Scalable Managed Review Services for Complicated Legal Cases
One of the most resource-consuming processes in litigation, investigations, and compliance audits is managing the volume of electronically stored documents. Managed Review Services of JurisIQ offers law firms and corporations a team of experienced reviewers, standard procedures, and tech-based workflow to make the overall process of reviewing documents more efficient and consistent.
From simple document review and identification of privilege material to redaction of confidential information and preparing documents for production, our review team fits seamlessly into your eDiscovery process.
What are Managed Review Services?
Managed Review Services are customized legal support services which help in reviewing, classifying, and analyzing large document sets during any litigation, investigations, compliance checks, regulations, merger and acquisitions, etc. Instead of depending only on the in-house legal departments, organizations collaborate with specialized managed review service providers which offer professional legal reviewers, well-defined workflows, and quality assurance processes which will help in the management of the high-volume document review projects.
In today’s world, due to the growing volume of Electronically Stored Information (ESI), legal departments have to review emails, agreements, instant messages, powerpoint presentations, spreadsheets, databases, cloud documents, and many more electronic documents within stipulated time periods of court cases. Manually reviewing all the documents is no longer an option. Hence, with the use of managed review services, organizations can manage the growing volume of ESI in a streamlined way.
In the overall lifecycle of the eDiscovery process, one of the most important steps is the managed review process. After the collection, preservation, processing, and organization of data, every document needs to be assessed to determine whether it is relevant to the issue, find out privileged communication, disclose any confidential materials, and ensure that only the right documents will make it to production phase.
Modern Managed Reviews through eDiscovery also use technology to increase the efficiency of the review process. Technology Assisted Review (TAR), Predictive Coding, Email Threading, Duplicate Detection, and AI-assisted review processes assisted in prioritizing the documents likely to be relevant.

Document Review Services
Precise document review is the basis of a successful eDiscovery project. JurisIQ’s Document Review Services are aimed at efficient review of vast amounts of ESI while ensuring consistency, accuracy, and defensibility. First level review includes assessment of responsiveness, confidentiality, and issue identification. Second level review is done by more experienced reviewers for complex matters.
Privilege Review Services
Privileged communications need protection. JurisIQ’s reviewers look into communications, legal memos, and contractual agreements to establish if such documents qualify for attorney-client privilege. We also provide assistance with preparing privilege logs, logging information about documents not disclosed while maintaining confidentiality.
