Managed Document Review

Challenge

LDM Global was approached by a US law firm on a Thursday night for a review of 50,000+ documents, with production due in 5 days. Reserving 1 day for the law firm’s second-level review, LDM Global had 4 days to complete the review including over the weekend.

Solution

To achieve the goal, LDM Global used its technological and resource-based assets. Below are the steps we took to complete the review to ensure the deadline was hit.

Experienced Review Team

• LDM Global immediately assembled a team of 50 experienced in-house review attorneys.

Custom Workflow

• With the help of LDM Global’s internal legal technology group, we created a workflow to frontload potentially responsive not privileged documents.
• Using search term analytics, potentially non-relevant documents were deprioritized to be reviewed at the end.
• QC was started simultaneously, and responsive not privileged documents were delivered on a rolling basis giving enough time to the Law Firm for their follow-on QC.

Efficient and Timely Review

• LDM Global was able to complete the review ahead of schedule, coding for 8 issue codes, privilege, confidentiality, and Hot.
• LDM Global provided managed review and quality control ensuring that the project remained on deadline and within budget.

Cost Savings
