Premier Legal Technologies Uses Reveal AI to Find Thousands of Docs Hidden from Human Review

Up against deadline, world-class service provider and preferred Reveal partner, uncovers 2,800 files in three terabyte data dump.

The Problem: Racing Against the Clock with a Mountain of Data

A prominent Am Law 100 firm retained Premier Legal Technologies to review more than 600,000 – three terabytes of data – in four weeks.

With that much data and a compressed timeline, the risks were significant: missing critical documents, exceeding budget or compromising the defensibility of the review. This wasn’t just about speed and volume, it required precision, accountability, and results that could withstand legal and regulatory scrutiny.

Premier had to deliver a complete review without compromising quality, all while demonstrating value in a space where traditional document review methods often fall short. Premier knew they had to take a different approach to succeed.

Key Challenges

• Massive Volume: 3TB of unstructured legal data

• Tight Timeline: Just 4-6 weeks to complete full review

The Solution: Human Expertise Supercharged by Reveal’s AI

Premier Legal Technologies first took a more linear approach to the 600,000 documents, deploying a fleet of 110 reviewers. But in parallel, they activated Reveal’s predictive AI, letting the technology run in the background during the initial review. Once the first pass was complete, Reveal flagged an additional 20,000 documents that had been previously tagged as non-responsive but scored 98% or higher as likely responsive.

Instead of discarding those results, Premier conducted a targeted second-tier review using Reveal’s scoring logic and AI prioritization. That effort uncovered ~2,800 additional responsive documents that the team had missed the first time around.

This AI-human synergy didn’t just improve efficiency; it safeguarded the integrity of the review. Reveal effectively served as a continuous quality control layer, surfacing hidden signals and enabling the team to pivot swiftly as new patterns and themes emerged. The result was a more defensible, accurate, and agile review process, proving that pairing human judgement with advanced AI can redefine what’s possible in legal investigations.  

The Results: AI-Driven Review Unearths Hidden Responsive Data

Premier delivered exceptional results:

• Responsiveness Increase: 2,800 additional responsive docs found, a 13-15% boost from Reveal’s AI insights.

• Saving Time: Completed review within the strict 4–6-week deadline.

• Cutting Costs: Reduced-second pass review team.  

• Optimizing Resources: Reduced risk by combining human judgment with AI precision.

Conclusion: Raising the Review Bar with Reveal

Premier Legal Technologies showed what happens when powerful AI meets experienced litigation support. With Reveal’s predictive models, precision scoring, and natural language search tools in play, they didn’t just complete the job — they raised the review bar. By surfacing 2,800 additional responsive documents, Premier proved that strategic use of AI doesn’t just save time, it finds what others miss.
