Leveraging GenAI to Optimize eDiscovery & Investigations
Reduce Costs. Strengthen Insight. Accelerate Review.
eDiscovery and investigations demand more from legal teams every year: larger datasets, tighter deadlines, and increasing pressure to control costs without sacrificing accuracy. GenAI is the solution—but only when backed by strategy and expertise. At TransPerfect Legal, we blend over 30 years of legal experience with cutting-edge AI engineering to create custom workflows that meet the demands of modern eDiscovery.
Unlock, Reduce, and Streamline Document Review and Investigations with GenAI
Legal teams have long accepted eDiscovery as the slowest, most expensive part of litigation and investigations. It consumes budget. It delays decision-making. It’s prone to inconsistency.
But as data volumes grow and timelines shrink, legal teams need more than speed: they need defensible accuracy and repeatable results they can verify and rely on. AI tools are not enough to meet these demands on their own.
Our team delivers GenAI-enhanced workflows built for the full scope of legal matters—combining experienced guidance with cutting-edge technology to deliver faster insights, sharper results, and defensibility you can trust.
A GenAI-Enabled Workflow Means
Early answers to critical case questions
→
Q&A-driven analysis allows teams to interrogate their data directly, helping investigators and counsel identify relevant facts before formal review is complete.
Immediate orientation to key facts and timelines
→
Automated summaries and chronologies provide an instant overview of the record, enabling teams to understand what happened, when, and why, without reading every document.
Consistent decision-making across large and complex datasets
→
Uniform application of review logic reduces variability, minimizes human error, and supports consistent, defensible outcomes.
Streamlined privilege assessment and logging
→
Automated identification and organization of privileged material accelerates review while supporting accurate, auditable privilege logs.
Reliable handling of sensitive information
→
PII identification, extraction, and redaction help reduce privacy risk and support regulatory and contractual obligations.
Uninterrupted progress on multilingual matters
→
Integrated multilingual review workflows prevent language barriers from slowing analysis or delaying production.
Integrating GenAI into eDiscovery and investigation workflows strengthens accuracy, surfaces insights earlier, and reduces the time spent on manual review.
GenAI in Action: Streamlined Early Case Intelligence (ECI)
A top 5 global Am Law firm engaged TransPerfect Legal to support a time-sensitive M&A due diligence matter involving nearly 2 million documents across 15 custodians. With just 1 week to assess deal readiness, the legal team needed fast, reliable insight into whether any documents posed a risk to the transaction.
Late in the process, the scope expanded. 8 additional mobile device collections were approved on a Friday evening, and actionable insight was required by Sunday. The compressed timeline left no margin for error.
To meet these demands, our team deployed a structured Early Case Intelligence (ECI) workflow designed to surface deal-critical information early without sacrificing accuracy or defensibility. The dataset was first reduced through threading, deduplication, and data minimization techniques. GenAI-driven prioritization was then applied, guided by key documents and refined through expert oversight to ensure results aligned with the transaction's legal and factual context.
Project Outcomes
-
Nearly 2 million documents reduced to a focused review set of ~5,500 key documents
-
Deal-critical insight delivered within 1 week, ahead of schedule
-
Late-stage mobile data collected, processed, and analyzed in under 48 hours
-
No deal blockers identified, enabling the transaction to move forward with confidence
By combining GenAI-driven analysis with experienced consultants and a proven ECI strategy, TransPerfect Legal helped the legal team move faster, gain clarity earlier, and make informed decisions when timing mattered most.
