Case Study: State Attorney General’s Office achieves rapid, secure document review and streamlined collaboration with Everlaw

Big Case, Big Problems in the State AG Office The Everlaw Solution for Investigation, Onboarding, and Security

The State Attorney General faced crippling e‑discovery challenges: onboarding large, diverse reviewer groups, allocating and searching across massive document sets, enforcing access and security controls, and coordinating review without frequent face‑to‑face meetings. After struggling with other enterprise vendors, the office adopted Everlaw’s cloud-based litigation platform (including Search, Messaging, and StoryBuilder) to solve these problems.

Everlaw provided fast, intuitive search, secure two‑factor protected storage, turnkey administration, and in‑platform Messaging so admins could provision accounts in about 20 minutes and train users in roughly an hour. In a major antitrust matter—135 reviewers, 80 assignment groups, 3,440 review assignments, and 1.18 million documents—the team sent nearly 5,000 messages in nine months to narrow the case to fewer than 650 key documents, cut email and phone coordination, prevented unsecured downloads of privileged files, and accelerated review while maintaining strict access controls.
