Scenario

The client was unable to handle the continuous document loads to review due to staffing and cost concerns. The firm was looking for a solution to reduce the document counts and provide staffing to get the documents reviewed on time and on budget.

Challenge

The client’s current linear review process could not be accomplished due to their small size and the cost. Due to their limited staff size, the client needed an alternative option to reduce document count and increase efficiency.

Solution

Lexitas suggested several ways to address the document count, including use of technology-assisted review and doing privilege screens to only review potentially privileged documents. We helped reduce the document count to review from 120,000 docs to 23,000 docs and provided the client a team to get through the materials quickly and at a cheaper cost than the client’s staff.

Outcome

The client was pleased by the efficiency and quality of our services, pool of talent, and cost-effective pricing that they quickly returned to us for an additional review. Ultimately, they decided not to use their own associates and opted to continue working with us instead on additional projects. In the end, the client’s saved an estimated 65.71%, or $180,331, compared to using an outside counsel for the review.
