Case Study: Gray Plant Mooty achieves rapid three-week investigative review and 1.2M-email visualization with OpenText Axcelerate (OpenText)

Gray Plant Mooty legal team delivers time-sensitive investigation with OpenText

Gray Plant Mooty (GPM), a 170‑attorney full‑service law firm, was engaged by a large corporation to investigate potential liability in a troubled development project with only 45 days to complete the work. The team had to conduct 18 interviews and analyze a broad data set—1.2 million emails from 10 custodians spanning four years—requiring an aggressive, expedited review strategy to determine timelines, causes, and personnel awareness.

Working with OpenText Professional Services, GPM used OpenText Axcelerate (Hypergraph, Predictive Coding and search) in a three‑phase approach—communications analysis, prioritized review and validation—to visualize connections, train analytics and sample results. The team reviewed the data in under three weeks (first‑pass by five attorneys), uncovered documents they might otherwise have missed, focused follow‑up interviews, prepared the board report on time, and avoided longer‑term hosting costs.
