Legal technology firm since 2008 building eDiscovery data processing software, including the Hydra platform, plus litigation consulting and infrastructure for law firms and corporations.
Contact Discovery Services is a legal technology consulting firm that handles eDiscovery data processing, litigation consulting, and complex infrastructure for law firms and corporate legal departments. Founded in 2008 by two college friends, the company is based in the Washington, D.C. area and operates internationally. Its client base includes hundreds of AMLAW ranked firms and Fortune 1000 corporations - organizations moving large volumes of sensitive, adversarially scrutinized data through processing pipelines where integrity and throughput both matter.
The technical center of gravity is Hydra, a high-performance eDiscovery data processing platform originally built at the request of an AM LAW 50 firm in DC. At release it delivered unmatched data processing speeds, and it became the core of the company's service philosophy: build the processing engine, then wrap consulting and infrastructure around it. The work spans eDiscovery data processing, legal technology consulting, litigation consulting, complex infrastructure management, and in-house development of data processing software.
The stated emphasis is on faster processing, more intuitive tooling, and problems the rest of the industry didn't know existed - later joined by a stated shift toward support quality and client experience as core values. The culture is informal and service-oriented; the company describes its own technology bluntly. For practitioners, the appeal is concrete: high-throughput data processing systems, complex managed infrastructure, and software development work against real adversarial deadlines rather than abstract compliance frameworks.
