Case Study: Fortune 500 construction company cuts matter cost 70% by bringing ediscovery in-house with Everlaw
Key results
The challenge
A Fortune 500 construction company's legal team managed large litigation data volumes across legacy systems and relied on expensive third-party vendors for ediscovery. That dependence limited strategic control and drove up cost per matter.
The solution
The team brought ediscovery in-house on Everlaw, building repeatable internal workflows and using AI-assisted document prioritization to control data management directly and reduce reliance on outside counsel.
The results, in context
On a single matter, the team narrowed 700,000 records to 400,000 responsive documents and completed initial review of the 400,000 records in about three weeks, cutting documents sent to outside-counsel review from 400,000 to 200,000. Cost per matter fell from $260,000 to $75,000, roughly a 70% saving.
