RelativityOne Migrations

RelativityOne
Migrations

Relativity Server has an expiration date. AI-native workflows are already standard in RelativityOne. Migration is no longer a future project — it’s a business decision. Lineal has executed over 1,000 migrations and manages 2.3 PB inside active RelativityOne environments today. We move your data without downtime, without defensibility risk, and without recreating the inefficiencies you’re trying to leave behind.

Migration at Scale. Not Theory.

Enterprise-scale RelativityOne migrations aren’t claimed — they’re earned. Across active matters, global
jurisdictions, and complex legacy platforms, Lineal has executed more RelativityOne migrations than any
other partner. The scale is unmatched. The repetition is proven. The authority is established.

Migration Is Not a Data Transfer.
It’s an Operating Model Upgrade.

Most migrations fail in one of three ways: they disrupt active matters, they replicate broken
workflows, or they stall after go-live. Lineal’s four-phase approach prevents all three. We protect your
work, preserve defensibility, and rebuild your environment for performance.

  • STEP 1

    Map & Prepare

    We don’t start with servers. We start with reality.

    • Active vs inactive matters
    • Workflow dependencies
    • Custodian scope and retention posture
    • Redundant or obsolete data

    Result:

    You migrate intentionally. You reduce volume. You avoid dragging legacy clutter into a modern platform.

  • STEP 2

    Move With Discipline.

    We execute through structured, phased transitions designed to minimize operational friction while maintaining integrity.

    • Encrypted transfer pipelines with real-time progress tracking
    • Hash validation, item counts, and targeted sampling
    • Documented exception management
    • Continuous access protection for active matters

    Result:

    No disruption. No integrity questions. No post-migration surprises.

  • STEP 3

    Redesign, Don’t Replicate

    If you copy your legacy workflows into RelativityOne, you’ve missed the point.

    • Re-architect review, processing, and production workflows
    • Activate aiR-native capabilities immediately
    • Integrate Amplify™ Suite of Tools automation and intelligence layers
    • Configure governance and permissions for scale

    Result:

    Faster case starts. Cleaner review. Immediate AI leverage.

  • STEP 4

    Empower & Evolve

    We don’t disappear at go-live.

    • Command Center dashboards for cost and portfolio visibility
    • Memory Bank reuse of prior coding decisions
    • Standardized templates for repeatability
    • Continuous optimization cycles

    Result:

    Migration becomes the start of performance improvement, not the end of a project.

Why Lineal

Experience.
Authority.
Ownership.

We don’t advise on Relativity migrations. We execute them. At scale. Under pressure. Across platforms.

  • Proven Migration Track Record

    1,000+ workspaces. 2.3 petabytes migrated. Legacy platforms consolidated. Multi-region environments unified. We’ve handled the edge cases others discover mid-project.

  • Platform Authority

    All four Relativity partner designations: Provider, Advisor, Distributor, Developer. Bringing deep configuration and troubleshooting expertise that drives faster migrations and better-optimized environments.

  • Dedicated Project Ownership

    Every migration gets a dedicated project manager backed by multiple layers of technical and client support. You get a single point of accountability from planning through go-live and beyond, not a rotating cast of support tickets.

  • Global Reach, Local Compliance

    Lineal operates migration and hosting infrastructure across the US, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and South America. Regional hosting options ensure compliance with GDPR, LGPD, PIPL, and other data sovereignty requirements without complicating the migration process.

Innovation

  • “Regulators gave us 90 days and 12 million documents. Lineal’s team reduced the review population by 97% and met the deadline without a single extension request. That kind of precision under pressure is why they handle our most sensitive matters.”

    General Counsel, Top 10 Global Bank

  • “We eliminated first-pass review entirely on our largest IP matter. Over 95% of the population was reduced before a reviewer touched a single document, and every decision was defensible. That changed how our entire legal department thinks about review.”

    VP of Legal Operations, Fortune 100 Pharmaceutical Company

  • “We used to send every large matter to an outside vendor. Now we handle it internally with Lineal’s team and technology sitting behind our operation. Our partners see it as a value-add for clients, and it has become a meaningful revenue line for the firm.”

    Managing Partner, Am Law 100 Firm

  • “Our previous provider treated RelativityOne like a hosting platform. Lineal treated it like the foundation of our entire legal operations strategy. The migration took two weeks. The transformation of how our teams use the platform is still compounding a year later.”

    Head of Litigation Technology, Am Law 100 Firm

  • “We had cycled through two providers in three years. Lineal was the first partner that embedded into our operations instead of just processing our data. We now have rea-time visibility into spend, predictable timelines, and a legal ops function our board takes seriously.”

    Chief Legal Officer, Fortune 20 Corporation

Industry & Role Applications

Built for High-Scrutiny Environments

RelativityOne migration is a high-stakes operational shift. The risk profile changes by
industry and role. We architect and execute migrations at a level most partners never
reach — and we do it in the environments where failure isn’t an option.

  • Corporate Legal Departments

    Modernize your entire litigation and investigation portfolio without surrendering control. We transition legacy environments into RelativityOne while preserving visibility, governance, and defensibility across active matters. This is more than a platform move — it’s an upgrade to how your legal operations perform.

  • Law Firms

    Fragmented hosting environments slow firms down and dilute margin. We consolidate, modernize, and re-architect into a single high-performance RelativityOne ecosystem built for scale, AI-enabled review, and client confidence. This is infrastructure as a competitive advantage.

  • Financial Services

    In regulated industries, migration mistakes become regulatory exposure. We execute transitions aligned to financial compliance frameworks and global data sovereignty laws with documented validation and defensible controls throughout. Under scrutiny is where we operate best.

  • Government & Regulatory

    Public-sector migrations demand precision and documented integrity. We preserve evidentiary rigor with controlled transfer protocols, validation processes, and chain-of-custody discipline designed to withstand oversight.

  • Compliance & Risk Teams

    Platform transitions expose weak controls. We embed audit-ready documentation, structured validation, and governed execution into every phase so defensibility strengthens during migration — not after.

    • 95%+

      Review volume reduced before human review began.

    • 70%

      Additional reduction post-Amplify™ through AI-assisted relevance assessment.
