Document review has become faster and more accurate while protecting sensitive information
Everlaw is very helpful with the different types of capabilities it offers, including batching, search terms, coding documents, and setting up the coding panel. One of the best features that Everlaw offers is the searching capability and search results, being able to search for documents. What makes the searching feature stand out for me is its accuracy. Everlaw has positively impacted my organization by making it much easier to process mass productions by batching so that reviewers can get in and review documents. I can use the MD5 hash values to search for documents that might be similar and ensure that accuracy and consistency are maintained across the board. Everlaw has saved the team time and reduced errors because when I was using Everlaw, we did not always have the budget to pay for the best reviewers, and some of them did not prioritize accuracy. Everlaw identifies a lot of the mistakes that the attorneys are making so that we can correct them before they get to the client.
