Case Study: Adams and Reese LLP achieves rapid, under‑budget 7‑day document production with DISCO AI

DISCO Team Reviews 56% Faster Than the Industry Average for Adams and Reese LLP

Adams and Reese LLP faced an expedited discovery deadline in a large commercial dispute—6,415 documents had to be reviewed and produced in seven days. They engaged DISCO, using DISCO AI Managed Review and the DISCO platform, to assemble a small, expert review team and tackle the tight turnaround.

DISCO used AI-driven prioritization and “just-in-time” batching so reviewers received the most likely-responsive documents first; the three-person team averaged 86 docs/hour (55 docs/hr day one, 164 peak) and completed the project ahead of schedule and under budget. DISCO’s approach delivered measurable impact: first-day batches were 27.5% responsive versus 9.2% overall, 86% of responsive documents were found after three days while reviewing 48% of the population, review speed was 1.56x the industry average, and overturn rates stayed low (privilege ~1%, responsiveness <5%).
