Altorney Make Their eDiscovery MARC
Altorney, a developer of unconventional legal solutions, has announced the general availability of its groundbreaking product MARC. Following a successful pilot period with corporate legal departments, MARC will now empower those managing eDiscovery, including in-house legal teams, litigation service providers, and law firms, to make faster, secure, and defensible decisions while reducing costs. Unlike other tools that work in a review platform, MARC transforms first-pass review by bringing it inside the organisation’s (or its service provider’s) environment.
Powered by GenAI, MARC automates first-pass review at scale, dramatically reducing the volume sent to traditional review platforms. In a single project for a food and beverage giant, involving more than 200,000 documents, MARC reduced review costs by 62% and hosting costs by 78%.
“MARC offers more accuracy than other transformative legal technologies, and we see its ability to easily leverage GenAI with no prompt engineering as the next iteration in eDiscovery innovation,” said Shimmy Messing, Altorney’s CEO and Co-Founder. “It is a natural step forward for anyone managing eDiscovery projects to incorporate MARC into their processes.”
MARC can provide and manage a secure, enterprise-grade LLM instance or integrate with a client’s or provider’s preferred model. With the ability to tag, cull, and explain decisions, it can process over a million documents a day and automate tasks that a first-pass reviewer can perform, including testing for responsiveness, privilege, PII, PHI, issues, and hot documents. This technology has demonstrated an 80% reduction in documents transferred to a hosted review platform and an 86% reduction in cycle time compared to traditional review.
While MARC automates much of the more tedious and time-consuming aspects of eDiscovery, it deliberately keeps humans in the loop. “GenAI doesn’t eliminate the need for human oversight—but it enables the right human to be in the right place at the right time to optimise their value,” said Steve Goldstein, Altorney’s Chief Product Officer. “With MARC, instead of manually creating and managing complex protocols, monotonously scanning for relevant documents, and painstakingly generating explanations for relevancy decisions (or not), humans can focus on QC and strategy.”
