How Law Firms Use Lighthouse for Review
Proven Workflows Tailored to Your Unique Case Needs
Lighthouse is your partner in better managed review. We collaborate closely with you to identify the best approach for each case, drawing from strong, defensible workflows built to increase accuracy and optimize client outcomes.
With Lighthouse, you can leverage innovative technology without becoming a technologist. We have a deep bench of experts to support strategy, implementation, and negotiation of technological interventions that increase review efficiency and efficacy for you and your client.
Whether your focus is commercial litigation, corporate law, intellectual property, internal investigations, government investigations, or white collar crime, we have solutions that help you quickly and accurately fulfill your case obligations and find the documents that matter so you can focus on case strategy.
Early Case Assessment
The faster your team can get the information it needs, the better the outcome. Lighthouse early case assessment (ECA) workflows combine purpose-built analytic and search technology with unique expertise to hand them required documents—right out of the gate.
Lighthouse ECA processes can be customized for various scenarios, including liability analysis, damage assessment, adversary investigation, budget forecasting, early sensitive and privileged data identification, and data reduction.
Using modern data analytics means Lighthouse ECA often delivers significantly greater cost savings and more accurate budget estimates than traditional manual document reviews.
Litigation
Including Specialized Solutions for Complex Matters
No matter what kind of litigation your firm handles, Lighthouse can help you increase the speed and quality of review to give your clients the best possible outcome. We handle document review for hundreds of cases annually, in legally complex industries such as pharmaceuticals, healthcare, technology, consumer products, and financial services, with document populations ranging from megabytes to terabytes.
Our flexible processes and technology enable us to fit the tools to the case while our expert teams bring domain-specific expertise to each engagement. No matter the scale or complexity, our review managers and linguistic, analytic, and legal experts work together to improve consistency, increase efficiency, and dramatically reduce cost for our law firm clients.
Multi-District Litigation
Including Joint Defense Group Support
We comprehensively connect matters across multi-district litigation (MDL) and other instances of multiple similar matters to minimize costly re-review of documents. After data ingestion, our analytics delivers insights around overlapping documents and potential document classifications in as little as 24 hours.
Our models can port coding directly or learn from each document decision for results that improve before your eyes. The longer we work together, the more knowledge our models and experts gain, making the relationship more valuable with every matter.
We have served as a centralized hot document search desk for Joint Defense Groups (JDGs) to ensure consistency and decrease overall review across outside counsel.
10,000 Key Documents from 16,000,000
Representing senior executives in a food-industry price-fixing case, a JDG needed a fast and flexible way to find key documents in a population of 16 million. Leading up to the trial, the Lighthouse team delivered 10,000 documents to identify exculpatory evidence in the continuing government production and created streamlined witness kits averaging a manageable 400 documents each.
Government Investigations
Help clients navigate government investigations, regulatory matters, and antitrust reviews with efficient, insightful review experts on your side. Lighthouse can assist with review related to investigations by the SEC, DOJ, FTC, state attorneys general, and congress. Regulatory agencies regularly accept our technology-forward solutions as equal or superior to manual methods.
Our support related to agency investigations include:
- Proving that zero documents exist to support government allegations
- Capturing key documents used in defense
- Preparing deposition kits for witness appearances before investigators
- Organizing records for use in negotiations and presentations to regulators
- Quickly and accurately producing relevant documents
Hart-Scott-Rodino Second Request Solution

We support law firms representing clients dealing with Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Second Requests during mergers and acquisitions (M&A) with the agility and accuracy needed for these arduous matters. Our purpose-built HSR Second Request solution has a strong track record of approval by the DOJ and FTC.
From identifying key documents for the 4(c) and 4(d) to the request itself, we support your team with targeted expertise and innovative technology to improve the chances of a successful outcome.

Fact Analysis and Narrative Development
Find the most critical facts faster with our specialized solution so you can make risk decisions earlier and spend more time on case strategy and preparation. Our linguists and information-retrieval experts typically elevate a manageable one percent or less of the data set, especially when compared to other methods, which typically return as much as 30 percent.
Our process starts with the targets you specify, broadening coverage until no more relevance is uncovered. Additionally, we use a variety of search and analytic techniques, including advanced sentiment analysis, to surface potentially risky documents.
Deposition and Witness Preparation Kits
Depositions and interviews can present significant risks and rewards so avoiding surprises is paramount. In every case, it is critical to have the correct information to prepare the deponent or witness without overwhelming them.
Whether you need supportive documents for an affirmative or defensive stance, we can help. Lighthouse uses its powerful linguistic and machine learning tools to winnow document sets down to the most valuable information. We assist in preparing kits that make an impact and help your client perform under pressure.
35 Depositions in 8 Weeks
In a recent antitrust matter, we received almost 6 million documents and supported 35 depositions over eight weeks delivering under 7,000 of the most critical and impactful documents.
