Not that long ago, discovery meant documents, emails, hard drives and filing cabinets. In 2016, from an apartment in Sydney, our four founders decided to take on the mission to make discovery better and lawyers’ lives easier. For ten years, we’ve operated at the intersection of data, discovery and the law. We’ve seen it all, we were there when ‘e’ was prefixed to everything from email, e-introduction, e-meet, and eDiscovery.

There was a time when lawyers could focus more on the law. Time flies, and so does technology. Nowadays, nearly everything is discoverable. Innovation remains a priority for lawyers, but collecting and organising data is often complex and inefficient. The specialised area of discovery demands swift, defensible execution. In many ways, it is not actually lawyering. Now, with AI on the rise, it is simultaneously powerful and problematic.

In our vertical, traditional and manual legal processes have continued to collide with bleeding-edge technology and increasingly unrealistic expectations that everything should have happened yesterday. Some things never change. Sky Discovery have always focused on solutions so you can focus on the law. We make our team, your team. We make the technical, practical.

As we reflect on a decade of innovation, we’re also celebrating our community; we wouldn't be where we are without the brilliant team, clients, and collaborators we work alongside. Thank you to everyone, past and present, who has contributed to our story. We could not be more grateful to be here.

2025 highlights

• We welcomed new teammates, taking our diverse and brilliant global team of lawyers, eDiscovery experts, technicians, and innovators to 54. Thank you all for making our market-leading work possible.

• We launched 12 advanced custom AI features to make Relativity even better for our client partners, covering prompting, mass actions, scanning, searching, translating, transcribing, comparing, validating and more.

• We secured a noteworthy extension of our partnership with foundational client Maurice Blackburn, a class-action giant, strengthening Sky Discovery as a trusted legal eDiscovery partner that has supported them for nearly 10 years across more than 50 class actions through an embedded specialist team.

• We published three guides that draw on 10 years of insights, each edition covering the theory, practical application, and eDiscovery in practice, giving lawyers a competitive edge. They might be our best guides yet!

• We were ranked under Chambers Litigation Support as a leading professional services provider in key markets worldwide.

• Dan Rupprecht, UK Managing Director, has been recognised as a Data Expert in the Lexology 2026 listing, an honour based on client referrals and independent research.

• Our founders and team came together in Melbourne this November to celebrate our milestone, and everyone has been kitted out in our 10-year apparel.

• We are proud to have supported WiE London and amplified its mission to empower women in eDiscovery, and to be hosting two International Women’s Day events in Sydney and Melbourne.

• We pledged a GIVIT donation to help them continue providing essential goods and services to those who are really doing it tough.

• Because we genuinely believe our lawyer mates deserve a break, we gave away three weekends away, fancy dinners, and day spa experiences. Since that’s not quite enough and it’s the holidays, we’ll be gifting three more at random this week.

We’ll leave you with a dizzying snapshot of our data insights from all our collective efforts this year!

Have a safe and happy holiday. See you in 2026 and hopefully at What Matters Social!
