Thanks, Aleksey. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us. Disco delivered another strong performance in the second quarter as we continue to deepen our relationships with our largest customers, secure large and complex matters and extend our leadership in AI built specifically for litigators. We remain convinced that trust earned through deep litigation expertise, enterprise scale and security is what determines who wins as AI reshapes this industry and Q2 gave us further evidence that DISCO is earning that trust at scale. In Q2, total revenue was $43.1 million, up 13% year-over-year, and software revenue was $36.8 million, also up 13% year-over-year. Services revenue was $6.3 million, up 18% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA was negative $3.4 million. We remain on track to be adjusted EBITDA positive in Q4 of this year. It was a great quarter, and I'll come back to the highlights in a moment. But I want to start with something we announced today that represents an incredibly exciting new era for DISCO, the launch of our Unified Litigation Solution. This will take DISCO well beyond Ediscovery and into serving the complete and unique needs of litigators with purpose-built AI capabilities. In the near term, we're uniting the facts of a matter with the controlling law alongside proprietary litigation-specific workflows, all through a single pane of glass. We are ultimately building a full suite of integrated litigation solutions that span the life of a matter from filing to verdict, handling everything from legal facts to drafting to case strategy to trial preparation. While companies like Harvey and Legora have approached legal with broad general tools, we are laser-focused on litigators with a much deeper solution to meet the high bar set for scale, defensibility and security. We've talked before about how litigators need purpose-built capabilities. How they want them in a single centralized interface and how no one has successfully connected the facts and the law in a seamless way that unlocks real strategic advantage. DISCO will change that. I'll let Richard get into the specifics a little later, but I want to tell you why we're excited about it at the highest level. It takes a litigator a decade or more to really master their craft. And even then, what one case team learns rarely carries over to the next matter or to the next team. Moreover, the tools are generally only as good as the lawyer behind the keyboard. We believe a platform to understand the case and carries that context forward to put winning outcomes in reach for a lot more people and unlock a wealth of institutional knowledge and expertise that today sits siloed within individual lawyers and individual cases. This will mean greater ability to connect the dots, both within and across cases. It will give litigators greater control over the matters by assembling the tools and knowledge that they need to be successful in a single place. Litigators will be able to focus on the things their clients value most, strategic advice built on deep insight. While DISCO takes care of the surrounding chaos with an integrated and secure system tuned to the things that are most important for the success of the matter. For litigators, this is a significantly better and faster way to work. For firms and corporations, this is a force multiplier that makes case teams more effective and more efficient with better access to information and applications built specifically for them. Our customers are already excited as we're developing this solution, we're working closely with some of our largest and longest tenured customers, some of whom are participating in our pilot. One thing we hear time and time again during these pilots is that litigation is unique and the general purpose AI tools like Harvey and Legora provide only a fraction of the capabilities today's litigators need. This is particularly true when it comes to deep context, especially when it relates to facts and law. One leading national litigation boutique that is participating in our pilot program said combining our evidence directly with relevant case law is the missing piece for us. Integrating the two would be a total game changer. Customer validation even at this early stage, gives us confidence that the market is ready for this and that customers see the long-term vision of what we're developing, building a solution for litigation intelligence and strategy unlocks a much more significant opportunity beyond Ediscovery as we believe that any innovative law firm that is serious about tapping into the power of AI to enhance the litigation practice will want the most advanced capabilities in their arsenal. We've been building toward this for a decade, Ediscovery, Cecilia, Auto Review and Advanced Research have all been steps along the way, and our Unified Litigation Solution is the next and most ambitious one. As we're building for the future, the DISCO team continues to deliver today. In Q2, we saw strong performance across the 3 areas that matter most to our near- and medium-term growth strategy. First, continued growth in large matters. Second, continued growth in wallet share with large customers; and third, accelerating adoption of AI across our platform. Let's start with large matters because it's really the thread that connects everything else. We continue to see an increase in the size and complexity of the matters coming on to our platform. This quarter, we saw strong performance in both quantity of large matters and revenue generated from these matters. As we've discussed before, larger matters are simply worth more to us over their lifetime. They generate more revenue, they expand as the case develops, and they stay on our platform longer. They also drive more AI adoption and usage on our platform. Alongside large matters, we also saw significant progress with large customers. The largest, most sophisticated firms not only have more large matters, they have significant litigation and frequent spending. So we believe growing this customer segment gives us a more efficient approach to a predictable and durable revenue base. The number of customers generating more than $100,000 over the last 12 months grew to 354, representing $128 million or 77% of the last 12 months of total revenue. That equates to 15% year-on-year growth. We were also very pleased with customer adoption of our generative AI and agentic AI capabilities. This quarter, we saw continued growth in adoption such that revenue attributable to generative AI and agentic AI capabilities more than tripled year-on-year. Both Cecilia and Auto Review were drivers of growth in Q2 with Auto Review experiencing a material increase from Q1, driven by pipeline growth, larger matters, higher matter count and repeat usage. I'm excited for the traction that we're seeing and for what's ahead. We and our customers view our AI-native capabilities as increasingly integral to how litigators actually run their matters rather than just a feature they tried once. The repeat use of Auto Review by customers is central to our strategy. In Q2, we began to roll out a significant enhancement to Auto Review that simplifies and accelerates the process of creating the inputs required for effective AI review. As we discussed last quarter, our customers have varying degrees of AI readiness. This enhancement helps lessen the learning curve, making Auto Review an even better option for more customers and more matters. Advanced Research also continues to gain traction. The feedback from firms that have been piloting its capabilities has been unanimous in that it provides significantly deeper insights, reasoning and recommendations and is particularly suited to complex matters where its ability to autonomously reason across large intricate data sets adds another layer of intelligence to their workflows. We also saw very strong adoption of the DISCO platform, our new commercial model in the quarter, which continues to significantly outpace our internal goals. In fact, we hit our December 2026 year-end run rate by June. The demand has been higher and adoption has been faster than we anticipated. We are seeing both more matters and larger matters coming on to DISCO due to our more straightforward pricing and because Cecilia AI is included on every matter. The apples-to-apples pricing and reduced user friction for our adjacent products has resonated with customers and further driven our performance. All of this adds up to an incredibly exciting story for DISCO. We continue to gain traction in our core business with larger matters, larger customers and accelerating adoption of our AI capabilities. This gives us a strong foundation to rapidly scale our next-generation Unified Litigation Solution. Now I'm going to turn it over to Richard, who will provide a deeper dive on those capabilities and the incredible work underway to bring them to life for our customers. Richard?
