Case Study: Shepherd and Wedderburn LLP reduces client costs and expedites early case assessment and review with Everlaw

Reducing Billable Costs and Expediting the Early Case Assessment and Review Process

Shepherd and Wedderburn, a Scottish‑headquartered UK law firm advising clients across 120+ jurisdictions, needed a modern e-discovery solution to replace on‑premises tooling, reduce administrative burden, and make early case assessment more efficient and predictable for clients. The firm selected Everlaw’s cloud‑native e‑discovery platform to give fee earners direct access to discovery workflows, remove dependence on technical staff, and eliminate unpredictable pricing.

Everlaw implemented its cradle‑to‑grave discovery platform with hands‑on Customer Success support, built‑in language identification and translation, intuitive indexing/search, and flat pricing. As a result, Shepherd and Wedderburn sped up early case assessment and review, significantly reduced transcription and client costs, freed IT to focus on billable work, and expanded use of the platform across multiple practice areas while achieving more predictable budgeting for matters.
