Case Study: a leading energy company shaves weeks off compliance audits with Everlaw

a leading energy company saves $140,000 and cuts compliance review to 8 hours with Everlaw

The customer, a leading energy company, faced a significant challenge in its compliance and dispute resolution processes. Its small team was overwhelmed by the need to manually review hundreds of thousands of complex chat messages and documents using Microsoft Outlook, a tool not built for discovery. This process was incredibly time-consuming, taking weeks for each audit and often pulling the director away from other critical duties, which sometimes resulted in fines. The company needed a better solution to manage its data and turned to Everlaw for a more versatile and powerful platform.

By implementing Everlaw, the company gained a solution that could effectively handle its unique and voluminous chat data. The platform's powerful search, tagging, and Early Case Assessment features allowed the team to quickly cull large data sets down to the most relevant records. In one instance, they reduced 300,000 documents to 2,000 in less than eight hours, a task that previously took over a month. This efficiency led to an estimated savings of $140,000 in outside counsel fees and dramatically reduced review times from weeks to hours, allowing the team to resolve disputes faster and avoid unnecessary legal action.
