The Challenge

A national AmLaw 50 firm faced a high-stakes litigation matter requiring rapid identification of critical evidence within a large document production. The production contained 138,000 documents, and conventional review threatened to slow insight and weaken the firm's strategic position.

The Solution

The firm partnered with Consilio and applied Consilio Legal AI workflows combined with attorney oversight. Advanced AI was used to surface high-value evidence while lawyers retained control over review and validation.

Results

Review time dropped from more than 30 hours to six hours, described as identifying critical litigation evidence 5x faster. The firm gained faster insight, lower cost, and a stronger strategic position in the matter.

Key Takeaways

- Combining advanced AI workflows with attorney oversight can sharply compress e-discovery review timelines on large productions.
- Quantified speed gains (30+ hours to 6) matter most when AI is applied to high-stakes evidence identification, not just volume reduction.
- Vendor-assisted AI review can improve cost and strategic readiness when human legal judgment remains in the loop.
