Relativity Fest London Showcases the Future of Discoverable Data

Relativity announces expanded capabilities in modern data management and enhanced processing, and spotlights how the EMEA legal community is embracing generative AI
LONDON, June 10, 2025 /CNW/ -- Relativity, a global legal technology company, announced expanded capabilities to meet the evolving needs of legal teams managing emerging data types during the opening keynote at Relativity Fest London. The company also shared data processing improvements and highlighted how EMEA customers are driving results with the company's generative AI product suite, Relativity aiR.
"As the legal industry navigates a wave of change—from emerging data types to the rise of generative AI—Relativity is focused on empowering our customers with a platform that's not just a system of record, but a system of action," said Phil Saunders, CEO of Relativity. "While generative AI often takes the spotlight, we're not losing sight of the elements that massively enhance RelativityOne, like super-powered processing, advanced short message review and integrations that equip our customers to embrace an immense amount of data and different types of datasets. These core capabilities are what ultimately power Relativity aiR and drive better efficiency and outcomes for our customers."
Expanding modern data support: Collection for Google's Gemini app and enhanced short message review
As organisations adopt generative AI across their workflows, Relativity is expanding its robust list of cloud data sources and chatbot data source coverage with data point collection for Google Workspace collection for the Gemini app through Collect in RelativityOne. Launching in July, the connector enables users to capture prompt and response data—along with key metadata—for use in legal and compliance workflows. Collected data is automatically converted into Relativity Short Message Format (RSMF) for easy review in a near-native format, helping teams move quickly from collection to analysis.
With billions of active users and terabytes across short message platforms, and 200% year-over-year growth of short messages in RelativityOne, Relativity continues to enhance its industry-leading short message review experience. The platform now features a redesigned search interface that enables users to search message-level metadata with precision, including 25 different attributes like participant interactions, time ranges, message edits, deletions and reactions. Once key messages are identified, users can tag them individually, making it easier to quickly find what is critical for their case.
Cutting time to review with accelerated processing speeds and integrated A/V transcription
Over 93% of RelativityOne customers use Relativity's processing engine to prioritise data sets and get native files ready for review with unparalleled speeds. With RelativityOne's high-speed processing capabilities, legal teams can seamlessly tackle larger, more complex cases and even begin case review on the same day they upload terabytes of data.
"In the past year, we doubled processing speeds in RelativityOne to 100 gigabytes per hour, and we're going to double that again this year," said Keith Carlson, Chief Technology Officer at Relativity. "But we're not stopping there, and we will build on that momentum to work toward doubling it again next year. As data volumes continue to grow exponentially, we're committed to staying ahead of the curve and delivering capabilities that can outpace the demands of modern legal work."
Additionally, Relativity will release Audio and Video (A/V) Transcription in RelativityOne this month. Relativity's integrated, secure solution transforms A/V review into a fast and intuitive part of the RelativityOne workflow. With powerful transcription capabilities, users can quickly convert A/V files into searchable text and add comments directly to transcripts, ensuring that key evidence is easily accessible, actionable and ready for collaboration. This innovation streamlines review efficiency and reduces manual processing time.
Beyond the buzz: How generative AI is delivering value across the EMEA legal community
As generative AI moves from exploration to implementation, top EMEA law firms and legal teams are applying aiR's agentic workflows to deliver measurable results. Since becoming generally available in late 2024, already more than half of EMEA RelativityOne customers have embraced aiR, and EMEA projects have made up approximately 20% of all documents run through aiR this year globally.
Leaning into the capabilities of generative AI to enhance efficiency and effectiveness in document review, Clifford Chance, a multinational law firm based in London, integrated Relativity aiR for Review.
"In mere days, our team can harness aiR for Review to complete large-scale review matters that would have previously taken weeks, enabling us to meet clients' tight deadlines with no sacrifice to quality," said Ankur Malik, Global Head of Forensic Technology & eDiscovery at Clifford Chance. "From what we've witnessed, aiR for Review has the capacity to redefine investigation—it does more than just increase speed to results, aiR for Review sets a new baseline for how intelligent and accurate document review can be, as a whole."
As a Relativity Provider Partner, professional services company, Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) is leveraging the power of aiR to deliver insights faster, at a lower cost and with more accuracy for their clients. With aiR for Review, A&M has helped clients reduce first-pass review costs by 66% while achieving 99% accuracy, exceeding the benchmarks set by traditional human review teams. In one recent matter using Relativity aiR for Privilege, the review timeline was cut from 12 weeks with 20 reviewers to just four weeks with 12 reviewers, saving over £300,000.
"With aiR for Review and aiR for Privilege we can identify critical information faster than ever, so we can spend less time digging through massive datasets and more time being truly consultative, adding strategic value and helping our clients with their complex challenges from the outset," said Gary Foster, Managing Director at Alvarez & Marsal. "We are excited to have the opportunity to use the latest generative AI technology in the platform that we all know and trust."

