Data growth remains one of the biggest challenges facing ediscovery professionals today, with a 58% increase in the number of documents hosted by Everlaw year over year.

As data grows, one number remains constant: 12. That’s the average number of users in a typical Everlaw database, and it’s held steady for four years. In 2023, those 12 users saw an average increase of 17% more documents per person.

In 2023, legal professionals turned increasingly to automation to do more with less, leveraging tools like ECA to dramatically reduce document review loads.
