Client Success Stories Antitrust Investigation - Let's Make a Deal The Challenge When one of the country's Top 100 law firms had to review more than 5.5 million pages of electronic documents for a high profile government antitrust investigation, the stakes were too high to risk any delay in schedule. Eager to close the deal, they turned to Applied Discovery for a solution. The Case The legal team was faced with over 94 gigabytes of electronic data and a second request from the FTC. They had to find a way to complete the review — quickly and economically. Overwhelmed by the idea of manually gathering and reviewing documents from 138 custodians in 10 states, they did their research and settled on two options: 1) use the traditional paper review method, or 2) use Applied Discovery's Online Review service. The decision was simple. Compared to printing costs alone, they would realize significant savings using Applied Discovery's secure, Web—based repository for review — all without printing a single page. The Applied Discovery Difference Quality - Sophisticated Features and an Intuitive Interface Applied Discovery's sophisticated Online Review functionality enabled the legal team to search the entire collection for significant documents and key words and phrases. They quickly identified privileged material, and were easily able to locate documents that supported the theories of the case. Capacity - Immediate Access for Reviewers Around the World Because Applied Discovery's Web-based service allows worldwide access 24 hours a day, the firm was able to assign reviewers from 7 states and 2 continents to participate in the review process. Using in-house resources enabled the team to complete review and production in record time, while avoiding unnecessary shipping and outsourcing costs they would have incurred with paper-based review. Service - The Client Solutions Group The legal team joined forces with an Account Manager from Applied Discovery's Client Solutions Group to develop an efficient data collection and review strategy. Because Applied Discovery's system allowed access by an unlimited number of users, they were able to take advantage of staff from offices around the world, minimizing the use of temp attorneys. With limitless training sessions specifically tailored to the case and lasting only 45 minutes it was easy to mobilize people quickly. Applied Discovery made it possible for the team to use 52 different reviewers — some for just a week and some for the entire project. The Outcome It was the first time this antitrust group used an electronic discovery solution. Applied Discovery played an important role in streamlining the review and production process for the legal team and the corporation they represented. Utilizing Applied Discovery, the legal team completed the second request production in record time — a full 2 weeks before the other company involved in the merger — while providing significant cost savings to their client.
