Key Engagements:
- Managed FCPA investigation for a multinational organization. The project required the oversight of more than 75 contract attorneys reviewing documents in English, Spanish, and Russian. Leveraged text analytics across the full lifecycle of the project to identify foreign languages, categorize documents for review, and thread email communication. Managed migration of documents from the investigative team’s workspace to separate outside counsel workspace.
- Provided consulting and project management services for a government contractor in a significant DOJ investigation. Oversaw collection of multiple data sources from more than 65 custodians. Utilized a secondary deduplication process to remove duplicate emails. Developed predictive coding workflow to identify documents for quality control review and secondary screen for key documents.
- Organized the review of a collection universe exceeding one petabyte of data. The AlixPartners team reduced the potential review universe to 2.5 TB and 20 million documents.
