Case Study: Dickinson Wright achieves $335,250 in review cost savings and 16× faster review with Relativity

Dickinson Wright Saves $335,250 in Review Costs

Dickinson Wright, a 135‑year‑old full‑service law firm with 350 lawyers, faced a large medical insurance matter containing more than 500,000 documents and an anticipated low responsiveness rate. Rather than proceed with a traditional review estimated at 12 attorneys for 21 days (~$360,000), Dickinson Wright used Relativity and its Assisted Review capability to address the challenge.

Using Relativity Assisted Review, a single subject‑matter expert trained the system across three rounds and narrowed the potentially responsive set to 2,700 documents, completing the job in roughly 90 hours (about 1/16 of the projected time). The workflow allowed Dickinson Wright to produce most documents and delivered an estimated review cost savings of $335,250.
