How we helped LegalTech company drive a $400,000 recovery for a law firm
About the project
Navigating eDiscovery (known as Minerva26 since 2025) was increasingly complex, with thousands of new court decisions every year. Law firms need fast, reliable access to relevant case law without wasting hours on research.
eDiscovery Assistant partnered with us to redesign its platform, creating an intuitive, issue-focused interface that streamlines workflows, surfaces critical precedents, and keeps legal teams informed of updates, ultimately improving efficiency and supporting better litigation outcomes.
The solution simplifies complex legal workflows and keeps users informed of new developments through automatic notifications.
75%
reduction in research time with powerful legal insights accessible in just three clicks, transforming eDiscovery workflows.
2min
to find relevant cases versus 45+ minutes with traditional tools, delivering unprecedented efficiency for litigation teams.
Optimized navigation for faster legal decision-making
We created a dashboard that organizes all 94 eDiscovery issues with a 2-tier menu and advanced filters: jurisdiction, date range, judge, and court level. Saved cases and weekly alerts are accessible in one place, enabling attorneys to stay current without leaving the platform.
Standardized workflows to save time and reduce errors
Attorneys often spend up to 40% of their time recreating standard documents. We integrated pre-built templates for discovery requests, responses, and motions directly with the case database. This unified approach reduces preparation time, ensures compliance with jurisdiction-specific rules, and allows teams to focus on high-value work.

Structured information architecture to eliminate chaos
Fragmented legal data creates inefficiency. Our proprietary tagging system organizes 33,000+ cases across 360+ issue tags, centralizing rules from all 94 federal district courts and including a 500+ term glossary. Personalized bookmarks and AI-generated summaries make information actionable, turning overwhelming data into a searchable knowledge base that supports confident, timely decision-making.
