UK-headquartered telecommunications giant Vodafone has selected US-founded eDiscovery vendor Everlaw to help it drive workflows and coordinate an efficient response across litigation, investigations and compliance.
“As legal teams continue to evolve from a traditional role as the company’s legal risk manager, we are driving greater organisational impacts,” said David Dunn, head of litigation at Vodafone. “Everlaw’s cloud platform will help us collaborate across our organisation to ensure compliance, control of corporate data and efficiency of our legal efforts.”
Vodafone says that it chose Everlaw because it recognised that to drive effective workflows across litigation, investigations and compliance, they needed a scalable technology platform. It is hoped that by using Everlaw, Vodafone will be able to facilitate repeatable risk mitigating workflows, and reduce administration and process work to a minimum.
Vodafone will have access to Everlaw’s artificial intelligence software such as clustering and predictive coding. As the amount of discoverable data increases with the expanding digital universe, Vodafone says that it can tap into Everlaw’s cloud-native platform to quickly ingest data across millions of documents, review responsive documentation in a centralised location, analyse data with AI, then distribute the findings as needed for collaboration with outside counsel or across the company.
