Case Study: Am Law 200 Law Firm cuts document review time by 66% with Everlaw AI

Am Law 200 Law Firm slashes doc review time from six weeks to under two with Everlaw

The Am Law 200 law firm faced a high-stakes insurance litigation matter involving a massive initial data set of nearly 600,000 documents. The challenge was to conduct a rigorous and defensible review to identify responsive evidence without dedicating excessive time and financial resources, especially after delaying the review due to potential settlement talks. To navigate this data deluge efficiently, the firm turned to Everlaw and utilized its generative AI tool, Coding Suggestions.

Everlaw's solution involved an iterative, AI-assisted workflow where the firm refined prompts for the Coding Suggestions tool on a test set before full deployment. This process achieved a 93% precision rate on the validated responsive set and dramatically accelerated the timeline. The results were transformative: the document review was completed in less than two weeks instead of an estimated six, and at one-fifth of the cost of a traditional review. The success with Everlaw has led the firm to standardize the use of its AI tools across its practice.
