Event Calendar
From Legalweek to ILTACON: 2025’s Early eDiscovery-Related Event Listing
ComplexDiscovery Staff
The 2025 event calendar for legal technology and eDiscovery professionals is shaping up to be a busy year, with conferences, summits, and workshops spread across the globe. Although still early and not fully comprehensive, this preview highlights several key events that are likely to attract attention from those involved in cybersecurity, information governance, and legal innovation.
The year kicks off in January with The Masters Conference in San Diego and the inaugural meeting of The Sedona Conference Working Group 13 on AI and the Law. These initial gatherings will set the tone for a year where artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and innovation dominate the discussions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[the_ad id="45584"]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major Highlighted Events
One of the most anticipated series of events is the NetDiligence Cyber Risk Summit, with multiple conferences throughout the year. The series starts in Miami Beach, FL, in February, with other summits scheduled for Toronto in March, San Diego in May, and Philadelphia in October. These events provide essential insights into cyber risk management and insurance, offering value to legal professionals managing data breaches and cybersecurity risks.
Another cornerstone event is Legalweek 2025, scheduled for March 24-27 in New York, NY. As always, Legalweek remains a central event for legal professionals, focusing on the latest trends and technologies in the legal sector. From emerging eDiscovery solutions to developments in legal AI, the event provides a broad look at the changing landscape.
Also on the calendar is SOLID (Summit on Legal Innovation and Disruption), a series of one-day summits with a focus on cutting-edge technology and disruption in the legal sector. SOLID 2025 events are scheduled for:
* San Francisco in February
* Chicago in April
* New York in September
* Atlanta in November
With a focus on innovation, automation, and the future of legal practice, SOLID events offer valuable opportunities for networking and learning.
For those seeking a deep dive into legal technology, ILTACON 2025 is set for August 10-14 in National Harbor, MD. As one of the largest educational and networking events for the legal technology community, ILTACON brings together professionals from law firms, corporate legal departments, and tech vendors to explore the latest advancements in legal tools and solutions.
Other Notable Events
In addition to the major events, several other important conferences make 2025 a year of diverse opportunities for learning and engagement:
* RSA Conference 2025 USA in San Francisco (April 28-May 1) will provide cutting-edge insights into cybersecurity, a key area for eDiscovery professionals handling sensitive digital data.
* ABA TECHSHOW 2025 in Chicago (April 2-5) is a must for practitioners looking to integrate the latest legal technology into their workflows, including practice management, data protection, and cloud solutions.
* Black Hat USA 2025 in Las Vegas (August 2-7) brings together the world’s leading cybersecurity experts, offering sessions highly relevant to legal teams managing security risks.
* AIIM Global Summit 2025 in Atlanta (March 31 – April 2) focuses on intelligent information management, a critical subject for anyone involved in eDiscovery and information governance.
International Presence
The international scope of the 2025 event calendar is also expanding, with several key conferences scheduled outside the United States. These events allow professionals to gain global perspectives on legal technology, cyber risk, and data management.
LEXPO25 in Amsterdam (June 16-17) will feature panels and discussions on the future of legal services and innovation in Europe. For professionals focused on the UK market, LegalTechTalk 2025 in London (June 26-27) offers valuable insights into how AI and other technologies are reshaping legal practices.
Other important international events include:
* Black Hat Asia 2025 in Singapore (April 1-4), a top-tier cybersecurity conference in the Asia-Pacific region.
* 5th World Legal Operations Summit in Berlin (April 10-11), an event that will focus on improving efficiency and innovation in legal operations globally.
Specialized Focus Areas
In addition to these larger events, several conferences will address specialized areas of interest within the legal and technology fields. For example, the Women in Compliance Summit and the Third-Party Risk Management Summit, both in Austin, TX, in early June, will focus on compliance and risk management.
The Techno Security Digital Forensics Conference in Wilmington, NC (June 3-5) will appeal to those in the digital forensics field, offering insights into investigative practices and cybersecurity challenges. Later in the year, InfoGov World Conference 2025 in San Diego (October 27-29) will address information governance, privacy, and regulatory compliance—critical areas for professionals managing large volumes of digital data in eDiscovery.
