Epiq has acquired LitLingo, an AI-driven communication monitoring platform. This acquisition boosts Epiq’s global compliance and risk management skills. Now, Epiq can help organizations spot and reduce risks in business communications. This includes areas like antitrust, anti-bribery, labor compliance, and information security.
LitLingo’s technology uses patented AI and machine learning to analyze employee communications, like emails and chats. It works in real time and retrospectively. The platform flags risky content as it’s created, allowing organizations to act before issues escalate. Supporting over 75 languages, it aims to reduce false positives. The solution offers clear insights and shows compliance performance in different regions and roles.
Integrating with the Epiq Service Cloud lets organizations monitor in real time and analyze historical data. This helps compliance teams spot trends, focus on high-risk areas, and use resources better. As a result, businesses can shift from reactive investigations to proactive risk prevention. This change reduces exposure and lowers costs.

“Expectations and standards for compliance leaders to demonstrate that their programs are well-designed and proactively mine data to avert non-compliant activity continue to gain momentum from the regulatory community,” said Erin Toomey, Vice President, Global Investigations Practice Group Leader at Epiq. “LitLingo AI allows organizations to move beyond waiting for concerns from the hotline to controls that prevent misconduct.”
As part of the acquisition, LitLingo’s team joins Epiq, including former CEO Darin Hicks, who will serve as Managing Director of Compliance. Hicks brings extensive experience in helping enterprises streamline compliance processes and significantly reduce investigation timelines.
“LitLingo was built to provide highly accurate risk detection and prevent compliance issues before they happen,” said Hicks. “Joining Epiq allows us to scale our technology globally as part of the Epiq Service Cloud and better address investigations, regulatory scrutiny, and the daily challenges compliance teams face.”
The acquisition underscores a growing industry shift toward AI-enabled compliance strategies that prioritize early detection, continuous monitoring, and operational efficiency.
