San Francisco, CA --- July 8, 2008 --- San Francisco Legal now offers clients an innovative solution that significantly reduces processing costs by streamlining electronic mail and document discovery. The enterprise-class Clearwell E-Discovery Platform® automates the e-discovery process to enable legal, compliance, information security, forensics and IT teams to:
- Accelerate early case assessments from weeks to hours
- Lower processing cost and time by up to 80 percent
- Reduce review workload by up to 90 percent

"We are thrilled to have become Clearwell's first San Francisco based partner. With rapidly increasing data volumes, early case assessment and data culling are critical steps to reducing processing and review costs. Clearwell enables us to provide our clients with powerful capabilities to handle early case analysis, search and cull down prior to full-scale review," said Christian Lawrence, managing partner of San Francisco Legal. "For example, a population of 500,000 emails and documents can be culled down using Clearwell to as little as 15,000. With 97 percent less data to review, a client can save $80,000 in processing costs and significantly reduce review time."
Intuitive web-based interface
The Clearwell E-Discovery Platform is designed to seamlessly integrate
with clients' current e-discovery processes. After San Francisco
Legal has loaded the emails, attachments and documents provided by
the client, the Clearwell E-Discovery Platform indexes and analyzes
the data to understand the context of the case across the entire
data set. The resulting data provides in-house counsel, attorneys
and paralegals visibility across more than 400 document types through
an easy-to-use, web-based interface that requires no formal training.
Lowers review costs
The Clearwell E-Discovery Platform has numerous features to allow for
quick assessment and culling of data, such as filtering by email
sender domain. Clearwell's relevance rank feature eliminates
time-consuming redundant review of the same content by multiple people.
By reviewing only relevant data, clients significantly reduce e-discovery
processing and review costs.
Accurately respond to regulatory inquiries
Email filtering capabilities and individual-to-individual, group-to-group,
and email flow directional analysis capabilities allow legal teams
to quickly turn over only the information requested by regulators.
Rapidly find the smoking gun
By displaying chronological discussion threads, legal teams can immediately
identify all participants and see who sent what to whom, and when.
The Clearwell E-Discovery Platform's hit-highlighting capabilities
quickly finds keywords in long documents and identifies all peripheral
players, thus reducing classification errors and avoiding last minute
surprises for counsel.
