DeepJudge and Epiq Partner to Scale Law Firm AI

DeepJudge and Epiq partner to help law firms scale AI using institutional knowledge for competitive advantage.

DeepJudge, an enterprise search and AI platform, and Epiq Advisory for Law Firms announced a partnership on April 21, 2026, in Zurich and New York, to help law firms adopt firm-wide AI grounded in their own institutional knowledge and drive measurable business results.

Law firms are moving past early AI experiments. The next step is applying AI consistently at scale using trusted internal knowledge. This partnership directly addresses that gap.

The Core Problem

Law firms hold decades of collective intelligence across documents, matters, and metadata. Yet most firms struggle to make that knowledge accessible and usable in daily legal work.

Governance and permission controls add another layer of difficulty. Without structured access, even the best AI tools cannot reliably surface the right information to the right people.

What the Partnership Delivers

DeepJudge provides intent-based search and AI workflows. Epiq contributes strategic planning, knowledge management, and technical implementation expertise.

Together, they equip firms to run permission-aware agentic AI workflows. These workflows pull from documents, information, and metadata across all firm systems to support drafting, surface matter insights in real time, and build on precedent-driven work.

Paulina Grnarova, CEO and Co-founder of DeepJudge, said: "The depth of collective intelligence that law firms possess is extraordinary and a unique asset that's built over decades. DeepJudge helps firms put the full breadth of that knowledge to work through AI grounded in their own prior work and institutional context."

Implementation and Governance

The partnership structures AI adoption as operational infrastructure, not a standalone tool. Epiq works with firms to identify use cases, build scalable workflows, and establish governance and adoption programs.

Jim Tuvell, Managing Director of Epiq Advisory for Law Firms, said: "Law firms have made real progress experimenting with AI. The next challenge is turning that momentum into measurable business impact. DeepJudge enterprise search and AI workflows enable firms to find and use their institutional knowledge in governed, permission-aware ways."

The governance layer ensures AI outputs stay grounded in verified firm knowledge. Controlled access also means sensitive matter information remains protected throughout every workflow.

Scope and Scale

The partnership targets firm-wide adoption, not departmental pilots. It is designed to align AI use across practice groups, matter teams, and administrative functions.

Firms gain the ability to convert prior work product into a repeatable strategic resource. That shift moves AI from an experimental cost to a measurable business driver.

Law firms globally are accelerating AI investment. Structured implementation programs like this one are increasingly how firms translate that investment into client-facing results.
