Oil & Gas Antitrust Litigation
The Project
One of the world’s largest oil and gas producers, and its law firm, teamed with LawyerLink to complete discovery in its defense against a large class action lawsuit brought by multiple vendors of the corporation.
Challenges Met
- The documents required subjective coding for seven substantive issues.
- The team adapted quickly when, midway through the project, the client identified additional custodians and added their electronic data to the database, increasing the document total by 37%.
- Substantial portions of the data was unfiltered, requiring mid-project implementation of modified review processes to maintain maximum efficiency.
High Performance Delivered
- LawyerLink completed this project on time and 24% under budget, despite the substantial mid-review document increase.
- The blended skill set of the 15-attorney team and the defined project management model reduced the corporation’s review costs by an estimated 66%.
- The team leader acted as client liaison—a single point of contact relieving the client of technical, personnel and logistical responsibilities.
