With 37 offices in 22 countries around the world, Kennedys constantly assesses technology solutions that deliver fast, efficient and intuitive user experiences to help the firm better serve its clients. Kennedys’ U.S. offices had already utilized DISCO for multiple matters and were impressed by the platform’s speed, performance and ease of use. When the firm’s UK and European offices started exploring new disclosure solutions, DISCO was already a trusted provider.
“DISCO provides cutting-edge software, giving clients a compelling commercial solution for data-heavy litigation. It helps us deliver comprehensive advice early in the life of a complex dispute, while reducing upfront costs and overall legal spend.” said Kennedys’ Partner Michael Hogg.
A cloud-based solution, DISCO requires zero up-front capital investment in hardware or infrastructure; reduces recurring costs related to staffing, training, and maintenance; instantly offers new features when available; eliminates downtime caused by system outages and never-ending upgrades; and is accessible anywhere, anytime from any device.
“DISCO has served global clients on multinational matters since our founding, and our world-wide customer base continues to expand in recognition of our experience,” said Andrew Shimek, DISCO chief revenue officer. “Our commitment to the European market enables us to work even more closely with firms like Kennedys, delivering both the technology and the local expertise to help them shift to the cloud and improve their discovery processes.”
