Fortune 100 Telecom Company Cuts Review Time by 80% with Relativity aiR for Privilege

From missed documents to mission accomplished. Learn how one company saved months of time, thousands of dollars, and prevented 5,000 costly mistakes from going out the door.

The Challenge: Doing More with Less in Complex Litigations

A fortune 100 telecom company’s lean e-discovery team needed a way to more efficiently handle the vast amounts of data in their complex litigations. They were eager to see how generative AI could drive savings across privilege review while also reducing the risk of inadvertent disclosures.

The Solution: Relativity aiR for Privilege Changes the Game

The team was working through a particularly challenging case with millions of documents. They decided to use aiR for Privilege on a 93,000-document set that had already been reviewed for privilege by contract attorneys over the course of two months but had yet to be produced. By comparing aiR’s results to the previous coding decisions, the team could measure the solution’s performance against manual review.

Furthermore, because the case was expected to last quite a while, they knew they could leverage aiR for Privilege’s learnings to drive even greater efficiencies in future productions.

The Results: Speed, Protection, and Savings

aiR for Privilege delivered the powerful, high-quality privilege review the team was looking for —and more. In just one week, a single e-discovery attorney used aiR for Privilege to analyze the entire 93,000-document set. The solution delivered impeccable accuracy, catching over 5,000 privileged documents that were missed by human reviewers. Some of the missed privileged documents even discussed case strategy and likely would have required clawbacks – aiR for Privilege prevented them from going out the door.

From Pain to Progress: Privilege Review Reinvented

The company’s e-discovery team is eager to use aiR for Privilege on nearly all their privilege review projects moving forward. Its powerful AI technology helps them work faster while simultaneously producing more accurate privilege calls that reduce the organization’s risk in complicated cases.

But the story doesn’t end there. The team has also reaped some additional advantages with aiR for Privilege:

• Easier privilege log creation

  aiR for Privilege has transformed the team’s privilege logging approach, further improving their review process. aiR provides privilege log descriptions for each document analyzed, helping the team complete this often painful, expensive, and multi-week process in just a matter of days.
