Case Study: Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young eliminates 94% of documents from manual review with Relativity

Stradley Ronon Eliminates 94% of Documents from Manual Review

Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young faced a time‑critical insurance matter when opposing counsel produced about 7,900 documents (46,000 pages) on a Friday and a partner needed the key documents by Monday. The firm turned to Relativity, using Relativity Analytics’ clustering feature, to help an associate who had never used the system rapidly triage the production.

By loading the data into Relativity and applying clustering, the associate identified all relevant materials in a single cluster of roughly 450 documents (about 6% of the production), eliminating approximately 94% of the documents from manual review and completing the task in a couple of hours. Relativity’s Analytics delivered a dramatic cut in review volume and time, enabling Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young to meet the deadline and avoid a substantially longer manual review.
