A process-based approach to applying AI in legal workflows
When it comes to document review and analytics, TCDI isn’t chasing the latest AI-based tool or integrating technology for the sake of innovation. Rather, we focus on creating real solutions to solve the problems our clients face every day. And we do that by pairing proven technology with disciplined processes so your matters stay efficient and defensible from the first document to the last.
At TCDI, technology only earns a place in your matter once it has proven itself. Here is how we evaluate GenAI and other emerging technologies to ensure they perform as expected under real conditions, then pair them with a human-in-the-loop approach that gives you greater confidence in every result.
At TCDI, we believe in “trust but verify.” That’s why we launched the TCDI Tech Lab in 2023. The Tech Lab acts as a dedicated environment where our experts can get hands-on experience with emerging technologies and test them against real data in actual legal workflows.
To date we have evaluated more than 70 AI-enabled products, looking at:
It is a holistic review based on evidence, not claims of capability.
By understanding where a tool excels and where it doesn’t, we design solutions that put the right technology in the right place for your matter.
For tools that pass our initial partner screenings and security audits, and those that offer innovative ways to solve problems for our clients, we perform proof-of-concept projects designed to simulate real legal workflows.
At TCDI, every active matter that uses AI began as a proof of concept in the Tech Lab where we thoroughly tested the technology to assess its strengths and uncover its limitations.
Through this process we have built partnerships that give our clients access to proven tools, allowing them to make more informed decisions about adoption and implementation risks and put forward-thinking solutions to work with confidence.
We pair our proven legal workflows with Relativity aiR and Altumatim to create custom solutions designed with you in mind.
We go beyond just bringing innovative technology into document review. By working closely with your team, we get to know your objectives and the associated risks, then design a customised solution within proven legal workflows. That might mean leveraging:
For matters where data must remain in jurisdiction, review is performed by trusted in-country partners under the guidance and strategy of our London team. When data can be transferred across borders, review is managed by our US-based attorneys, paralegals and legal professionals. Either way, TCDI maintains oversight and quality standards across the full disclosure and investigation lifecycle, from collection through to production.
AI can accelerate review, but human judgment is what makes the process defensible. That’s why every engagement that leverages AI tools also includes human validation, with experienced teams helping to confirm and refine the technology’s output.
Through our human-in-the-loop approach, our teams validate AI-assisted decisions through:
A continuous feedback loop between our project managers, technology partners and clients allows us to refine workflows and rerun data sets when needed. Lean Six Sigma processes keeps the matter efficient, and because every step is documented, it can be repeated reliably.
