Case Study: Hunton & Williams streamlines conflicts checking and eliminates duplicate data entry with OpenText LegalKEY Conflicts Management

Hunton & Williams LLP Discusses the Benefits of LegalKEY®

Hunton & Williams LLP, a global law firm with about 1,000 lawyers across multiple continents, faced increasing complexity in screening new clients and matters. Their legacy conflicts-checking module and manual new-business intake produced duplicate data entry, slow and disjointed searches, overly large irrelevant reports, and increased risk of human error.

The firm integrated OpenText LegalKEY® Conflicts Management with its in-house New Business Intake using OpenText’s NBI Core Services Layer and API, automating data flow and enabling advanced filtering, multi-source searches (OFAC/SDN, D&B) and bi-directional alerts. The solution eliminated duplicate entry, produced faster, more precise reports, improved risk management, and delivered measurable time savings (e.g., a 350-name search completed in ~1.5 hours versus 4–5 hours), letting lawyers spend more time on client work.
