Case Study: a global construction and engineering firm reduces eDiscovery review by 93% with Epiq

Epiq helps global construction firm contain costs while responding to a third-party subpoena for documents

The customer, a global construction and engineering firm and its insurance carrier, faced the challenge of responding to a costly third-party subpoena for documents. With over 70 custodians and 2.1 million documents, they sought to contain costs and meet deadlines using technology assisted review (TAR), but were uncertain it would work with their unique data. Vendor Epiq was recommended to address this need.

Epiq's solution involved a proof-of-concept to validate their TAR approach, followed by using predictive coding, email threading, and privilege search terms. This reduced the review set from 2.1 million to just 152,000 documents, a 93% reduction. Epiq delivered quick results, drastically cutting review time and costs for the client.
