Strategic technology acquisition adds cutting-edge narrative AI capabilities and expert-tuned legal language models to Consilio's comprehensive AI suite
WASHINGTON, D.C. and NEW YORK, June 17, 2025 – Consilio, the global leader in legal technology solutions and enterprise legal services, today announced it has completed the acquisition of TrueLaw, a pioneering legal AI research lab based in New York City. This strategic acquisition significantly expands Consilio's AI capabilities deployed on its trusted, private architecture and reinforces the company's position as the world's largest AI legal data technology provider.
TrueLaw brings breakthrough innovations in legal AI, including its proprietary Expert Legal Model (ELM™) and advanced narrative generation capabilities that transform complex legal datasets into clear, actionable insights. The acquisition adds sophisticated AI-powered investigation tools, automated timeline generation, contradiction detection, and firm-specific language model fine-tuning to Consilio's already comprehensive AI portfolio.
"This acquisition represents a significant strategic investment in expanding our technology leadership and demonstrates our unwavering commitment to delivering the most advanced AI solutions in the legal industry," said Andy Macdonald, CEO of Consilio. "TrueLaw's innovative approach to legal AI, particularly their expertise in narrative generation and expert-tuned language models, perfectly complements our existing AI suite and Aurora platform. Together, we're not just advancing legal technology—we're building the foundational AI, data and workflow technologies and infrastructure that transform how legal professionals extract insights from data and deliver value to their clients."
The combination creates an unparalleled AI ecosystem spanning the entire legal data lifecycle. Consilio's existing AI and agentic capabilities, including Guided AI Review, AI Privilege Log Generation, and the investigative tools within Aurora, will be enhanced by TrueLaw's specialized narrative AI technology. This integration enables multiple AI investigation experiences across Consilio's enhanced platforms—from Aurora's semantic search and document discovery tools to supported review platforms, now complemented by TrueLaw's unique narrative-focused approach that generates comprehensive reports with key actors, timelines, and contextual analysis.
TrueLaw, founded by veterans of premier AI labs including Google and Apple, has established itself as an industrial legal AI research lab focused on creating secure, explainable AI solutions specifically for the legal industry. The company's technology emphasizes privacy-first principles and maintains SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA compliance standards, aligning perfectly with Consilio's commitment to data security and client confidentiality.
"We're thrilled to join Consilio, a company with an unmatched proven track record of delivering impactful AI solutions to global law firms and corporations," said Arunim Samat, CEO and Co-Founder of TrueLaw. "Consilio's scale, expertise, and commitment to responsible AI innovation create the perfect environment for our technology to reach its full potential. This partnership allows us to accelerate the development of our Expert Legal Model and narrative AI capabilities while leveraging Consilio's extensive client relationships and deep understanding of legal workflows."
The acquisition strengthens Consilio's technology position in several key areas:
Enhanced AI Investigation Capabilities: TrueLaw's narrative-focused AI investigation tools complement Aurora's semantic search and Relativity Server's interrogation features, providing clients with multiple specialized approaches to data discovery and analysis.
Advanced Language Model Technology: TrueLaw's Expert Legal Model (ELM™) adds firm-specific AI fine-tuning capabilities, enabling customized AI solutions tailored to individual client needs and practice areas.
Comprehensive Narrative Generation: TrueLaw's AI Narrative technology transforms vast datasets—emails, contracts, financial reports—into clear, interactive legal insights with automated timeline generation and contradiction detection.
Expanded Research and Development: The addition of TrueLaw's AI research team, led by experts with backgrounds at Google, Apple, Databricks, Thomson Reuters, and Harvard Law School, significantly enhances Consilio's technology innovation capabilities and Aurora ecosystem development.
"This acquisition exemplifies our strategy of making significant technology investments to maintain our leadership position," added Macdonald. "We're not just keeping pace with AI innovation—we're driving it forward through strategic acquisitions, internal R&D, and deep partnerships with the most innovative companies in legal AI."
TrueLaw's technology will be demonstrated alongside Consilio's Aurora platform at LegalTechTalk in London, June 26-27 (Booth P11) as well as upcoming company webinars and industry events.
