Chicago Law Firm Automates Document Review with Unique Predictive Coding Technology

SAN FRANCISCO, FEBRUARY 25, 2010 – Recommind, the leader in search-powered information risk management (IRM) software, announced today that Chicago litigation boutique Eimer Stahl Klevorn & Solberg LLP has selected the Axcelerate eDiscovery™ platform to dramatically reduce its eDiscovery costs and timelines while gaining critical early case assessment (ECA) insight from the very start of a proceeding. Axcelerate eDiscovery will provide Eimer Stahl with revolutionary Predictive Coding technology for automated document review, as well as advanced features for processing, culling, filtering, analysis and production.

As part of its decision-making process, Eimer Stahl undertook an industry-wide review of eDiscovery solutions, including an evaluation of Axcelerate eDiscovery on a live case. The overwhelming improvements in the speed, accuracy, consistency and automation of the review process delivered by Axcelerate eDiscovery made it the obvious choice as the firm’s next-generation eDiscovery system, said Eimer Stahl founding partner Nathan Eimer.

“As litigation specialists, we require eDiscovery technology that will give us, and our clients, a clear competitive advantage,” said Nathan Eimer. “We looked at everything on the market, and nothing could compete with Axcelerate eDiscovery’s Predictive Coding. It didn’t take long for us to realize that we had a tremendous opportunity to upgrade our eDiscovery practice by standardizing on the Axcelerate eDiscovery platform.”

Using its unique Predictive Coding technology, Axcelerate eDiscovery automatically prioritizes and codes documents based on their responsiveness, privilege and issue relation. This slashes the amount of time required to prioritize ESI (electronically stored information) and conduct document review and analysis, while simultaneously increasing review accuracy and consistency. And with its SmartReview™ functionality built on Recommind’s industry-leading concept search technology, the system also automatically identifies key documents, people, phrases and concepts of interest from the outset of the document review process, giving Eimer Stahl attorneys deep insight into a document collection prior to review. As a result, Axcelerate eDiscovery dramatically improves the speed and accuracy of document review and reduces the overall cost of eDiscovery.

“Eimer Stahl proves that firms of all sizes, regardless of practice focus, can use Recommind’s automated eDiscovery technology to gain a critical edge in litigation,” said Robert Tennant, CEO, Recommind. “Corporations and law firms looking for technology that will change the economics of eDiscovery invariably turn to Recommind. And with both a hosted and on-premise version of Axcelerate eDiscovery, Recommind is ensuring that organizations can use their technology of choice however they want, enabling matters to be handled on time and on budget no matter the circumstances.”
