech space, Reveal has made purposeful investments for long-term success, while continuing to solve problems for its client base all over the world. The purchase of LIGL allows Reveal to integrate the leading SaaS-based legal hold, evidence collection management and eDiscovery workflow automation technology directly onto its Reveal 11 platform – offering users greater simplicity and efficiency.

“The acquisition of LIGL highlights Reveal’s commitment to an ongoing approach to growth that emphasizes customer needs over everything else. The LIGL team and the technology they bring to Reveal will augment Reveal 11’s seamless investigative and eDiscovery functionality,” said Wendell Jisa, founder & CEO of Reveal. “With an aligned mission to remove complexity and barriers from the eDiscovery process, the integration of LIGL onto the Reveal 11 platform is a win-win for our collective teams and the clients that will benefit from our technology stack.”

LIGL is a revolutionary SaaS platform that manages every step of the litigation and investigation lifecycle, simplifying, automating and uniting legal hold and automated discovery workflows in a frictionless, easy-to-use system. Combining and orchestrating legal hold, data integrations, preservations, forensic collections, and discovery processing in one convenient, scalable, cost-effective platform, LIGL drastically improves efficiency and outcomes while reducing overhead and hassle.

With the acquisition of LIGL, the Reveal 11 platform will now have the most sophisticated workflow automation and digital evidence lifecycle capabilities available. The integration of critical Legal AI solutions all on one platform allows practitioners with even the most challenging datasets to quickly understand the key players, concepts and context in ways more traditional tools simply cannot.

“The addition of LIGL’s workflow automation platform will allow Reveal’s clients to easily manage data throughout the project lifecycle from collection through to production. LIGL’s seamless templating, reporting, and eDiscovery orchestration capabilities will provide unmatched capabilities to build a defensible and streamlined data pipeline,” said Matthew Brothers-McGrew, Reveal’s Chief Technology Officer.

Backed by the most experienced team of data scientists in the industry, Reveal 11 provides comprehensive eDiscovery solutions for litigation and investigation all on one seamless platform. Uniquely available in the cloud or on-premise, Reveal 11’s human-centered AI technology has already modernized the practice of law with the best data visualization capabilities in the industry; AI integration across the Reveal 11 platform; bespoke and pre-built AI models, the AI Model Library, and the ability to create and simultaneously use multiple models directly within review.

Am Law 100 firms, Fortune 500 corporations, legal service providers, government agencies and financial institutions in more than 40 countries across five continents have already signed on to use the Reveal 11 platform.

Certain statements about K1 Investment Management LLC (“K1”) made by portfolio company executives herein are intended to illustrate K1's business relationship with such persons, including with respect to K1's facilities as a business partner, rather than K1's capabilities or expertise with respect to investment advisory services. Portfolio company executives were not compensated in connection with their participation, although they generally receive compensation and investment opportunities in connection with their portfolio company roles, and in certain cases are also owners of portfolio company securities and/or investors in K1-sponsored vehicles. Such compensation and investments subject participants to potential conflicts of interest in making the statements herein. For K1, “carbon neutral” means that any greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions derived from a defined scope of K1’s activities are balanced by an equivalent amount removed, including through our purchase of carbon credits. In this report, our “carbon neutral” status is based on our GHG emissions footprint calculated in accordance with the GHG Protocol as of December 31st, 2023 (comprising Scope 2 Electricity and Gas usage and certain Scope 3 categories: Business Travel and Employee Commuting), amounting to an estimated 3,497 metric tons CO2e. K1 then purchased and applied carbon credits in 2024, amounting to an estimated 6,994 metric tons of CO2e. We engaged a third party to assist with the calculation of K1’s estimated GHG emissions for 2023, but we did not obtain independent, third-party verification of our “carbon neutral” status. To address our 2023 emissions, we contributed to the Conservación y Captura de Carbono / Conservation and Carbon Capture (CO2LTZINGO) reforestation carbon removal project in Coltzingo, Mexico (CAR 1464). This project was certified by the Climate Action Reserve (CAR), using the Protocolo Forestal para México (PFM) Versión 1.5 / Mexico Forest Protocol Version 1.5 and the Guía de Cuantificación de Acervos de Carbono y Monitoreo del Proyecto Versión 1.5 / Project Monitoring and Carbon Stock Quantification Guidance Version 1.5 with a validation date of January 15th, 2019.
