The Challenge
Our client, a cloud-native eDiscovery and litigation intelligence platform used by law firms, corporate legal teams, and government agencies, needed to run account-based displacement campaigns against their largest competitors in the legal technology space – with a specific focus on the US, Canada, and UK markets.
The eDiscovery market is dominated by a handful of entrenched incumbents with deeply embedded relationships inside Am Law 200 firms, Fortune 500 legal departments, and federal agencies. Switching costs are high: legal teams build workflows, coding templates and case archives inside their existing platform, which makes displacement a high-intent, high-touch sales motion. Generic lead lists don’t work here – the client’s marketing operations team needed to know precisely which firms and legal departments are currently paying for a competing eDiscovery platform and which individuals inside those organizations influence or sign off on legal technology purchases.
The CMO received our initial cold outreach and assigned the evaluation to her Senior Marketing Operations Manager – a clear signal that this was being treated as a serious vendor assessment, not a casual inquiry.
The stakeholder’s first move was to request 100 sample contacts to validate data quality before committing. We held to our standard sample size of 15 contacts – a deliberate choice. In our experience, 15 well-built records are enough to demonstrate quality without devaluing the dataset. The stakeholder reviewed the 15 contact sample, validated accuracy against her own internal benchmarks and moved forward with a full purchase.
The Solution
We scoped a phased engagement to deliver verified customer datasets for the client’s named competitors across the US, Canada and UK – enriched with the firmographic and contact-level fields their marketing operations and sales teams needed to segment, route and personalize outreach to legal technology decision-makers.
Data fields delivered per record: Contact name · Job title · Verified business email · Phone numbers · Company name · Website · Physical address · State · Country · ZIP code · SIC code · Industry · Revenue size · Employee size
Across both engagements, we delivered ~7,155 verified companies and ~19,977 decision-maker contacts covering five competitors in the client’s displacement target set.
Every record was built against the client’s geographic and firmographic requirements – not a generic global dump. Each dataset was validated before delivery and the relationship followed the same trust-building cadence we bring to every engagement: sample first, prove quality, then scale.
The Results
The buyer deployed the combined datasets through their outbound and ABM programs, targeting verified decision-makers at law firms, corporate legal departments and government agencies currently using competing eDiscovery platforms. What followed validated both the data quality that the initial 15-contact sample had signaled and the effectiveness of geographic-specific competitive displacement data in a high-trust, high-switching-cost market.
Campaign performance across the full engagement
From the ~7,155 verified competitor customers and ~19,977 decision-maker contacts delivered across two datasets, the buyer’s campaigns generated:
- Positive response from 580+ companies across outbound, ABM and event-driven touchpoints – a notably strong engagement rate for a market where legal technology buyers are typically conservative and difficult to reach
- ~12% of engaged accounts converted into paying customers within the first two quarters of outreach, reflecting the precision of competitor-verified lists in a market where buyers already have budget allocated to an eDiscovery platform
- ~30% of those new customers expanded or renewed, adding seats, case volumes, or upgrading to enterprise tiers – becoming repeat revenue accounts
- The remaining engaged accounts entered nurture and pipeline cycles for future conversion