Sixteen billion passwords may have been stolen. Here's how to protect yourself

A Lithuanian cybersecurity news outlet says it uncovered a leak of 16 billion passwords that may grant access to Apple, Google, Facebook accounts and more. Cybernews warns the data is 'a blueprint for mass exploitation' because it could give cybercriminals unprecedented access to information that can be used for account takeovers, identity theft and highly targeted attacks. Here's what we know about the leak so far and how people can protect themselves from its repercussions. What do we know about the leak? Cybersecurity experts are strongly speculating that the data was leaked through infostealers, said Robert Falzon, head of engineering at security software firm Check Point. Infostealers are pieces of malware users are duped into clicking on, which then install something on their computer, 'which just kind of sits and listens to the computer while you're typing things from the keyboard.' Story continues below advertisement The malware can detect when you're logging into an account and can copy whatever you've input to send it to a database of credentials hackers compile. 'As a result of that, we end up with these giant repositories on the dark net filled with lists and lists and lists of usernames and passwords and credentials that have been stolen from users all around the world and that are being bought and sold as commodities,' Falzon said. Is all this leaked data new? That's up for debate. Cybernews says 'the data is recent, not merely recycled from old breaches,' but others disagree. 'It's really hard to track the providence of all of it,' Falzon said, because some hackers package data together from several leaks to resell.

Sign up for breaking National newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy The only way to figure out how new it is would be to obtain other leaks and cross compare the data. Why is it worrisome? 'If hackers manage to get their hands on your password for Google, Apple, or Facebook, stealing your money and identity may be easier than taking candy from a three-year-old,' Ignas Valancius, head of engineering at cybersecurity company NordPass, said in a press release. That's because hackers use the logins they obtain for credential stuffing — a practice where criminals get access to accounts by inputting stolen login information into websites. Story continues below advertisement If you reuse your passwords across several websites or services, it may mean a hacker can get into your bank account and steal money, your favourite retailer accounts and drain you of your loyalty points or even find your address and birthday and use it for identity theft, Falzon said. How can I find out if my data was in the breach? Figuring out if you've been a victim of the breach would take obtaining the data and searching through it for your credentials. Because only an 'extreme minority' of people have never been breached in general, Falzon said you're always best off assuming your info is part of the leak. What can Canadians do to protect themselves? Cybersecurity experts are unanimous in advising people to change their passwords regularly, especially after leaks to avoid becoming the victim of credential stuffing. But long before a breach happens, they say there are several things people can do to protect themselves. The most obvious is varying your passwords and avoiding reusing them. When you recycle passwords across several websites or services or make them easy to guess, it means hackers won't have much of a struggle accessing many of your accounts. Multifactor authentication can also offer a layer of security. When someone attempts to login to an account, it forces them to enter a code sent by email or text before they can get access. The process helps users thwart hacking attempts. Story continues below advertisement I have so many accounts to keep track of and changing my passwords with every breach is making it hard to remember them all. What can I do? Some cybersecurity experts are fans of password managers. These services create strong, unique passwords for each account you have. Then, the manager stores them in an encrypted account you can quickly access anytime you need to enter a password. However, other experts argue password managers can have varying levels of encryption and warn that if the one you are using is breached, all of your passwords may be vulnerable. So what else can I do? Many experts advise people to use passkeys, when possible. Passkeys are digital credentials able to unlock accounts with a mere flash of your face or fingerprint scan on your phone. They are considered to be more secure than passwords because there is no string of characters, numbers and symbols to memorize, making them harder to hack. They don't need to be changed, can't be stolen by someone guessing or peeking over your shoulder and there's no way to accidentally use one on the wrong website. Not all websites and services accept passkeys but several big players like Apple, Shopify, Microsoft, DocuSign and PayPal do.

Media Advisory - Simultaneous launch of Canadian space technologies Français

LONGUEUIL, QC, June 21, 2025 /CNW/ - Several technologies funded by the Canadian Space Agency under the Space Technology Development Program will be launched into space by SpaceX. These projects are a testament to Canada's leadership in space innovation. EarthDaily Analytics will use high-precision thermal imagers to monitor plant transpiration. The data collected could help farmers make decisions about irrigation, fertilization and crop rotation. It could also provide precise information about areas at greatest risk of wildfires, in order to protect our communities. INO provided infrared cameras as part of this project. Galaxia will launch its first satellite, MÖBIUS-1, a software-defined satellite designed to carry various types of Earth observation sensors. The MÖBIUS constellation could be used for a variety of applications, such as defence, environmental monitoring, agriculture, infrastructure, maritime operations and transportation. GHGSat will add two satellites to its commercial constellation, bringing the company's total to 13 methane detection satellites and one CO 2 detection satellite. Mission Control will test its onboard artificial intelligence (AI) software and machine learning operations system SpacefarerAI™ in partnership with Spire Global. Their Persistence mission aims to show how AI can analyze satellite images directly in space, thereby eliminating the need to send all data to Earth for processing. Xona Space Systems will test Pulsar, a demonstration satellite designed to validate a new generation of satellite navigation from low Earth orbit. This technology could improve precision and reliability of positioning services, including in urban areas, remote areas and the Arctic. Also contributing to the GHGSat and EarthDaily Analytics satellites are ABB 's business unit in Quebec, supplying sophisticated optical sensors, and Xiphos Systems, providing high-performance onboard processors. These innovations demonstrate the ability of Canadian companies to develop innovative technologies that meet the needs of the space program and have strong commercial potential. Media who wish to speak with a Canadian Space Agency expert or a representative from one of these Canadian companies are asked to contact the Media Relations Office.
