ProSearch at Relativity Fest 2025: Panel Highlights and Key Insights

Relativity Fest 2025 was an incredible gathering of eDiscovery professionals, and ProSearch was excited to be part of the conversation in a big way. This year two of our team members, Odette Claridge and Daniel Semelhack, took the stage to share their expertise on panels tackling some of the most relevant topics in our industry.

Here’s a look at what they discussed and the insights they brought back:

Odette on Navigating MA&D Transactions with Legal Data Intelligence

Odette joined the panel “Going MA(&)D: Surviving Mergers, Acquisitions and Divestitures & Managing the Contracts That Come with Them” as part of the Legal Data Intelligence (LDI) Corporate Working Group. The discussion centered on how legal data professionals can add strategic value during complex corporate transactions.

Her key takeaways:

• Legal data professionals can use LDI frameworks to align stakeholders, workflows, and technology in MA&D transactions.
• Early involvement in these processes is critical as data integrity and compliance-focused workflows can make or break success.
• Defined transaction workflows help reduce risk and streamline collaboration across departments.
• The future of contract management will lean heavily on AI and analytics to improve efficiency and mitigate risk.

Daniel on Thriving as a Remote eDiscovery Professional

Daniel spoke on the panel “Succeeding as a Remote eDiscovery Employee,” sharing practical strategies for making remote work sustainable and productive in our industry.

His key takeaways:

• Set clear boundaries and communicate availability to maintain work-life balance.
• Be intentional with your time: transparency about breaks and personal commitments builds trust.
• Create a distraction-free workspace to stay focused and efficient.
• Prioritize self-care, even if it’s just a quick walk or stretch between tasks.
• Company culture matters: at ProSearch, we use tools like Friday Pulse to foster employee happiness because well-being drives collaboration and success.

Relativity Fest reminded the ProSearch team how much innovation and collaboration are shaping the future of legal data and eDiscovery. Odette and Daniel are proud to have contributed to these conversations and look forward to continuing to lead in areas like workflow optimization, technology adoption, and employee well-being.
