Legal services and software provider Elevate today (24 September) announced the acquisition of Redgrave Data, bolstering its eDiscovery and information governance capabilities. Redgrave Data was launched by eDiscovery boutique law firm Redgrave in 2022, although the law firm had no role in its day-to-day operations.
Joining Elevate are 21 Redgrave technologists and consultants including founders Mollie Nichols, Scott Culbertson, Dave Lewis, Mark Noel, and Lindsey Worth, who will all join the Elevate management team.
Redgrave Data is a Chambers Band 1 NewLaw legal data and AI consulting and technology services company. Its leadership team has experience in applying technology-assisted review (TAR), artificial intelligence (AI), generative AI, analytics, robotic process automation (RPA), and data visualization in challenging matters.
This acquisition follows the May announcement that Elevate acquired The CJK Group to provide multi-language support in reviewing, categorising, and analysing multi-lingual content in litigation, investigations, and transaction-based due diligence across Asia and North America, as well as other strategic partnerships in the Discovery space.
Liam Brown, Elevate’s chairman and CEO, said: “We founded Elevate to integrate expertise and technology to innovate and transform work with a legal and business dimension that needs to be done every day, often at scale, and sometimes urgently. We recognised how Redgrave Data ‘run a different race’ to tackle the world’s thorniest legal data and technology issues strategically, efficiently, and effectively. We are excited to bring their exceptional consultative solutions to Elevate’s law department and law firm customers to solve the litigation, investigations, and regulatory compliance problems that they face.”
Mollie Nichols, CEO of Redgrave Data, added: “Teaming up with Elevate will provide a global platform to support our international clients more effectively. Elevate’s resources will also allow us to accelerate the development of our innovation projects more efficiently and at scale. Overall, this is a great fit, and I’m looking forward to the road ahead!”
