Case Study: Barrister Digital Solutions achieves 80% data cull and 75% reduction in review time with Relativity

Using Eca and Analytics, Culled 80% of the Data and Cut 75% Of the Projected Review Time

Barrister Digital Solutions was engaged to support a small law firm on an employment matter that produced an overly broad collection of 358,095 documents from seven custodian email boxes and an HR shared drive. With one month and a single attorney available for review, Barrister Digital Solutions — whose Director of Professional Services, Sheryl Rahn, was undergoing Analytics onboarding with the Relativity Customer Success team — faced a severe time and volume challenge.

Using Relativity’s Early Case Assessment (ECA) and Analytics, Barrister Digital Solutions applied search terms and date filters, culled roughly 80% of the data, and used email threading, near-duplicate identification, and categorization to prioritize documents. Relativity’s workflow reduced the review set to 11,644 documents, allowing the attorney to finish the review in two weeks instead of the projected two months — a roughly 75% reduction in review time.
