Relativity Launches Relativity FOIA to Streamline Public Disclosure Operations for Government Agencies

News Summary:

• Relativity FOIA, a legal data intelligence solution for public disclosure operations, is now generally available in RelativityOne Government.
• Purpose-built for FOIA and other public disclosure programs, Relativity FOIA helps agencies manage high request volumes, reduce backlogs and deliver timely, defensible responses through a unified workflow.
• The launch expands Relativity's public sector capabilities by extending RelativityOne Government to support public disclosure, building on the platform's existing use across investigations, litigation and breach response.

CHICAGO, June 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Relativity, a legal data intelligence company, today announced the general availability of Relativity FOIA, a purpose-built solution for managing public disclosures, available in RelativityOne Government. With this launch, Relativity expands its AI platform for legal data intelligence into government disclosure work, reflecting the company's continued commitment to the public sector and its strategy to support investigations, litigation and breach response on a single platform at enterprise scale.

Government agencies received a record 1.7 million Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests in FY25—a 13% increase compared to FY24—while continuing to operate with disconnected systems, manual workflows and resource-intensive processes that struggle to keep up with growing backlogs. Relativity FOIA was built to help agencies meet that challenge.

Designed in close partnership with FOIA practitioners, Relativity FOIA brings intake, case management, collection and review, response delivery, and publication into one connected workflow within Relativity's AI cloud platform for government agencies. The result is a more defensible, auditable process that reduces manual handoffs and helps agencies manage volume without sacrificing quality or compliance.

"Agencies aren't just facing a FOIA challenge. They're managing fundamentally different missions across investigations, litigation, breach response and public disclosure, often across fragmented systems," said Chris Brown, Chief Product Officer at Relativity. "Relativity FOIA brings the full disclosure lifecycle into RelativityOne, the platform agencies already trust for their most demanding legal work. Different stakes and different deadlines, but one system—that's Legal Data Intelligence in practice."

Reducing complexity across public disclosure operations

FOIA and other public records requests have historically been managed across various systems, with intake, tracking, review and publication handled separately through portals, spreadsheets, inboxes and review tools. Each handoff introduces repeated data entry, inconsistent processes and delays that can stretch the most time-intensive step, review and redaction, from weeks into months.

With Relativity FOIA, agencies can manage the full lifecycle of public information disclosure requests, from intake to release, in one auditable solution within RelativityOne Government, a FedRAMP Class C Certified environment. By combining defensible AI, automation and the proven review technology already used for litigation and investigations, the solution helps standardize exemption rationale, accelerate review and strengthen collaboration across teams.

"FOIA professionals are the backbone of government transparency," said Brian Thompson, Practice Lead, Public Sector at Relativity. "We built Relativity FOIA alongside them—analysts, attorneys and program leads whose experience informed every stage of development. Supporting their work means strengthening the transparency mission itself."

Thompson previously served for more than 15 years in federal government roles, including at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and as the system owner of FOIAonline.

Extending the value of prior disclosures

Relativity FOIA helps agencies manage high request volumes and deliver more timely, defensible responses by turning prior review work into reusable intelligence, producing a complete audit trail aligned to oversight expectations, and giving requesters real-time visibility into request status. 

The solution also includes Disclosure Center, an innovation designed to help agencies reduce backlogs and improve efficiency. Disclosure Center turns reviewed work into controlled release packages using the same documents, redactions, determinations and metadata created during earlier reviews.

Additionally, Relativity FOIA supports Reading Room publication, enabling agencies to make approved releases publicly accessible without requiring a formal FOIA request. Together, these capabilities help agencies reduce repeat work, support proactive disclosure and maintain consistency across similar requests.

Relativity Launches Relativity FOIA to Streamline Public Disclosure Operations for Government Agencies

Debuting in the U.S. June 1, with international availability this fall

ROCHESTER, N.Y., June 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Fee Brothers, the fifth‑generation, family‑owned flavor house, is launching a first‑of‑its‑kind line of water‑soluble Fat Washes that make savory cocktails faster, more consistent, and easier for bars to execute. The line debuts in three flavors—bacon, roasted duck, and browned butter—giving bartenders a simple, shelf‑stable way to add depth, aroma, and velvety mouthfeel without the traditional fat‑washing process.

"Our love of savory cocktails had us fat washing at home," said Jon Spacher, president and CEO of Fee Brothers. "Once we cracked a water-soluble version with the same flavor and mouthfeel, sharing it was an easy call."

Fat washing has long been used to add richness and complexity to cocktails, but the method requires hours or days of infusion, freezer space, straining, and product loss. Fee Brothers Fat Wash removes those barriers while preserving the flavor and texture bartenders expect. The water‑soluble line integrates seamlessly into cocktails without oiliness or separation. A few dashes add weight and roundness, delivering a luxurious mouthfeel.

As savory cocktails continue to grow in popularity, bars are looking for ways to offer these flavors without slowing service or increasing labor. Fee Brothers developed Fat Wash to help operators introduce savory cocktails in high‑volume environments while maintaining consistency across shifts and locations.

"An absolute game changer," said Matt Green, founder and operator of Aqua Vitae. "It delivers pure efficiency with zero mess."

Operational efficiency was a core focus during development. This innovation helps reduce ingredient and preparation costs while providing an opportunity to increase margins by eliminating the need to fat wash an entire bottle of spirits. By eliminating labor‑heavy prep, Fee Brothers Fat Wash helps operators protect margins and introduce savory cocktails more reliably. It gives bars a way to elevate the guest experience without adding back‑of‑house strain.

All three flavors will be available in 5‑oz dash cap bottles. The line is gluten‑free and formulated for flavor stability. When stored properly, Fat Wash has a recommended shelf life of three years from the date of manufacture.

The U.S. debut is June 1, with broader availability through distributors and select online retailers to follow. The European Union launch will take place in October at Bar Convent Berlin, where Fee Brothers anticipates strong interest from craft cocktail bars and high‑volume venues.
