Every Matter Starts With
Too Much Data.We Built Two Ways to
Cut It Down to Size.

Altorney was founded in 2022 by brothers Shimmy and Rachi Messing, who bring decades of experience in eDiscovery, compliance, and litigation technology. They started Altorney to build smarter, more efficient tools for the way complex legal work actually gets done. Meet the full team on our Company page.

Two products, each built to stand on its own:

MARC: a document intelligence platform that helps legal teams find what matters in their data, understand why it matters, and act on it sooner. It delivers explainable analysis across litigation, investigations, transactions, compliance, privacy requests, and data-breach response.

Altorney: a legal workforce platform for sourcing and managing vetted legal talent, with direct visibility into cost, time, performance, and progress.

No. MARC and Altorney each deliver value independently, so you can start with whichever one fits your immediate need. Used together, MARC brings the intelligence and Altorney brings the people to act on it, moving a matter from understanding the work to executing it without the usual handoffs and layers of cost.

Altorney is a legal workforce platform. It manages the full lifecycle in one place: source vetted legal talent, launch projects quickly, and manage time, budgets, performance, and progress as the work proceeds. Direct access to talent is one part of the platform, not the whole of it.

Altorney is not a staffing agency. You choose the people, set the hourly pay rate, and keep direct visibility into time, budgets, performance, and progress, with no opaque agency layer between you and your team. Qualified reviewers apply directly to your projects based on the criteria you set, and the platform automates administrative steps such as conflict checking and eSign onboarding.

Clients typically save approximately 40% compared with traditional staffing-agency models. Try our ROI Calculator to estimate your own annual savings.

Altorney gives legal teams direct access to vetted talent across the full range of roles a matter requires, not only document reviewers. Projects include litigation, employment, antitrust, and privacy reviews, foreign-language review, data-breach response, and paralegal services.

Law firms, ALSPs, corporate legal departments, government agencies, and management consulting firms.

MARC is a document intelligence platform. It analyzes document populations to help legal teams understand the facts, issues, relationships, risks, and significance of the information they contain, and it explains every result. Because MARC can run before data reaches a review platform as well as on data that is already hosted, teams can improve results while avoiding unnecessary hosting and review costs.

One engine supports six workflows:

Litigation review: relevance, responsiveness, issues, PII, PHI, trade secrets, privilege, and other matter-specific categories, with an explanation for each result.

Investigations: builds from the facts and objectives of the matter, then continuously re-ranks the dataset as new information emerges.

Divestiture and M&A screening: identifies what should transfer, what should remain, and what needs further review.

Compliance screening: repeatable, explainable analysis for recurring compliance risks.

DSAR response: finds personal information tied to a named individual across relevant data sources.

Data-breach analysis and response: determines what sensitive information was exposed and whose information was affected.

Law firms, ALSPs, corporate legal departments, and government agencies use MARC across litigation, investigations, transactions, compliance, privacy requests, and data-breach response.

Deployment is your choice. MARC can run in your cloud, in your own data center, or in Altorney’s secure hosted environment. All three are first-class options with the same analytical capabilities, so you can pick the one that fits your security, cost, and infrastructure requirements.

You decide where MARC runs. When it is deployed in your cloud or your data center, your data is analyzed inside infrastructure you control. In a cloud deployment, MARC installs in your own tenant using deployment scripts your team can review before they are run. If you prefer not to manage infrastructure, MARC runs in Altorney’s secure hosted environment.

Many review-platform AI tools begin only after data has been uploaded, indexed, and made billable. When MARC is deployed upstream, it analyzes your data first, so irrelevant documents never have to be hosted. In a benchmark against a Fortune 500 company’s full-team manual review, that approach reduced total review costs by 62%, hosting costs by 78%, and cycle time by 86%, completing a three-week review in three days.

No. MARC can work before your review platform, alongside it, or on data already hosted in it, including as a final privilege or quality-control check before production. Your existing platform stays in place.

Privilege analysis is a core MARC capability. For every designation, MARC identifies the parties, detects legal presence, and explains why the communication qualifies, so senior attorneys can QC quickly instead of re-reading from scratch. Run it before review to hand attorneys a pre-coded population, or after hosting as a final check before production.

Start from your matter, not a blank prompt. Type a case description, chat directly with your data, or upload a complaint, subpoena, or RFP for context. As you guide MARC with simple yes/no tagging, it continuously re-ranks the dataset to surface key people, events, relationships, and issues that keyword searches may miss.

