Case Study: Withers LLP achieves rapid, secure, defensible review of 300,000+ documents with DISCO Ediscovery

How Withers LLP used DISCO to discreetly collect and rapidly distil a vast numberof documents into a relevant and searchable database that was demonstrablyrobust and accurate enough to survive legal challenge

Withers LLP, a global law firm representing high-net-worth clients, faced a tight deadline to review 300,000+ documents from three jurisdictions while maintaining strict discretion and data security. To meet the challenge, Withers enlisted DISCO and its AI-assisted ediscovery platform, DISCO Ediscovery, to rapidly ingest and organize a historic, multi-jurisdictional dataset for trial disclosure.

DISCO used a high-speed uploader (ingesting up to 200+ GB/hr), secure upload portals, and AI-prioritised review to create a searchable, defensible database; Withers ultimately eliminated 62% of collected documents from manual review so only 38% required eyes-on review, completed the first-stage disclosure in about three months, and successfully defended the AI-assisted methodology in court. DISCO’s technology, security protocols, and professional services delivered substantial time and cost savings (including £0 data upload fees) and enabled Withers to meet its disclosure obligations confidently.