Early Listing, More to Come
As we approach 2025, more events are likely to be added to the eDiscovery and legal technology calendar, expanding the range of opportunities available. This early listing highlights the breadth and diversity of events expected in 2025, but many conferences and specialized gatherings have yet to be announced. Staying updated on new additions will be essential for professionals looking to maximize their learning and networking opportunities in the year ahead.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cloud Software (Off-Premise) Market (Figure 5)
The Cloud Software segment within the eDiscovery market, comprising software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), is showing interesting trends in its composition and growth.
Software as a Service (SaaS) is the leading contributor to the cloud software segment's revenue. However, its percentage of total off-premise spending is expected to slightly decline from 68% in 2023 to 65% by 2028. Despite this slight decrease in market share percentage, the total spending on SaaS is projected to increase significantly from $2.44 billion to $4.30 billion in the forecast period. This robust increase underscores the continued adoption and reliance on SaaS offerings within the eDiscovery realm, likely due to the convenience, scalability, and cost-efficiency they offer to law firms and corporate legal departments.
Platform as a Service (PaaS) shows a gradual increase in its market share percentage, from 14% in 2023 to an anticipated 17% by 2028. In line with this, the spending on PaaS is forecasted to double, growing from $0.50 billion in 2023 to $1.12 billion in 2028. This growth trajectory suggests an increasing preference for platforms that offer developers the tools and components to build and manage custom applications, which are becoming more critical as eDiscovery processes become more data-intensive and complex.
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) maintains a steady 18% share of the cloud software market throughout the forecast period, with total spending expected to rise from $0.65 billion in 2023 to $1.19 billion in 2028.

In 2023, the US market share stands at 70%, expected to reduce to 65% by 2028. This 5% shift over the five years suggests a maturation of the US market and possibly a saturation of eDiscovery service offerings.
Conversely, the Rest of the World (ROW) market is anticipated to increase its share from 30% to 35% over the same period. This uptick reflects the globalizing nature of legal services and the expanding adoption of eDiscovery technologies and practices in international markets. Emerging markets, increased global data regulations, and international litigation activities may drive this growth.
Despite the decreasing percentage of market share, the total market size in the US shows a robust upward trajectory, with the market expected to grow from $10.57 billion in 2023 to $14.72 billion in 2028. This growth translates to an approximate 39% increase over the forecasted period, indicating a healthy expansion in absolute terms. This growth suggests that while the US's share of the global market may be shrinking, the overall demand for eDiscovery within the US is growing significantly, likely driven by the increasing complexity of legal cases, the growth of data, and the adoption of new technologies such as AI and machine learning in the legal sector.
The combined picture is one of a global eDiscovery market that is growing in size and becoming more distributed across international boundaries. This trend could signal an opportunity for eDiscovery service providers to expand their global footprint and for legal professionals to increase their cross-border competencies and capabilities.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Government and Non-Government Market Size (Figure 7)
The eDiscovery market is bifurcated into government/regulatory and non-government segments, each demonstrating distinct trends in terms of market share and total spending.
Government/Regulatory Segment
The government/regulatory segment's proportion of the market is on a gradual decline, moving from 45% in 2023 to an anticipated 40% by 2028. Despite this relative decrease, absolute government/regulatory sector spending is projected to grow from $6.79 billion in 2023 to $9.06 billion in 2028. This uptrend indicates that while the government's proportionate market size is shrinking relative to the non-government sector, the actual investment in eDiscovery tools and services is increasing. This increase could be due to the rising volume of data involved in regulatory actions and litigations, increased emphasis on compliance and governance, and the modernization of government IT infrastructure.
Non-Government Segment
Conversely, the non-government segment's market share is expected to increase from 55% in 2023 to 60% by 2028. The spending in this segment is forecasted to see a more pronounced rise from $8.30 billion to $13.59 billion over the same period. This robust growth can be attributed to the large-scale adoption of eDiscovery solutions in the private sector, driven by corporate litigations, internal investigations, and compliance requirements. As businesses continue to digitize their operations and face complex legal challenges, their reliance on eDiscovery solutions intensifies.
