In November 2022, e-discovery giant Relativity announced that CEO Make Gamson would be stepping down, to be replaced by new CEO Phil Saunders. At the time, Saunders told Legaltech News that a top priority was to make the transition as smooth as possible, maintaining and accelerating the momentum of the company.

Before Saunders officially took the reins on Dec. 12, 2022, Relativity saw additional upheavel, as it announced earlier that month that it was conducting layoffs and phasing out surveillance product Relativity Trace.
