Ethical eDiscovery Becomes the First eDiscovery Company in the World to Achieve B Corp Certification™.
The boutique consultancy is leading the way on ethics and sustainability in the legal technology sector.
As the legal technology market grows at pace, the importance of ethically minded, transparent, and accountable businesses has never been greater. Ethical eDiscovery is proud to announce that it has become the first eDiscovery company in the world to become a B Corp™, joining a growing global movement of companies that are reinventing business for the benefit of all people and the planet. The certification marks a significant milestone for both the business and the wider legal technology sector.
B Corp™ assesses the entirety of a business’ operations and covers impact areas related to practices around governance, workers, community, the environment and customers. The certification process is rigorous, with companies required to provide evidence on performance while legally embedding their commitment to purpose as well as profit in their company articles. For Ethical eDiscovery, these values are not new. They have been embedded in the business since its inception and reflect the principles on which the company was founded.
Already a participant in the Pro Bono Expert Support Scheme, jointly delivered by the National Pro Bono Centre and Pro Bono Connect, the decision to pursue B Corp Certification™ was driven by a strong sense of moral responsibility. Ethical eDiscovery believes in using the law and legal technology as a force for good and embeds this belief into the way it operates as a business, demonstrating that ethical action, competitiveness, innovation, and commercial success can go hand in hand.
“Becoming a B Corp™ is a natural extension of how Ethical eDiscovery started and how we operate every day.” said James MacGregor, Founder and Managing Director. “I founded this business with the express intention of disrupting the eDiscovery market. No other firm operates the way we do and as the first eDiscovery provider in the world to become a B Corp™, we continue to be pioneers in this industry.”
Chris Turner, CEO of B Lab UK, says:
“We are pleased to have B Corps of all shapes and sizes as part of our community, from startups to multinationals and across many different industries. Business is a powerful force and B Corps demonstrate that positive impact is possible in any sector.”
Now part of a growing global community of over 10,000 certified B Corps, with the UK representing the largest and fastest‑growing B Corp community worldwide, Ethical eDiscovery sees B Corp Certification™ as a practical framework for making sustainability a strategic business priority. By holding itself to rigorous standards, the company commits to accountability and responsibility for the impact of its decisions on a broad set of stakeholders, including workers, customers, suppliers, and communities.
Recognition as a leader in the legal technology sector can act as a catalyst for wider change across the industry. B Corp Certification™ empowers Ethical eDiscovery to be part of a global community of like‑minded organisations, fostering collaboration, shared learning, and a shared commitment to sustainability as a core driver of long‑term growth.