The diverging trends between the two segments highlight the dynamic nature of the eDiscovery market. While both sectors are growing in terms of absolute market size, the non-government sector is expanding more rapidly, likely due to the scalability and agility offered by eDiscovery solutions that are becoming increasingly critical in the face of fast-paced business environments and complex data landscapes.
The steady growth within the government sector underscores the ongoing need for robust eDiscovery practices amidst an environment of heightened regulatory scrutiny. At the same time, the accelerated growth in the non-government sector suggests that enterprises are becoming the main drivers of innovation and revenue within the eDiscovery market. As the volume and variety of data sources continue to expand, the importance of eDiscovery tools and services is set to become even more pronounced across both segments.

Estimated Direct Delivery by Provider (Figure 9)
The distribution of eDiscovery tasks by different providers indicates how the landscape of eDiscovery is managed across corporations, law firms, and service providers. The data reflects a shift in where the work is completed, with corporations and governments currently handling the majority of eDiscovery tasks directly.
Delivery by Corporations and Governments
Corporations and government entities are the most significant contributors to eDiscovery delivery, although their relative share is forecasted to decline from 74% in 2023 to 69% by 2028. Despite this decrease in percentage, the total spending by corporations and governments is expected to grow from $11.17 billion to $15.63 billion. This growth suggests an increasing volume of work being conducted in-house due to factors such as the rise in regulatory scrutiny, a greater emphasis on privacy, and the need for quicker access to data.
Delivery by Law Firms
Law firms consistently represent a smaller portion of eDiscovery delivery, with their share expected to increase slightly from 14% to 16% over the forecast period. The spending by law firms on eDiscovery tasks is anticipated to grow from $2.11 billion to $3.62 billion. This increase reflects the growing complexity of legal work, the specialization of law firms in managing intricate cases, and the expansion of legal services to include more comprehensive eDiscovery capabilities.
Direct Delivery by Service Providers
Service providers are projected to see a gradual increase in their market share from 12% to 15% by 2028, with total spending increasing from $1.81 billion to $3.40 billion. This trend indicates a growing reliance on specialized eDiscovery service providers, who offer expertise in managing and analyzing large datasets, as well as advanced technology solutions that may not be available in-house.
Total Providers Delivery
The total spending on delivery by all providers is expected to rise from $15.09 billion to $22.65 billion, reflecting the overall growth of the eDiscovery market. This substantial increase suggests that despite the relative shifts in delivery by different providers, the demand for eDiscovery services is on a solid upward trajectory.
The trends in delivery indicate a nuanced eDiscovery ecosystem where in-house capabilities are being bolstered in corporations and governments, law firms are deepening their eDiscovery practices, and service providers are carving out a larger role due to their specialized offerings. This dynamic points to a future where the collaboration between various types of eDiscovery providers becomes increasingly important to handle the scale and complexity of discovery in the digital age.

*For the purpose of this ongoing industry survey, price and cost are used interchangeably and represent the amount a customer is willing to pay for the service. However, from a financial and accounting perspective, pricing is the amount a customer is willing to pay. The cost is typically the expense incurred for creating and delivering the service.
**Survey methodology focused on achieving at least 50 responses with the least number of emails sent to the ComplexDiscovery and EDRM industry professional databases. This approach sought to minimize the number of requests for survey participation while ensuring a solid number of responses from which to generally assess market sentiment in survey areas of interest.

Industry News – eDiscovery Beat
The Workstream of eDiscovery
ComplexDiscovery Staff
From the trigger point for audits, investigations, and litigation to the conclusion of cases and matters with the defensible disposition of data, the myriad approaches data discovery and legal discovery professionals use to administer eDiscovery are as diverse as they are complex. Leveraging research aggregated from leading eDiscovery educators, developers, and providers, the eDiscovery Processes and Tasks listing provided herein serves as a strategic planning tool, guiding business and technology discussions and decisions concerning cybersecurity, information governance, and legal discovery-related eDiscovery projects. It's important to note that the processes and tasks outlined in this document are not exhaustive but represent a singular perspective on the discipline of eDiscovery.
eDiscovery Processes and Tasks Checklist
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[the_ad_placement id="core-standard"]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
eDiscovery Processes and Tasks Through The Lens of Generative Artificial Intelligence
This update also includes subjective assessments of Generative AI (GAI) productivity enhancements, aiming to provide a model for considering the holistic impact of GAI on eDiscovery tasks and processes over the next 12 months. These evaluations offer potential insights into productivity gains that can be achieved through the strategic application of GAI technologies.
