Case Study: a financial services company reduces review burden and saves $500K with Epiq

Financial Services Client Successfully Challenges Government Investigation

The financial services company faced a government investigation into its banking practices and needed a partner to help its outside counsel drastically reduce a large volume of data for review. They engaged Epiq for its expertise in data reduction and its experience with government investigations.

Epiq implemented an aggressive data reduction strategy using search term and metadata analysis, which slashed the review dataset by 89%. Epiq also created a custom solution to remove similar emails by comparing Microsoft Conversation IDs, further reducing the count by thousands of documents. This effort saved the client an estimated $500,000 in review costs.
