Today’s enterprise landscape is defined by uncertainty. Economic volatility, fluctuating labor markets, explosive data growth, and policy whiplash — through it all, corporate legal departments are tasked with leading amid chaos and confusion. 

As outlined in a recent Thomas Reuters Institute report, the role of general counsels (GCs) has expanded beyond traditional legal advising. Legal departments face pressure not only to manage increasingly complex, data-heavy litigation, and compliance requirements, but also to advise on ESG, data privacy, executive decision-making, and crisis response — all while keeping costs under control. 

To meet these demands, corporate legal teams must take a hard look at the technology they’re using and determine whether it delivers the speed and defensibility they need. 

At OPEXUS + Casepoint, we’ve united our strengths to help enterprises meet this moment. Our combined platform gives legal teams the power to navigate disruption with speed, security, and confidence. At its core is AI-powered data discovery that lets teams identify, collect, and preserve data from any source — reducing legal risk and avoiding unnecessary costs with secure, integrated workflows. Trusted by some of the world’s largest and most heavily regulated enterprises, our solution is built for the complexity of modern legal demands.

The New Corporate Landscape

Corporate legal departments face heightened risk, policy shifts, and changing economics — making their role more complex and critical.

The New Corporate Landscape

Geopolitical and Economic Uncertainty

While deregulation under the current White House administration has eased some compliance burdens, new tariffs, shifting trade policies, and evolving tax changes have added layers of legal and operational complexity — especially for multinational corporations. At the same time, inflation, fiscal deficits, and market volatility demand that in-house teams plan more strategically and respond with greater agility.

Regulatory and Compliance Shifts

The overturning of the Chevron doctrine has shifted the regulatory authority from federal agencies to the courts, creating a less predictable legal environment. Over 200 legal challenges to recent executive orders are underway, many targeting key areas of corporate governance. On top of this, privacy laws continue to expand — 20 U.S. states now have distinct consumer data regulations. Legal departments must keep pace with this fast-evolving compliance landscape.

Technology Transformation 

With pressure to deliver greater speed and accuracy while reducing costs, it is crucial to retire slow, clunky legacy systems in favor of modern tools. AI is transforming key functions like document review and analysis. According to the Norton Rose 2025 Annual Litigation Trends Survey, roughly one-third of legal teams are already using AI or predictive analytics to spot risks or address litigation. Of those using AI for litigation, 78% expect to increase their use in 2025. Still, many organizations remain hesitant to embrace AI due to security concerns, slowing progress.

External Counsel Management 

Political dynamics are putting some firms under scrutiny due to perceived alignment or opposition to federal directives. This introduces new risks in outside counsel relationships, requiring legal departments to reevaluate partnerships. Meanwhile, growing complexity in tax, trade, and regulatory strategy is driving demand for specialized legal expertise that’s not always available in-house.

Given these realities, legal departments must move from reactive to proactive.

  • Make strategic investments in technology, specifically AI, to boost efficiency and cut costs

  • Strengthen data governance to manage data growth and privacy risk

  • Build unified compliance frameworks to navigate overlapping federal, state, and international laws and regulations

  • Conduct risk-aware reassessment of outside counsel relationships

  • Ensure litigation and investigation readiness by modernizing discovery, audit, and hold capabilities

The merger of OPEXUS and Casepoint comes at a pivotal time — bringing together deep workflow expertise and advanced eDiscovery technology to help legal departments manage complexity, reduce risk, and move faster in high-stakes environments. 

OPEXUS + Casepoint- Built for Modern Legal Demands

Nearly half of legal professionals anticipate more litigation in 2025 — especially in tech and consumer markets, where nearly 40% anticipate rising volumes. This underscores the need for scalable tools that help teams move quickly and reduce workload. 

Our AI-powered eDiscovery platform is purpose-built to aid with investigations and litigation in highly scrutinized, tightly regulated environments. Machine learning, intelligent search, and automated classification surface critical data fast — cutting review time, cost, and legal risk. Designed to handle high volumes and tight timelines, it's an asset for teams under pressure. Crucially, our AI models align with enterprise security and compliance standards.

Take Control of Sensitive Data With Secure Cloud Architecture

Nearly 60% of corporate leaders identify the explosion in data volumes as not just a significant risk — but a driver of transformational change for their organizations. Our Filestore cloud infrastructure supports large volumes of sensitive data with end-to-end encryption, granular permissions, and built-in auditability. Whether managing contracts or litigation files, teams maintain full visibility and defensibility, even during rapid organizational change.

Automate Privacy Compliance at Scale

Today’s privacy obligations demand accuracy. Our platform automates responses to regulatory inquiries, streamlines redaction workflows, and maintains jurisdictional awareness across data sets. Tools for tagging, tracking, and audit logging support both privacy compliance (GDPR, CPRA, etc.) and proactive regulatory monitoring — reducing risk before issues emerge.

Corporate lawyers now average 49-hour work weeks, yet 62% say they don’t have time to get everything done. Our eCASE Audit & Investigations Suite reduces manual effort with centralized tracking, automated audit trails, and consistent workflows — making it easier for organizations balancing multiple investigations, audits, and outside legal engagements to make decisions and progress. Our legal hold software adds automated issuance, custodian tracking, and seamless communications.

Resolve Workforce Disputes with Structured Oversight

Workforce disputes are rising in complexity and frequency, often involving sensitive data and cross-functional coordination. The eCASE Workforce Management Suite ensures defensible handling of HR-related investigations, grievances, and policy enforcements. With role-based access, automated case routing, and secure documentation workflows, legal teams can handle sensitive matters with care and compliance.

As conditions shift, legal workflows can break down. Manual processes slow progress and increase risk. OPEXUS + Casepoint is designed for collaborative, transparent workflows across teams. Add in our data discovery and analytics capabilities, and you unlock a new level of operational intelligence.

Built for What’s Next: Innovation, Security, and Partnership

Many enterprise teams are realizing their legacy tools can’t keep up. We’ve built the OPEXUS + Casepoint platform to meet the data needs of modern legal teams with an intuitive design, enterprise-grade security, and infrastructure built to support complex legal operations at scale.

However, teams need more than software; they need a partner who understands the complexity of their work and evolves with them. We collaborate closely with our clients and continuously invest in the innovation of our product features and offerings, with security and compliance at the core, so our customers can stay agile, compliant, and confident through change.
