<b><i>Legal Tech: Case Study</b></i> Getting Creative with the Relativity Platform: How to Save a Multibillion-Dollar Deal

BY Sharri Wilner
September 01, 2016

At Reed Smith, we represent leading companies in everything from complex litigation and cross-border transactions to crucial regulatory matters, and we've been using Relativity since 2012 to help us tackle these projects and more.

Many know the Relativity platform as a tool that assists with litigation, specifically moving data across the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM), from legal hold, collection, and processing all the way through document review and production. However, its capabilities extend far beyond that. Over the years, we've found that Relativity is flexible and customizable enough for us to do almost anything. We encourage others to start thinking outside the box of traditional document review, too.

It's easy to preach “think outside the box.” But in the world of the linear EDRM, how does one actually put this concept into motion? The answer depends on the project, but there are some basic guidelines that we've found go a long way: 1) leverage the power of text analytics technology whenever possible; 2) customize all objects (not just those associated with documents); and 3) don't be afraid to get creative.
