Casepoint Wins 2026 "eDiscovery Innovation of the Year" Award for Casepoint IQ™

LegalTech Breakthrough recognizes Casepoint IQ's unified approach to agentic AI, open connectivity, and human oversight in secure eDiscovery workflows.

TYSONS, Va., Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Casepoint, a leading provider of AI-driven secure, unified government, legal, and compliance solutions, today announced it has received the 2026 "eDiscovery Innovation of the Year" award for Casepoint IQ™, its recently launched AI foundation. The recognition comes through the seventh annual LegalTech Breakthrough Awards program, conducted by LegalTech Breakthrough, a leading independent market intelligence organization that evaluates and recognizes standout legal technology companies, products, and services around the globe.

Casepoint IQ brings agentic AI, assistive AI, machine learning and predictive coding, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectivity together within one intelligence foundation. Built into Casepoint's unified eDiscovery platform, these capabilities operate directly within the workflows legal teams use to make review decisions, sharing the same data, permissions, security controls, and audit trails. This approach gives teams a consistent, governed environment for adopting increasingly capable AI across their work.

Casepoint IQ's first purpose-built agents bring fully and semi-autonomous AI into core document review. The Relevance Determination Agent makes relevance calls across a scoped population, so reviewers focus only on what matters. The Issue Coding Agent codes documents to legal issues across a scoped population, so reviewers start with organized, issue-tagged sets. The newest agent, AI Investigator Agent, identifies evidence that supports or refutes allegations, extracts key facts with citations to source documents, and connects documents to investigative themes.

Quality is measured against defined thresholds; both human and AI decisions are logged, and human approval is required before work advances. Teams can also see estimated time and cost before an analysis begins for visibility into expected ROI. In addition, the Casepoint MCP Server enables customers to connect approved external AI models and agents to Casepoint while preserving existing permissions, governance, and security. Legal teams can use Casepoint's native intelligence, connect their own AI ecosystem, or combine both as strategies evolve.

"Casepoint IQ was built to give legal teams a practical path to more autonomous AI without compromising the security, transparency, and human oversight their work demands," said Paul Colangelo, CEO of Casepoint. "Its strength is the foundation beneath the individual capabilities: agentic and assistive AI, open connectivity, and consistent governance working together. We're proud that LegalTech Breakthrough has recognized this innovative approach, and with additional purpose-built agents in development, we're continuing to expand what Casepoint IQ can do for eDiscovery and beyond."

The legal technology sector is rapidly redefining how legal work gets done, transforming one of the world's most complex and vital industries. From AI legal assistants and agentic research to contract intelligence, eDiscovery, court and compliance technology, and connected legal operations platforms, legal technology is delivering greater speed, transparency, and access to justice for government agencies, legal departments, law firms, courts, and the people they serve.

The mission of the annual LegalTech Breakthrough Awards program is to recognize the innovators transforming the global legal landscape with breakthrough technology. The program conducts a comprehensive analysis of the companies redefining how legal services are researched, drafted, managed, and delivered. From AI-driven research and drafting platforms and contract lifecycle management to eDiscovery, case and practice management, regulatory compliance, legal spend analytics, and access-to-justice solutions, these innovations are enabling legal organizations to work more efficiently, serve customers better, and shape the future of the legal profession.

"Casepoint's impact extends to some of the most demanding legal environments, including government. Legal teams struggle with securely managing growing data volumes, expanding and diverse data sources, and increasingly complex discovery demands. Most eDiscovery tools only offer disconnected AI features or controls that can't uniformly address these more complex data challenges," said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director, LegalTech Breakthrough. "Casepoint's eDiscovery platform combines intelligent review, open AI connectivity, unified workflows, rigorous governance, and proven results in environments where accuracy, security, and defensibility matter most. That makes Casepoint our choice for the 2026 'eDiscovery Innovation of the Year' award."
