Relativity Integrates Legal Data Platform with Microsoft Copilot
Event summary
- RelativityOne now integrates with Microsoft Copilot via Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling natural language automation of administrative workflows.
- Microsoft Copilot is used by 68% of global law firms and 84% of the largest firms, per 2025 ILTA survey.
- Integration allows legal teams to manage RelativityOne environments directly within Microsoft 365 without context switching.
- Orchestration capabilities in Copilot Cowork include workspace setup and case data organization; reporting features available in Copilot Chat.
The big picture
This integration reflects the accelerating convergence of legal technology and generative AI tools within enterprise workflows. As Microsoft Copilot becomes the de facto standard for legal AI assistants, Relativity's move positions it to maintain dominance in legal data intelligence by embedding its platform where lawyers already work. The strategic play underscores the importance of seamless, context-aware automation in high-stakes legal environments.
