TransPerfect and Merlin Integrate eDiscovery AI
TransPerfect Legal, a global leader in legal technology, AI, and advisory services, has announced an integration with Merlin Search Technologies to incorporate Reef ECA into Merlin's flagship Alchemy platform. Merlin will deploy Reef ECA as the processing engine across all Alchemy cloud instances.
The integration gives legal teams a unified workflow from data ingestion through generative AI-powered review without managing multiple systems or vendor handoffs. Reef ECA, TransPerfect Legal's proprietary eDiscovery processing platform, reduces data at scale and reduces document sets by over 90% on average during early case assessment. Merlin's software, Alchemy, then applies AI models to find, review, and analyse the resulting dataset, returning answers in seconds rather than days or weeks.
"We're excited to offer Reef ECA to handle our clients' processing needs. It's a proven, high-volume platform that processes every data type legal teams encounter today," said John Tredennick, Founder and CEO of Merlin Search Technologies. "That allows us to focus on what we do best: using AI to help legal teams find, review, and analyse documents and deliver actionable answers rather than search results."
TransPerfect President and Co-CEO Phil Shawe said, "Clients want reduced complexity in eDiscovery. Combining Reef's early case assessment processing with Merlin's AI capabilities gives customers a simple and intuitive solution, without sacrificing control and compliance."
