Case Study: Am Law 100 firm cuts document review time by about two-thirds with EverlawAI Coding Suggestions
Key results
The challenge
An Am Law 100 firm's three-attorney team needed to review 126,000 documents for production in a large-scale government investigation within a tight timeframe and budget, work that traditionally would require roughly 20 contract attorneys.
The solution
The team used EverlawAI Assistant Coding Suggestions, a large-language-model tool that codes documents against natural-language instructions, spending about 15 hours optimizing prompts before running the review.
The results, in context
Coding Suggestions coded more than 126,000 documents in under 24 hours at accuracy rates of 90% or higher, reducing document-review time by roughly 50-67% (about two-thirds) and saving approximately one month of attorney review time. The matter was staffed with five team members rather than about 20 contract attorneys.
