“We successfully deployed tech and AI on the Post Office case but had the LDA team existed with its enhanced capabilities we'd have got to the key evidence even more quickly than we did. The combination of the legal and technical expertise in one team, at Freeths, would have significantly streamlined the exercise and made it even more difficult for Post Office to bury key documents within massive volumes of data. We won the court case, but the enhanced cutting-edge technology and AI would have accelerated the review process and given us early strategic insight into the data, with a reduction in the lawyer time required to review the evidence.”

We use AI and advanced analytics to streamline document-heavy processes, uncover key evidence early, and ensure reasonable, proportionate and compliant disclosure.
Fast, defensible, evidence-led investigations.
We integrate legal expertise, digital forensics, and analytics to test allegations quickly, identify key facts, and guide strategic decision-making.
Recent work
We were recently engaged on a matter requiring the review of over 20,000 documents within an exceptionally tight two-week timeframe. Recognising the scale and urgency of the task, our team collaborated closely with subject matter experts to design a targeted, high-quality review strategy.
Through a focused and iterative approach, we developed and refined a tailored prompt - achieving optimal accuracy in just three iterations. This ensured that all relevant issues were comprehensively captured and addressed.
Leveraging this optimised prompt, we deployed an AI-assisted review process that transformed delivery timelines. Within just three hours, we successfully identified all relevant documents dramatically accelerating what would traditionally have been a time-intensive exercise.
Outcome:
Significant reduction in review time from weeks to hours
High confidence in identifying all relevant materials
Efficient use of expert input to maximise AI performance
This matter demonstrates our ability to combine legal expertise with advanced technology to deliver faster, smarter, and more reliable outcomes for our clients.
