DocPro has released the most downloaded contracts, letters and documents of 2020, with some surprising results. From asking for COVID relief to resolving relationship issues, users turned to these key documents for help.

The second most used contract was the Memorandum of understanding (MOU) – Joint Venture, use by businesses adapting to COVID-19, including partnering to achieve key business goals.

One of the biggest surprises on the list of most downloaded contracts in 2020 is number three on the top ten list, the Relationship Contract. COVID-19 impacted relationships in many ways and DocPro members entered into relationship contracts in greater numbers, to help govern difficult issues and maintain relationship. In addition, the Engagement Letter and Success Fee Agreement from Advisor/Consultant contract placed fourth on the list, followed by the Drop Shipping Agreement, each a product of the trend towards remote working and free agent entrepreneurship by the new Slash workforce in 2020.

Relativity Strengthens Investment in Australia’s e-Discovery and Compliance Market

Leave a comment

Relativity hires a Managing Director for APAC, rolls out a local product update and brings Justice for Change program to Australia

MELBOURNE, Australia, Nov. 19, 2020 — Relativity, a global legal and compliance technology company, announced at Legal Innovation and Tech Fest that it is strengthening its investment in the Australian market. Relativity is growing its presence in Australia given the high demand and engagement from the region.

The Relativity community in Australia has shown more engagement than ever over the past year, including a 93% increase in attendance at user groups and nearly 40% growth in overall certifications, which is twice the global average. Additionally, RelativityOne data in Australia has more than doubled in the last year, demonstrating an increased desire for an e-discovery SaaS product.

Adding to the Team in Melbourne
Building out the team in Australia is a key element in Relativity’s continued investment in the region to provide the best support possible for customers. Relativity has hired Georgia Foster, Managing Director, APAC, to lead the organisation’s efforts in the region. Foster has more than 17 years of experience leading lead sales, operations, product and marketing teams in APAC, the U.S. and Latin America. She previously held roles at LinkedIn and Uber, bringing their products and concepts to the local market. 

"I’m thrilled to join the Relativity team at a time when there’s so much growth and excitement around the product in Australia and the APAC market more broadly," said Foster. "As we continue to expand in the local market, it’s important to empower our Australian users to be successful. I look forward to working with our customers and team members to ensure we can deliver the best experience possible."

RelativityOne’s Latest Release Built with Australia in Mind
Delivering a solution that makes meeting processing and production requirements in Australia simpler is a key priority. To achieve this, Relativity introduced a preview program enabling some Australian customers to provide real-time feedback allowing for iteration on the functionality prior to its release. The latest release for RelativityOne users in Australia offers:

  • Level Numbering to eliminate the need for multiple processing platforms.
  • Improved PDF Rendering and Viewer so there’s no more importing/exporting.
  • Improved PDF Redaction Workflow to apply redactions from within RelativityOne.
  • Updated options in Relativity Desktop Client (RDC) to export rendered PDFs.

"Our goal is for e-discovery teams to have a true end-to-end e-discovery platform in RelativityOne," said Stuart Hall, Senior Manager, APAC Service Delivery at Relativity. "This is the first time that we collaborated so closely with Australian customers on a locally focused product upgrade and the approach certainly benefitted both Relativity and our customers."

Expansion of Justice for Change Program
Relativity’s new Justice for Change program is now available in Australia, the first region outside of the U.S. This global program leverages the unique capabilities of RelativityOne and its ecosystem to positively impact racial justice progress in our communities. Justice for Change first launched at Relativity Fest in September where Relativity pledged 100 terabytes of RelativityOne to remove barriers to access technology for organising, collecting and analysing data in matters related to racial injustice.

Any customers or organisations working to promote racial justice are eligible to apply for the program. And for those in Australia who are not familiar with our software, Relativity will pair them with a service provider or law firm from its network that can assist.

"We are thrilled to include the Australian community in our efforts to make inclusion, diversity and belonging an integral part of our culture," Foster added. "I look forward to seeing the difference we can make when our community comes together to create positive change."

Legal Innovation and Tech Fest attendees can learn more about Justice for Change and additional updates at Relativity’s virtual booth and the following sessions:

  • Technology as the Enabler to Make Our Lives Better on Thursday, 19 Nov. at 1:10 p.m. AEDT
  • Relativity Q&A on Thursday, 19 Nov. at 1:40 p.m. AEDT
  • Product Demo of RelativityOne on Friday, 20 Nov. at 12:00 p.m. AEDT
