Run discovery document review on autopilot inside NetDocuments.

NetDocuments Litigation Paralegal Civil Litigation

The Problem

First-pass review of Civil Litigation discovery docs in Relativity is billed at associate rates but commoditized — it's a margin-killer the client resents paying for.

What We Build in NetDocuments

AI pre-classifies documents by responsiveness, privilege, and hot-doc signal in Relativity, leaving associates to review only the 15% that actually need judgment — review cost drops 60%. Purpose-built for teams running NetDocuments — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

Frequently asked

We work with your existing NetDocuments setup. During discovery we map the specific objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation touches — no rip-and-replace required for civil litigation teams.