MARC is priced to how you deploy, not by the seat. Choose client-hosted, Altorney-managed SaaS, or managed SaaS with your own AI provider key, and every path gets more cost-effective as volume grows. See the details on our Pricing page.

Once your account is activated, create a project and define one or more Reviewer Types with your requirements, such as skills, jurisdiction, and pay rate. Matching reviewers apply directly, and work can begin as soon as you accept them. Save templates to launch future projects faster.

A Reviewer Type lets you split one project into groups with their own skills, availability, and pay rates. For example, a single case might have a first-level review group at one rate, a team-lead group at another, and a Japanese-language review group at a third.

Yes. Use “Search for Reviewers” in the left-hand menu to search the talent pool against your criteria and see how many reviewers match. For highly specialized needs, contact Support by chat or email and we’ll help with targeted recruiting.

Yes. On the final screen of the Reviewer Type setup, leave the Start/Stop Recruit toggle off. Your requirements are saved, and you can gauge candidate volume before switching to “Start Recruiting.”

Many are law school graduates barred in one or more U.S. jurisdictions, but the platform also includes non-attorney reviewers for projects that don’t require a license. You set the credential requirements, such as a specific state bar, a J.D., or a paralegal track, when you configure each Reviewer Type.

Applicants appear on your Pending Reviewers page, and you’re notified. You can review each profile, including resume, platform history, and answers to your screening questions. When you accept a candidate, they receive an invitation; once they confirm, project documents and manager contact details unlock automatically.

Yes, in two ways. Invite Existing lets you choose favorite reviewers from past projects who are available. Invite by Email sends a project invitation straight to someone’s inbox; new users are guided through profile setup and into your project.

Reviewers log hours in the platform, which blocks entries outside active project dates. Reviewers must complete entries by Monday at 11:59 PM for the previous week, and clients approve them by Tuesday night. Entries that haven’t been reviewed by then are approved automatically so payroll stays on schedule.

Altorney’s platform fee starts at $200 per active reviewer per month and decreases at higher volumes. Under this model, you fund reviewer payroll directly at the hourly rate you set and the reviewer accepts, and Altorney adds no markup to reviewer pay. Altorney manages the administration, including submitting payroll to the payment processor.

If you prefer not to fund payroll directly, Altorney can fund it for a disclosed markup on the reviewer’s agreed pay rate. See our Pricing page or contact sales for details.

We support it. Client agreements include a conversion clause for direct hiring. Let your account manager know when you’ve made a decision so we can complete offboarding and issue the standard transition invoice under your contract terms.

Click “Find Projects” in the upper right of the portal and filter by skills, pay range, and work rules. If notifications are on, you’ll also get an email when a project matches your background. Clicking “Apply” takes you through the project’s screening questions and electronic onboarding documents before your application goes to the client.

First, check that your filters aren’t hiding it. A project may also be hidden because it has reached its reviewer limit, the client has paused recruiting, a conflict of interest was identified, or it overlaps with an active project of yours that doesn’t allow concurrent work.

You can have several applications pending at once. Some projects don’t allow concurrent work, which is shown by the “Allows concurrent work” setting in the project description. If you become active on a project that restricts concurrent work, your overlapping pending applications are withdrawn automatically.

No. Many projects require an active bar license or a J.D., but others, such as data-breach review and paralegal work, do not. Use Advanced Search to find projects that match your skills.

Two ways: a timer at the bottom left of the platform window that runs during active project periods, or manual entry on the Time Entries page. Each client chooses whether their project allows one or both; by default, both are allowed.

Go to your Time Entries page, where each entry has Edit and Delete options. You can change an entry only while it’s pending; once the client approves or rejects it, it’s locked for payroll and can’t be edited.

Enter your time daily, and always before the payroll period closes. If an emergency keeps you from submitting on time, email support@altorney.com right away with the exact dates and hours you worked so our team can add them for you.

Each client decides how its project is classified: Independent Contractor (1099) or Temporary Employee (W2). You can set your notifications to show 1099 projects, W2 projects, or both. Direct employment benefits aren’t available on 1099 projects, but the Benefits tab gives you access to discounted partner programs, including healthcare marketplaces and career mentorship.

After your first project assignment, you’ll receive an account activation link from our payroll partner. Pay is deposited weekly on Fridays, and your tax forms (1099 or W2) are always available to download from that payroll partner’s portal.
