Case Study: Relativity uses Gavel AI to speed up and strengthen DPA review

Relativity cuts contract review time by 60% with Gavel

Relativity, a leading legal data intelligence company, sought to improve the speed and accuracy of its data protection agreement (DPA) reviews. The challenge was that these dense, technical contracts required meticulous manual review to identify risky clauses, a process that was both time-consuming and prone to human error, potentially leaving hidden liabilities in the fine print. To address this, Relativity used Gavel Exec, an AI-powered redlining tool from the vendor Gavel.

The solution implemented was Gavel Exec, which runs a customized playbook directly within Microsoft Word to automatically flag and substantively redline issues in DPAs. It checks for five key areas: data processing scope, subprocessor requirements, cross-border data transfers, security measures, and liability terms. By using Gavel, the company achieved a significant reduction in manual review time, allowing its legal team to focus on strategic decision-making rather than tedious clause analysis, and gained greater confidence that signed agreements were free of hidden risks.
