Law Firm Unearths FCPA-Relevant Documents Quickly and Cost-Effectively with Axcelerate On-Demand
The Case Overview
In 2011, a global not-for-profit company engaged a nationally-recognized law firm to conduct an internal investigation related to compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).
The Challenge: Early Access to Relevant Documents, Economical Document Review
The law firm’s attorneys needed an economical solution that would quickly uncover any questionable practices or problems that had occurred over the past decade in countries where their client operated.
The law firm’s key challenges included:
• Zeroing in on the right documents quickly without a complete understanding of what they were looking for—a process that would require more than standard search term technology
• Analyzing and reviewing records in multiple languages
• Deploying a solution rapidly and cost-effectively
• Meeting the data privacy requirements of foreign countries for the importation of data
The Solution: A Mature eDiscovery Platform with Innovative Predictive Coding
After a broad review of available solutions, the law firm selected Recommind’s Axcelerate On-Demand, because it had the greatest potential to reduce time and costs. According to the law firm’s E-Discovery Counsel, they had been following the progress of Axcelerate for several years. The law firm was very impressed with the solution’s maturity and the potential of Predictive Coding, so they wanted to see the solution in action.
The Client Assessment
The law firm needed to conduct a fast, thorough document review, and with Axcelerate, they were able to accomplish these goals. Axcelerate’s technology, including Predictive Coding, complemented the work of the firm’s attorneys and brought key documents to the surface much faster than if the firm had relied on keyword searching and linear review. In fact, Predictive Coding cut attorney review time of the document set to 1,000 hours, while a linear review of the document set would have taken approximately 16,000 hours, according to an attorney who headed the review effort. The attorney also noted the responsiveness and exceptional service of the Recommind team.
