Federal courts demand proportional discovery, but measuring proportionality is difficult. AI helps litigators analyze and argue proportionality issues with data-driven precision.
These are the operational bottlenecks we hear from law firms leaders every week. If any of these hit close to home, you are not alone.
A single commercial contract takes an average of 3.2 hours for manual review. Multiply that across hundreds of agreements per quarter and the bottleneck becomes the firm's biggest constraint.
E-discovery for a mid-size litigation matter can cost $20,000 to $100,000 or more. Most of that spend goes to reviewers reading irrelevant documents to find the ones that matter.
Partners write down 10-15% of billed time because entries are vague, duplicated, or misallocated. Manual time tracking rewards poor recordkeeping over actual work performed.
Associates spend 20-30% of their time on research tasks, searching through case law, statutes, and secondary sources. Much of that time is spent on initial orientation rather than analysis.
Firms advising clients across industries and jurisdictions must monitor changes in regulations, filing deadlines, and enforcement actions constantly to avoid malpractice exposure.
