Case Study: Am Law 200 firm achieves 53% cost savings and completes 400K‑doc privilege review in six weeks with DISCO

Firm reduces costs and makes tight deadline by migrating 400K documents to DISCO Ediscovery

Am Law Firm faced a time- and cost-sensitive privilege review during a complex bankruptcy involving 150+ defendants and roughly 400,000 documents. With offshore reviewers unavailable due to COVID-19 and an in‑house review estimated to cost well over $1 million and monopolize associates’ time, the firm engaged DISCO, migrating their databases to DISCO Ediscovery and contracting the DISCO Review team to meet a tight deadline.

DISCO migrated the firm’s data in 48 hours and used DISCO AI and its DISCO Review team to prioritize and review documents, averaging 71 docs/hour (vs. 25/hr in‑house), completing the work within the guaranteed timeframe for under $1 per document. The engagement cost $373,000 (about 53% less than in‑house), achieved an 82% time savings, reduced review volume by 51% via AI, produced a privilege log with only 3% tag overrides, and drew no challenges from opposing counsel — all delivered by DISCO.
