TransPerfect Legal Enhances Reef Review with New Capabilities

Advanced Short Message Viewer, Native Engineering Drawing Support, and Enhanced Workflow Capabilities Drive Next-Generation Document Review Experience

NEW YORK, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TransPerfect Legal, the global leader in legal technology, AI, and advisory services, today announced major updates to its Reef Review platform. The release includes new tools for text and third-party messaging data review, engineering drawings, and complex project workflows, expanding support for modern legal discovery and regulatory compliance.

The latest Reef Review updates center on two innovations: an advanced Short Message Format (SMF/RSMF) Viewer for comprehensive messaging data review and the industry's first native AutoCAD file viewing capability within a browser-based legal review platform.

Revolutionary Messaging Data Review Experience
As mobile communication and collaboration tools play a bigger role in legal discovery, the new SMF/RSMF Viewer gives legal teams better control and clarity in messaging-based evidence. The feature supports both Relativity Short Message Format (RSMF) and single-message datasets, providing flexibility and contextual insight.

“Legal teams are often working with messaging data that traditional review tools weren't designed to handle effectively," said Michael Kriegal, Vice President, Consulting Services at TransPerfect Legal. “Our enhanced platform offers a more intuitive, visual way to review messages in context.”

Key messaging data review capabilities include:

Native Conversation Flow: Review, code, and annotate messages as they appear in native apps, with full visibility into participants, attachments, and timestamps
Extensive Format Support: Accepts both industry-standard RSMF and single-message formats, streamlining client onboarding and dataset integration
Enhanced Productivity: Inline coding and direct attachment handling improve speed and accuracy

Industry-First AutoCAD Integration
Reef Review now provides the legal industry's first native, interactive support for AutoCAD files, eliminating technical barriers that have traditionally complicated matters in construction, engineering, and architecture.

Users can now open, zoom, measure, and review complex engineering drawings, 3D models, and blueprints directly in their browser environment without requiring third-party applications or specialized software. This breakthrough capability expands opportunities for legal teams to efficiently handle construction disputes, intellectual property matters, and regulatory compliance cases involving technical drawings.

These updates enable legal teams to accept larger, more complex matters involving non-traditional evidence types while maintaining efficiency and accuracy standards. Enhanced user experience and productivity features reduce manual processes and potential errors, delivering faster, more reliable results.

TransPerfect President and Co-CEO Phil Shawe commented, “These Reef Review enhancements reflect TransPerfect’s continued investment in tools that empower legal teams to handle emerging data types with greater speed, confidence, and accuracy.”

All updates are available across TransPerfect Legal’s global data center network. Clients can schedule a demonstration or consultation through their account contacts or by reaching out directly.
