Challenges
An Am Law 100 firm hired InterLegis with the following critical requirements:

  • Analyze over 4 terabytes of collected data
  • Determine how much data was relevant and required review
  • Given the initial size of the data, they could not invest blindly into eDiscovery processing on potentially irrelevant information

The eDiscovery industry is filled with vendors constantly nickel-and-diming clients on all facets of the Discovery process. Most matters involve receiving a large amount of irrelevant or non-responsive data. However, traditional models charge for every service provided throughout the eDiscovery process. This means that oftentimes, sizable expenditures are required just to understand the data.

Problem
This Am Law 100 client sent InterLegis 4TB of data to be processed and culled to the smallest, most relevant set possible. Given the pricing models associated with most outside vendors, processing this much data would have been a very costly undertaking.

Based on traditional vendor models, guiding 4TB of data through processing, early case assessment, culling, review and productions would have cost up to $2 Million. In the end, most of that investment would have been on irrelevant data. It was clear that this company needed a more cost-effective solution to analyze their data.

Recommended Solution
InterLegis solved the client’s needs by recommending comprehensive culling and processing methodology, utilizing the Discovery360 DataMapper technology. This solution was the most cost-effective and productive, because the client was able to do so at no cost.

Implementation
Interlegis provided this company full access to their end-to-end discovery solution, Discovery360. With this software, they could easily cull irrelevant and duplicate documents prior to full EDD processing. There were nearly 20 million documents loaded into DataMapper and InterLegis provided constant project management and reporting.

Results
With the help of the free data processing culling tools and service provided by InterLegis, an Am Law 100 company was able to accurately determine how much money would be spent on eDiscovery in addition to court costs and litigation. With the ability to avoid extreme expenditures, they came to a decision to settle out of court.

InterLegis’ advanced culling and processing tools are the most advanced solutions in the industry. With our ‘bottom of the funnel’ pricing model, InterLegis’ clients have the ability to realize and understand their data before any investment is required.
