Spotlight on Infinnium’s 4iG
One of the solutions I am particularly excited to explore at LegalWeek is Infinnium’s 4iG. Infinnium is redefining the way organisations interact with data to gain actionable intelligence. The 4iG platform is an advanced technology solution designed to tackle modern data challenges head-on. It empowers organisations to manage their data in place, eliminating risk and outdated workflows [2].
Key Features of 4iG:
- Connect: Directly connect to both structured and unstructured data with over 50 data connectors.
- Analyse: Leverage artificial intelligence to classify data and reveal patterns, behaviour, and key insights.
- Organise: Capture and organise data into a unified repository for unprecedented visibility.
- Act: Enable corporations, law firms, and service providers to glean insights, proactively mitigate risk, and transform governance with game-changing accuracy and efficiency [2].
The 4iG platform is particularly notable for its ability to reduce redundant, obsolete, and trivial (ROT) data, optimising organisations for next-generation digital transformation [2].
Exploring Merlin’s DiscoveryPartner
Another solution that stands out and should be on the must-see list is Merlin’s DiscoveryPartner. This full-featured cloud GenAI platform accelerates investigation and discovery workflows. Powered by Sherlock AI, DiscoveryPartner handles critical search, analysis, and review tasks in seconds, transforming traditional discovery workflows into an intelligent, interactive process [3].
Key Features of DiscoveryPartner:
- GenAI-Powered Discovery: Utilise generative AI to find, analyse, and synthesise key information in large document sets in minutes.
- Integrated AI: Combine generative AI and machine learning technologies to deliver insights across a wide range of file types.
- Single-Tenant Security: Ensure complete data isolation and enhanced security with a private cloud environment.
- Utility Pricing: Benefit from industry-first “pay by the minute” pricing, reducing costs and supporting green computing [3].
DiscoveryPartner represents a paradigm shift in how professional teams interact with large document sets, offering a more intelligent and cost-effective discovery experience [3].
Conclusion
LegalWeek New York 2025 promises to be an exciting event filled with opportunities to learn about the latest advancements in legal technology. Although I won’t be attending, I highly recommend those who are lucky enough to go to explore Infinnium’s 4iG and Merlin’s DiscoveryPartner. These solutions have the potential to shape the future of legal practice. Whether you’re a legal professional seeking to enhance your knowledge or expand your network, LegalWeek New York is the place to be.

This blog is by James Merritt. For the last ten years I have worked in the Forensic Technology and eDisclosure sector. The views expressed on this website are those of my own and have no bearing on those of my employer. I have been debating whether or not to start this blog, whilst I have many years of experience, I don’t want to sound contrived and call myself an industry leader. However if what I decide to write about on this blog is considered interesting (and hopefully helpful) by those that read it, I have achieved what I set out to do, which is provide insight and advice. In my career I have been lucky enough to work on some incredible cases that have taken me all over the world. If you work in the industry then you know that big cases can be a life stealer, and I have worked on plenty of those. However, there is a certain degree of satisfaction on working with complex data and helping others understand it. I have worked with various litigation support tools over the last ten years but of late I specialise in Nuix and Relativity. This blog will be written with the industry in mind but only what I find interesting and on varying topics, from conferences to current developments, from products to training courses.
