Lighthouse Unveils LighthouseIQ, a Next-Generation Legal Intelligence Platform and Application Suite

January 21, 2026

2 min read

Lighthouse, a global leader in eDiscovery and information governance, today announced the launch of LighthouseIQ, a next-generation intelligence platform and AI application suite. Developed to eliminate the constraints of data scale, LighthouseIQ provides legal and compliance teams with earlier insights, regulatory defensibility, and significant cost savings.

LighthouseIQ is purpose-built to handle the complexity of today’s legal data, with no limits on document types or data volume. LighthouseIQ orchestrates advanced AI together with the latest in data processing capabilities and deep legal expertise into a platform and applications built specifically for high-stakes litigation and compliance needs. It has been pressure-tested on some of the world’s largest and most complex matters at world-class law firms and corporate legal teams.

“Before LighthouseIQ, we did not have an efficient way to surface key documents early enough to influence case strategy,” said C.J. Mahoney, Partner and Global Head of eDiscovery and Litigation Technology at Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP. “With LighthouseIQ, we can get to critical insight much faster and make informed decisions earlier in the lifecycle of a matter. In one recent case, our client asked us to test a damages theory, substantiate the claim, and arrive at a defensible calculation. Using LighthouseIQ, we were able to do exactly that with data-backed confidence, allowing the matter to resolve quickly and favorably.”

LighthouseIQ is designed to enhance existing workflows, not disrupt them. It offers seamless integration with industry-standard tools, including Relativity, ensuring that its AI-driven intelligence is embedded directly into trusted processes. LighthouseIQ has been battle-tested across high-stakes litigation and investigations:

  • 1.4 billion documents analyzed by AI to date
  • Up to 33 million documents analyzed in a single day
  • Output accepted by regulators including the FTC and DOJ

LighthouseIQ is backed by Lighthouse’s deep bench of experienced eDiscovery practitioners, pairing advanced AI with the judgment and institutional knowledge required to deliver consistent, defensible outcomes.

"I came to Lighthouse with a mission to apply AI at scale to the legal industry," said Ron Markezich, CEO of Lighthouse, who previously spent 24 years building globally scaled applications at Microsoft. "LighthouseIQ is the result of our commitment to helping our customers gain clarity faster, act smarter, and move more decisively than ever before."
