As the legal sector races to harness generative AI, Cimplifi—an integrated eDiscovery services and contract analytics provider—has tapped Joe Maguire as its new Vice President of Artificial Intelligence and Analytics. The move signals a major step forward in Cimplifi’s bid to redefine AI-powered legal workflows through its rapidly expanding Unifi ai platform.
Maguire brings over a decade of legal experience and a rare blend of technical expertise to the role. A Relativity Expert and Generative AI Pro, he’s known for building defensible, high-efficiency eDiscovery workflows that blend automation with accuracy. His toolkit includes Relativity’s aiR for Review, aiR for Privilege, continuous active learning (CAL), and conceptual analytics—technologies that have already proven their ability to cut review time and costs in complex, high-stakes matters.
“Joe’s appointment marks a pivotal moment for Cimplifi and our clients,” said Brandon Jessup, Chief Delivery Officer at Cimplifi. “His proven track record, technical acumen, and client-first approach will accelerate our ability to deliver intelligent, AI-powered solutions that solve real-world challenges, reduce risk, and unlock new value.”
AI Meets Legal Intelligence
Maguire’s appointment underscores the accelerating integration of AI in eDiscovery and legal operations, where automation and analytics are reshaping how firms handle document review, privilege identification, and compliance.
At Cimplifi, Maguire will drive development and adoption of Unifi ai, the company’s flagship platform designed to embed machine learning and generative AI directly into review workflows—boosting speed, precision, and defensibility.
“I’m excited to join Cimplifi at a time when AI is transforming legal services,” Maguire said. “By embedding AI and analytics into core workflows, we can help clients automate routine work, increase speed, and drive strategic value.”
A Legal Technologist at the Crossroads of AI and Compliance
Maguire, admitted to the Virginia State Bar, holds a Juris Doctor from Regent University School of Law and a bachelor’s degree from Virginia Tech. His certifications—including Relativity Certified Administrator, Generative AI Pro, aiR for Privilege Pro, and Project Management Specialist—reinforce his deep technical fluency across AI-assisted review and governance.
His leadership in developing best practices for Relativity’s Review Center and aiR for Review has set new operational benchmarks across the eDiscovery ecosystem.
Why It Matters
Cimplifi’s latest leadership move comes as AI reshapes the legal services market, from predictive analytics and contract review to data compliance. The company’s strategic bet on AI aligns with broader trends across the legal tech landscape—where firms are increasingly leaning on hybrid human-AI models to balance efficiency with defensibility.
Maguire’s appointment not only expands Cimplifi’s AI leadership bench but also positions the company as a front-runner in applied legal AI, emphasizing real-world impact over experimentation.
