Relativity Launches Relativity FOIA to Streamline Public Disclosure Operations for Government Agencies | AAP
Summary
Relativity has announced the general availability of Relativity FOIA, a purpose-built solution for managing public disclosures, now available within RelativityOne Government. This launch expands Relativity's AI platform for legal data intelligence into government disclosure work, addressing the increasing volume of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. In FY25, government agencies received a record 1.7 million FOIA requests, a 13% increase from the previous year, highlighting the need for more efficient management systems. Relativity FOIA was developed in close partnership with FOIA practitioners to streamline the entire disclosure lifecycle, including intake, case management, collection, review, response delivery, and publication, into a unified workflow. The solution helps agencies reduce backlogs, improve response times, and ensure defensible, auditable processes by leveraging defensible AI, automation, and proven review technology. "Agencies aren't just facing a FOIA challenge. They're managing fundamentally different missions across investigations, litigation, breach response and public disclosure, often across fragmented systems," said Chris Brown, Chief Product Officer at Relativity. "Relativity FOIA brings the full disclosure lifecycle into RelativityOne, the platform agencies already trust for their most demanding legal work." The platform also includes features like Disclosure Center, which turns reviewed work into controlled release packages, and Reading Room publication, enabling agencies to make approved releases publicly accessible without a formal request. By centralizing these processes, Relativity FOIA aims to reduce complexity, support proactive disclosure, and maintain consistency across similar requests.
