Discovery Document Review for Employment Law Attorneys with Westlaw
Run discovery document review on autopilot inside Westlaw.
The Problem
First-pass review of Labor & Employment discovery docs in Clio Manage is billed at associate rates but commoditized — it's a margin-killer the client resents paying for.
What We Build in Westlaw
AI pre-classifies documents by responsiveness, privilege, and hot-doc signal in Clio Manage, leaving associates to review only the 15% that actually need judgment — review cost drops 60%. Purpose-built for teams running Westlaw — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.
