1. Large Japanese Client:
Working closely with an AMLAW 100 firm, The Gnoêsis Group provided forty highly qualified document reviewers for a very large document review involving documents in both Japanese and English. Twenty of the forty reviewers were either Japanese natives or fluent in Japanese. This thirteen-week project involved nearly eight million pages and resulted in more than $2 million in savings for the client. The project was notable in another respect. The review was done entirely remotely with reviewers working from their homes. This innovative approach permitted the use of lower cost contract lawyers for the English portion of the review, based primarily in Ohio. The result was a cost structure that was competitive with the lowest cost, offshore Indian providers. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 2. Large Columbus Client: The Gnoêsis Group provided twenty-four contract lawyers for a very time-sensitive document review that was initially forecast to take two full weeks. Instead, the Gnoêsis reviewers were able to complete the project in seven days and save the client over $100,000, based on rates that would have been charged by junior litigation associates at the client's law firm. The quality of the reviewers was so good that a large portion of what were deemed critical documents, originally reserved for review by the firm's associates, were transferred to the Gnoêsis contractors for review. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 3. Large Ohio Client: The Gnoêsis Group initially provided twenty reviewers for a long-term document review project for a very large Ohio-based client. The contract legal professionals are conducting this electronic review both on-site and remotely and are managed by a Gnoêsis project manager who directly supervises the team and provides detailed and timely metrics to the in-house attorney who is responsible for the project. Members of the in-house legal team have repeatedly expressed their great satisfaction with the quality of the reviewers, the thoroughness of the quality and productivity reports that are provided by Gnoêsis and the overall professional manner of the review. Utilization of Gnoêsis innovative project management has freed in-house counsel to focus on more strategic issues and they have come to rely upon Gnoêsis to ensure that the project is on time and on budget. The cost savings for this client have amounted to almost $4 million dollars in one year, even when compared to the relatively lower cost of Ohio law firm associates. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 4. Florida Document Review for Large Ohio-based Client: The Gnoêsis Group located several highly experienced contract litigators for an intensive, time-sensitive and high level document review in Tallahassee, Florida. In addition, Gnoêsis was asked to provide space and computers. The review, conducted under the supervision of the client's outside counsel, came in under budget and was completed ahead of schedule. In the words of the corporate client, we assembled the "dream team". - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 5. On-Site Review at Columbus Law Firm: The Gnoêsis Group provided 10 reviewers for an on-site review at the local office of an international law firm. The team, although assembled on short notice, was praised by the lawyers and supervisory personnel at the law firm for their speed, accuracy and collegiality. This review also came in under budget and well within the time constraints faced by the legal team. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 6. Contract Review: The Gnoêsis Group provided several subject matter experts to a Fortune 50 client to assist in a major review of certain contracts. These attorneys, whom each had significant experience in commercial matters, worked on-site at the corporate client preparing for a major corporate transaction. They received high praise from the client for their thoroughness, professionalism and fine work. The use of contract attorneys saved the client over $50,000. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 7. Large-Scale Remote Access Review: The Gnoêsis Group provided sixty contract lawyers for a large, East Coast law firm. The client called at 10:00 p.m. on Thanksgiving eve asking us to assemble a team for a project set to begin on Friday morning, the day after Thanksgiving. The partner had a Tuesday deadline, requiring the review to be completed by the end of business on the following Monday. Gnoêsis assembled a document review team from all over the United States. All sixty of these reviewers were licensed attorneys with document review experience and many had experience on the review tool being used by the client. Within twenty-four hours, we had a team ready to review and assigned to three training sessions. Our reviewers worked around the clock and met the deadline. Both our client and our technology partner were impressed with the quality of our review team, as well as with our quick response, execution, and follow-through, particularly on a holiday weekend.  |
