Case Study: International Financial Services Company achieves 87% cost reduction with Epiq Enhanced Associate Solutions

International Financial Services Company Conducts Proof of Concept and Utilizes Enhanced Associate Solutions for Second Level Review

The client, an international financial services company, needed to significantly reduce its outside legal spend for litigation. They identified the second level review of documents, a task historically performed by high-cost outside counsel, as a key area for potential savings. The company turned to Epiq to evaluate its Enhanced Associate Solutions (EAS) service to meet this challenge.

Epiq devised a Proof of Concept, pitting its EAS team directly against the outside counsel team on a live matter. The results showed Epiq's review was 100% faster and provided the same high quality, as confirmed in a joint validation report. Following the successful test, Epiq's EAS team took over the second level review work, which resulted in an 87% reduction in costs for the client while maintaining the required standard of work.
