Epiq creates consulting services for Epiq AI Discovery Assistant to expedite legal investigations

Epiq is introducing AI and Consulting Services for Investigations to identify key data to inform legal strategy, expedite internal investigations, determine possible disclosure obligations, and comply with relevant requirements using AI. 

Available through the Epiq Service Cloud, corporate legal teams and law firms can work with the Epiq consulting team of data scientists and experienced lawyers to deploy Epiq AI Discovery Assistant to identify key documents, themes, and patterns during an investigation, according to the company. With this information, legal teams can quickly resolve internal claims and allegations, assess disclosure obligations, and mitigate corporate risk. 

Epiq generates increased efficiencies throughout the entire investigation and litigation process, including factual written analysis for depositions, motion practice, and witness and trial preparation, such as:

• Timelines to catalogue factual issues.
• Fact sheets for individual witnesses or custodians.
• Summarisation of documents that support key themes and issues.
• Deposition and witness outlines, including key documents and issues.

“This unmatched combination of advanced AI capabilities plus expert oversight gets precise answers to questions quickly so lawyers can make strategic decisions affecting case strategy, including disclosures to government authorities,” said Erin Toomey, vice president and leader of Epiq’s Global Investigations Practice Group. “By generating connections and insights that would otherwise be available only after an exhaustive document review and analysis, corporate legal teams and law firms are able to reduce significant effort and cost.”

This service is available through the Epiq Service Cloud, a unified legal technology and services platform that includes AI-driven capabilities to simplify complex legal workflows.

Epiq Access, the front door to the Epiq Service Cloud, provides a digital way to get up-to-date information and reports, start and check on work tasks, submit tech support requests, and access systems via single sign-on that integrates with existing authentication processes, the company said.

“Epiq clients can meet government discovery requirements by working with a trusted and knowledgeable team that has recent and extensive experience with global regulators and a proven understanding of collection, processing, analysis, and review guidelines,” said Edward Burke, managing director at Epiq. “Epiq Investigations AI and Consulting Services enables legal teams to focus on strategic work by providing defensible and effective AI that is supported by our skilled and experienced consulting teams.”
