We help you decide faster, protect what matters, and evolve strategically.
Our team comprises technologists, project managers and legal process experts with deep experience in managing high volume documents and data, surfacing the insights that you need to make informed decisions faster and in a compliant, defensible and commercially strategic way.
Working hand in glove with our lawyers and consultants, we can assist at each stage of litigation, investigations, regulatory responses, Royal Commissions, compliance audits, and transactions.
 

Discovery and Data Intelligence

Why a strategic, technology-driven approach has never mattered more

Organisations now generate information in greater volumes and across a greater number of sources than ever before. The proliferation of AI-generated content has added a new verification challenge. Manual approaches are no longer viable at this scale.

We combine market-leading technology with purpose-built proprietary tools to dramatically increase speed to identifying relevant data and reduce the volume of documents requiring human review, without compromising quality or defensibility. Our approach is strategic and engagement-specific: we know that an investigation demands a fundamentally different approach to a Royal Commission, litigation or major transaction.

MinterEllison is ISO 27001 certified, one of very few law firms globally to hold this accreditation, giving clients confidence that their most sensitive data is protected to the highest cybersecurity standards.

Our AI assisted review capability, Lantern

In addition to market leading products and tools, we've built our own products which are tailored to your specific case requirements, including Cortex and Lantern.   

Lantern excels in matters where document volumes are high, timelines are tight, and critical insights cannot be found through keywords alone. 

Lantern starts delivering results immediately, helping teams focus where it adds the most value, informing case strategy and providing cost transparency, without having to wait for reviewers.

Prioritising legal resources and accelerating progress

Using Lantern, we streamlined the first-level review of 16,800 documents for discovery. This allowed the legal team to focus on second-level review, prioritising complex privilege and confidentiality claims in the dispute. 

  • Speed: 240 hours of review completed in 2 weeks, including human validation of AI results.
  • Opportunity: Lantern created the space for the legal team to consider the complex privilege and confidentiality claims between the parties.
  • Cost: Significant cost saved compared to traditional means.

Regulatory responses and mitigating disclosure risks

The ACCC issued a 28-day notice compelling the production of a broad scope of material. Using Lantern, we reviewed 75,700 documents in 2 weeks to isolate high-risk and privileged content.

  • Speed: 1,261 hours of review completed in 2 weeks, including human validation of AI results.
  • Opportunity: Ability to reduce risk of inadvertent disclosure under strict timeframes.
  • Cost: Significant cost saved compared to traditional means.