GAI Enablement Model Background Notes:
* Categories: All 102 tasks are categorized into collection, processing, or review workstreams.
* Task Numbers: Each task in the workflow is assigned a specific tracking number.
* Process: Eleven processes are identified as subcategory organization areas for all tasks.
* Tasks: Detailed descriptions of specific workflow tasks for each process.
* GAI Enablement Rating: A subjective rating assessing the potential near-term (<12 months) productivity impact of GAI on specific tasks, ranging from 0 (No AI Enhancement) to 3 (AI LLM and Prompt Engineer Overview Enhancement).
* GAI Productivity Multiplier: Estimates of the short-term (<12 months) productivity impact of GAI on specific tasks, measured as Level 0 (0% increase in productivity), Level 1 (15% increase in productivity), and Level 2 (30% increase in productivity).
* Industry % of eDiscovery Spend: Estimated industry spend on specified categories. Provided as context to potential GAI impact.
* Industry eDiscovery Spend in 2024: Estimated industry spend on specified categories. Provided as context to potential GAI impact.
By integrating these GAI productivity assessments, this revised listing underscores the transformative potential of AI technologies within the eDiscovery field. It serves as a foundational guide for legal and IT professionals to explore and evaluate how AI can be effectively integrated to enhance operational efficiencies and meet strategic goals in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
eDiscovery Processes and Tasks Checklist - AI Enablement Model
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's important to emphasize that while this framework serves only as a model, it might help structure thought about the economics and efficiency of GAI-enabled eDiscovery.

eDiscovery Processes and Tasks Through The Lens of Generative Artificial Intelligence
This update also includes subjective assessments of Generative AI (GAI) productivity enhancements, aiming to provide a model for considering the holistic impact of GAI on eDiscovery tasks and processes over the next 12 months. These evaluations offer potential insights into productivity gains that can be achieved through the strategic application of GAI technologies.
GAI Enablement Model Background Notes:
* Categories: All 102 tasks are categorized into collection, processing, or review workstreams.
* Task Numbers: Each task in the workflow is assigned a specific tracking number.
* Process: Eleven processes are identified as subcategory organization areas for all tasks.
* Tasks: Detailed descriptions of specific workflow tasks for each process.
* GAI Enablement Rating: A subjective rating assessing the potential near-term (<12 months) productivity impact of GAI on specific tasks, ranging from 0 (No AI Enhancement) to 3 (AI LLM and Prompt Engineer Overview Enhancement).
* GAI Productivity Multiplier: Estimates of the short-term (<12 months) productivity impact of GAI on specific tasks, measured as Level 0 (0% increase in productivity), Level 1 (15% increase in productivity), and Level 2 (30% increase in productivity).
* Industry % of eDiscovery Spend: Estimated industry spend on specified categories. Provided as context to potential GAI impact.
* Industry eDiscovery Spend in 2024: Estimated industry spend on specified categories. Provided as context to potential GAI impact.
By integrating these GAI productivity assessments, this revised listing underscores the transformative potential of AI technologies within the eDiscovery field. It serves as a foundational guide for legal and IT professionals to explore and evaluate how AI can be effectively integrated to enhance operational efficiencies and meet strategic goals in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Industry Research
An Abridged Look at the Business of eDiscovery
ComplexDiscovery Staff
The abridged listing of eDiscovery merger, acquisition, and investment (M&A+I) events seeks to consolidate and highlight key eDiscovery-related investment events and corresponding event dates, company involvement, and known event investment amounts. The general consideration for inclusion in this running listing is the public announcement of an investment event by an organization that offers an eDiscovery solution as part of their overall offering portfolio regardless of their core business. While not all-inclusive because organizations may not always publicly disclose these types of activities, the listing may be useful for legal, business, and information technology professionals seeking to understand merger, acquisition, and investment events, patterns, and trends within the eDiscovery ecosystem.
