Leading Law Firms Report Millions in Savings and Dramatically Faster Results Across Active Matters

SEATTLE: Lighthouse, a global leader in eDiscovery and information governance, today released results from top-tier law firms confirming that LighthouseIQ is delivering measurable cost savings, dramatically faster time to insight, and greater control over the discovery process-replacing traditional, linear document review with AI-driven intelligence from day one.

Proven Cost Savings at Scale

In one recent matter, LighthouseIQ analyzed more than 20 million documents in a matter of weeks, resulting in $7.7 million in estimated savings by avoiding a large-scale review effort. Bryan Marra, Senior Attorney at Arnold & Porter, said IQ Case Strategy helped his team avoid a traditional review model on the matter.

“We could have done this the old-fashioned way, hired an army of contract attorneys or used firm attorneys to sift through millions of documents, possibly used search terms to narrow the results, and then reviewed what remained,” said Marra. “It would have taken a long time. Instead, we used IQ Case Strategy. We avoided having to do a massive document review effort, which would have cost the client a lot of money, and were able to short-circuit that process and do things in a more efficient, focused way.”

40x Faster Time to Insight

Cost savings tell only part of the story. LighthouseIQ is fundamentally compressing the timeline from data collection to actionable case intelligence.

In a recent client benchmark comparing workflows on the same dataset, LighthouseIQ surfaced the same key documents in just three hours. The prior continuous active learning review took three weeks to identify these documents, representing a 40x faster time to insight.

“LighthouseIQ lets our team focus on the substance of the case instead of spending time reading through hundreds of thousands of documents,” said Karl Gunderson, Partner at Kirkland & Ellis. “It allows us to concentrate on the significant facts rather than trying to locate them within a vast universe of information.”

Seamless Integration, Full Team Control

For legal teams managing high-stakes matters, cost and speed are only part of the equation. Maintaining control over how and when intelligence enters the workflow is equally critical. The results build on Lighthouse’s January launch of LighthouseIQ, the company’s legal intelligence platform designed to provide insights the moment they are needed and classify data with defensibility at unlimited scale to save customers money, increase speed, and enjoy better outcomes.

“Historically, insight followed review because that’s where the data became searchable, organized, and interpretable by humans at scale,” said Iram Arras, Head of Product and Engineering at Lighthouse. “Using AI, LighthouseIQ changes that sequence. Customers are applying it in active matters and realizing measurable value in real time.”

“At Baker Botts, we have been looking for an AI platform that extracts intelligent data from our clients’ matters and integrates seamlessly into Relativity for our teams,” said Eric Wieder, eDiscovery Counsel at Baker Botts. “In the past, we collected the data and reviewed it linearly. LighthouseIQ gives us more control over when and how we review data. We can break the process into parts and prioritize what matters most to the benefit of the case.”

“These results reflect what we’re hearing across our customer base: LighthouseIQ is changing the economics and the pace of discovery,” said Ron Markezich, Chief Executive Officer at Lighthouse. “Legal teams are gaining insight earlier, reaching conclusions faster, and moving forward with greater confidence on every matter. That’s the outcome we built this platform to deliver.”

Due to strong demand following the January launch, Lighthouse is extending its risk-free trial of IQ Answers, a core LighthouseIQ capability that surfaces fact-based answers across large data sets in real time. Legal teams can deploy IQ Answers on active matters and see measurable impact on speed, precision, and review volume within days-with no upfront commitment.
