The challenge
Large document productions consumed attorney time that could be spent on strategy and clients.
The solution
Remote paralegals handled first-level review in the firm's review platform, built chronologies and prepared research memos under attorney supervision. A legal assistant managed calendaring and file organisation.
Supervision
Every deliverable was reviewed by the responsible attorney. Paralegals did not provide legal advice.
Security
Work happened inside the firm's document management and review platforms with access controls.
Lessons
Clear review protocols and examples made quality consistent from the start.
