CS DISCO

CS DISCO is a legal technology company founded in Houston in 2013 and headquartered in Austin, Texas since 2018. It develops cloud ediscovery, legal hold and AI-assisted document review software, and sells professional services alongside it. The company has traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker LAW since July 2021, which makes its finances and roadmap unusually visible to buyers.

Kiwi Camara founded the business in Houston and led it through the 2021 listing before resigning in September 2023. In February 2022 the company acquired the Hold360 and Request360 legal hold and workflow assets from Congruity 360, extending its platform ahead of review. Eric Friedrichsen took over as chief executive in 2024 and has concentrated the product line on the Cecilia AI tooling and automated review.

CS DISCO at a glance:

• Founded: Founded in 2013 in Houston, Texas by Kiwi Camara, who led the company until 2023; the headquarters moved to Austin in 2018.
• Headquarters: Austin, Texas, at 111 Congress Avenue, the base since the company relocated from Houston, where it was originally founded.
• Ownership: Publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker LAW since July 2021, with no controlling private equity or corporate parent.
• Legal Technology Portfolio: Sells DISCO, listed in this directory, covering ediscovery, legal hold, AI review and case preparation, plus managed review and forensic services.
• Market Focus: Serves law firms of all sizes and corporate legal departments, mainly in the United States, that handle litigation and investigations directly.

What legal teams should know: DISCO fits departments that want to run ediscovery themselves rather than route every matter through an outside provider, and its public filings give procurement a clear view of financial stability. Commercial terms are usage based, so data volume drives cost and forecasting matters. Leadership changed in 2023 and 2024, and the roadmap now leans heavily on AI review.
