The challenge

Reed Smith needed to manage high-volume document review across litigation, investigations, and regulatory matters while controlling costs and maintaining defensibility under tight timelines. The firm wanted to reduce document populations early and enable leaner review teams.

The solution

Reed Smith embedded Relativity aiR for Review in RelativityOne into disputes, investigations, and DSAR workflows. On a large litigation of roughly 5.6 million documents produced, the team analyzed approximately 1 million documents with aiR for Review.

aiR has been a game changer for our team, saving us approximately 500,000 documents from manual review, an estimated 11,300 review hours, and more than $2.3 million in costs. Just as importantly, it accelerated our witness preparation timeline, giving our team and clients more time to focus on case strategy rather than document review.
