A free webinar exploring how generative AI can help investigators save time reviewing documents, speeding up the investigative and legal process.

Investigators are currently forced to spend inordinate amounts of time navigating data challenges instead of focusing on their core areas of expertise. Legal professionals are engaged in a constant struggle to contain escalating costs while building consistent and defensible processes for their legal teams.  

Generative AI tools, such as Relativity’s aiR for Review, have the capacity to transform investigative workflows. Gen AI tools can quickly locate hot documents and clearly explain their relevance, delivering vital information that is often found late in review or even missed.  Instead of spending days – or even weeks – establishing case knowledge, teams can work with AI tools to quickly understand their case data and accelerate the path to valuable insights.

Leveraging generative AI capabilities to analyse documents for relevance and key issues, with greater speed and quality, drives significant time and cost savings for investigators, helping legal teams to meet aggressive deadlines, cut out unnecessary noise, and focus efforts on project strategy.

Join Alistair Hack, FTI Consulting and Relativity’s Paul Gordon, Manager, Sales Engineering as they discuss how generative AI tools represent a seismic shift in how the industry operates and how legal teams and investigators are traversing through this latest chapter of AI innovation.
