Our take
DISCO is a legaltech leveraging cloud computing and AI to enhance compliance, dispute resolution, and investigations, thereby optimising outcomes for legal teams and their clients. Its suite of tools, including case builders, review platforms, and e-discovery solutions, is designed to minimise errors and better align with established legal practices compared to traditional e-discovery tools.

Consequently, brands are actively seeking alternative methods to expand their customer base.
