Legal Research & Brief Drafting for E-Discovery Managers with Everlaw

Run legal research & brief drafting on autopilot inside Everlaw.

Everlaw E-Discovery Manager E-Discovery

The Problem

Associates lose entire days in Relativity hunting for E-Discovery case law that supports a narrow argument — and the final brief is still 70% boilerplate.

What We Build in Everlaw

AI drafts the research memo against the firm's prior work product, pulls current authority from Relativity, and produces a cite-checked first draft of the brief — associate refines, doesn't start from zero. Purpose-built for teams running Everlaw — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

Build on the Everlaw API or agent

Integration happens inside Everlaw — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.

3

Human-in-the-loop handoff

Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Everlaw with enough context to act — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
