AUSTIN - Legal technology company DISCO (NYSE: LAW), currently valued at $246 million with a robust gross profit margin of 74%, announced Monday the expansion of its generative AI-powered document review tool to the European Union and United Kingdom markets, extending the reach of its eDiscovery technology to thousands of law firms and corporations across Europe. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a strong balance sheet with more cash than debt, positioning it well for this expansion.
According to the press release, DISCO Auto Review can process an average of 32,000 documents per hour – equivalent to the work of 640 reviewers operating at industry-standard speeds – while achieving precision and recall metrics exceeding 90 percent in many cases, compared to the 75 percent industry standard for human review.
The expansion follows the company’s earlier 2024 launch of its Cecilia suite of generative AI tools in European markets, with additional capabilities planned for release later this year.
"There is a growing appetite for generative AI legal tools in the EU and U.K.," said CEO Eric Friedrichsen in the announcement, noting that Auto Review has been among the most requested capabilities from law firms and corporations in these regions.
The company also introduced new pricing for Auto Review, which it describes as "highly competitive" to encourage wider adoption as an alternative to manual document review. InvestingPro analysis suggests DISCO is currently undervalued, with multiple additional insights available in the comprehensive Pro Research Report, which provides deep-dive analysis of this and 1,400+ other US stocks.
DISCO reports that the tool has already been adopted by several major U.S. legal organizations, including Am Law 50 firms and multinational corporations. Emily Michael Munson from Hueston Hennigan, LLP, a U.S. litigation firm, stated that the technology delivered "95 percent recall and 91 percent precision" on a breach of contract case, allowing the legal team to focus on "strategic higher-value work."
The new pricing structure is immediately available to customers in the U.S., EU, and UK, according to the company statement.
