Managed Document Review

Litigation, investigations, M&A, corruption, and compliance issues usually involve large data volumes, tight timelines, and demands for quality, defensible results. Uncovering important documents and discovering facts quickly requires the strategic use of the latest analytics and tools. However, not all law firms and organizations have the capabilities to tackle large data sets.

How We Work
Speed of review

Speed

We have designated Second Request teams, deep experience with the relevant regulatory bodies and a vetted Second Request playbook that incorporates our leading-edge technology and workflows. And we marry this experience with the flexibility and ingenuity necessary to handle the unique characteristics of each client’s project. FTI’s experience and technology help ensure timely and accurate productions to antitrust regulators every time.

Review quality

Quality

You shouldn’t have to sacrifice quality for cost. Low hourly rates may come with hidden costs and impact defensible outcomes. How the process is managed is equally important as the speed and accuracy of review. Hourly rates and line item pricing decoupled from an efficiently managed review process can ultimately result in higher overall costs and potentially impact review quality. With decades of experience in legal review we provide clients optimal outcomes without sacrificing quality or budget.

Document review efficiency

Efficiency

Matters rarely start and end in the same spot. Some of the greatest efficiency can be gained with workflows designed for a specific case type, or that can be adapted as priorities and requirements change.

Proactive review management ensures your project stays on schedule and budget.
