Total Trials: Two resulted in mistrials and one in a complete acquittal
The Challenge
Four executives from a multinational food company were sued by the Department of Justice for alleged price fixing. A joint defense group of law firms represented the executives and sought a fast, flexible way to find key documents for the case.
The Solution
Lighthouse utilized Key Document Identification (KDI) to serve as a central search desk to lower costs for the group’s firms and ensure consistency across case teams.
Results
Lighthouse reduced the 16M documents down to 10k that were useful to counsel and saved the client an estimated $3M by supporting the joint defense group with a single team. In all, we supported the client through three trials: Two resulted in mistrials, and the third resulted in a complete acquittal.
