Global law firm eliminates privilege log deficiencies in antitrust Second Request with AI PrivGen

During a high-stakes antitrust Second Request investigation, the firm needed to produce privilege logs across nearly 95,000 documents. Traditional manual drafting of privilege descriptions was slow and prone to repetitive or generic language that frequently drew government deficiency citations.

The firm deployed Consilio's AI PrivGen tool to assist with privilege log generation. The AI-assisted workflow combined automated description drafting with expert attorney oversight to produce regulator-ready logs with greater narrative consistency and clarity.

The AI-assisted workflow achieved a 73% confirmation rate for AI-generated descriptions and reduced drafting time by 33%. For the first time, the firm received a government deficiency letter with zero citations related to repetitive or generic privilege descriptions — a rare outcome in antitrust matters.

• AI-generated privilege descriptions can meet or exceed the quality bar required by government regulators when combined with expert oversight.
• A 73% attorney confirmation rate demonstrates that AI PrivGen drafts are substantively useful, not just starting points requiring heavy revision.
• Eliminating deficiency citations on privilege log quality is a measurable, high-value outcome that justifies AI adoption in high-stakes regulatory matters.
