[Casepoint](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/003thpw/casepoint) received the 2026 "eDiscovery Innovation of the Year" award for Casepoint IQ, its AI foundation, through the seventh annual LegalTech Breakthrough Awards program. [PR Newswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/casepoint-wins-2026-ediscovery-innovation-of-the-year-award-for-casepoint-iq-302936780.html) announced the award on November 12, 2026. Casepoint is an AI-powered legal technology company founded in 2007 and headquartered in Washington, providing a unified cloud platform for eDiscovery, legal hold, FOIA, investigations and compliance to U.S. federal agencies and Fortune 500 corporations and law firms. ## How Casepoint IQ Combines AI and Oversight Casepoint IQ brings agentic AI, assistive AI, machine learning and predictive coding, and Model Context Protocol connectivity together within one intelligence foundation. Built into Casepoint's unified eDiscovery platform, these capabilities operate within the workflows legal teams use to make review decisions, sharing the same data, permissions, security controls and audit trails. The foundation's first purpose-built agents bring fully and semi-autonomous AI into core document review. The Relevance Determination Agent makes relevance calls across a scoped population, and the Issue Coding Agent codes documents to legal issues across a scoped population. The newest agent, the AI Investigator Agent, identifies evidence that supports or refutes allegations, extracts key facts with citations to source documents and connects documents to investigative themes. Quality is measured against defined thresholds, both human and AI decisions are logged, and human approval is required before work advances. "Casepoint IQ was built to give legal teams a practical path to more autonomous AI without compromising the security, transparency, and human oversight their work demands," said Paul Colangelo, CEO of Casepoint. Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director of LegalTech Breakthrough, said the platform combines intelligent review, open AI connectivity, unified workflows, rigorous governance and proven results in environments where accuracy, security and defensibility matter most.
