Relativity acquires Gavel to integrate AI drafting into Microsoft Word
Summary
Relativity announced the acquisition of Gavel, an AI-native legal tech company, on June 12, 2026, to integrate its document automation and contract review capabilities into RelativityOne. This integration allows legal teams to draft, edit, and finalize documents directly in Microsoft Word while syncing changes back to the RelativityOne platform. Key figures like Gavel's founder Dorna Moini and CTO Pierre Martin will join Relativity. The move addresses workflow gaps between e-discovery platforms and Word, focusing on metadata synchronization, redline fidelity, and compliance. Legal professionals benefit from reduced manual handoffs and improved audit trails, though observers will monitor the rollout's effectiveness in expanding compliance workflows.
