Frequently Asked Questions About Document Review

What is document review in legal proceedings?

Document review is the process of examining documents and electronically stored information to identify materials relevant to a legal matter. In modern litigation, document review occurs primarily during the discovery phase and focuses on emails, attachments, files, and other electronic data. It is one of the earliest stages of litigation and takes place well before depositions or trial preparation.

What is managed document review, and why do law firms use it?

Managed document review is a fully supported review model where the provider oversees both personnel and outcomes. In a managed review, project managers direct workflow, handle staffing adjustments, ensure quality control, and provide reporting. Law firms use managed document review to reduce operational burden, improve consistency, and maintain predictable outcomes during complex or high-volume matters.

How does document review outsourcing work?

Document review outsourcing allows law firms or legal departments to shift some or all review work to an external provider. Depending on the client’s needs, outsourcing can involve staffing review professionals only, or a fully managed solution that includes project management, quality control, reporting, and coordination with technology partners. This flexible model lets firms maintain control where they want while offloading time-intensive work.

How is document review staffing different from general legal staffing?

Document review staffing is higher volume, faster paced, and more time-sensitive than general legal staffing. Document review teams often need to be assembled within days and may consist of dozens of reviewers. Assignments are typically temporary with defined start and end dates. In contrast, general legal staffing may involve longer timelines, smaller teams, and direct hire or interim placements with a more extended recruitment process.

What are document review best practices law firms should follow?

Effective document review starts with clear scope definitions, consistent review guidelines, and strong quality control processes. Best practices also include structured training, ongoing reporting, defined escalation paths, and experienced project management to monitor productivity and accuracy throughout the review lifecycle.

When should a law firm outsource document review?

Law firms typically outsource document review when they face high document volumes, tight deadlines, or litigation surges. Outsourcing is especially valuable when internal teams lack capacity or when efficiency and speed are critical. It enables attorneys to stay focused on strategy and advocacy while experienced review teams handle large-scale discovery tasks.

Who supervises document review professionals?

Document review professionals are supervised by dedicated project managers and document review leadership. When a provider supplies project management, the provider directs reviewer workflows, quality standards, and deliverables. This differs from traditional staffing models, where the client typically supervises daily work. Managed document review arrangements are structured contractually to reflect this oversight and accountability.
