When Construction Meets Complexity: Streamlining Review in a High-Stakes British Columbia Legal Battle

Written by TrustArray | Jul 29, 2025 6:13:44 PM

The Challenge:

A British Columbia construction company faced high-stakes litigation with an initial dataset of 507,000 documents. The discovery process was complicated by poor OCR quality, missing metadata, lack of native files, and a high volume that made linear review impractical. Their in-house eDiscovery tool lacked advanced analytics, and they needed a partner who could reduce costs, meet tight deadlines, and maintain accuracy.

AT A GLANCE

Client: Construction company in British Columbia

Case: High-stakes construction litigation

Document Volume: 507,000

Challenges: Large dataset, poor OCR, missing metadata, no native files, in-house tool limitations

Results: Client avoided reviewing 156,000 documents, saving 2,600 hours and approximately $300,000

The Solution:

Array’s Canadian eDiscovery team applied their expertise in managing large, complex data projects to streamline the discovery process:

 

  • Leveraged RelativityOne and advanced analytics to efficiently process and organize data
  • Applied Active Learning (AI-assisted review) to quickly identify relevant documents
  • Conducted a detailed privilege review on 14,000 documents
  • Provided end-to-end services, including collection, processing, analysis, Relativity hosting, review, and production

The Results:

  • Document count reduced from 507,000 to 210,000 documents produced
  • 156,000 Active Learning documents skipped, saving 26,000 hours (~$300,000)
  • 12,000 additional documents didn’t require review, saving 200 hours (~$25,000)
