Why it can work

  • Redaction happens daily, so time savings compound.
  • Errors in disclosures carry real legal risk.
  • Fixed templates fail when sensitive data moves around.

Watch out

  • Accuracy demands may make lawyers distrust automated redaction.
  • Data privacy concerns may block cloud processing for clients.

The job to be done

Redact sensitive data consistently across scanned client files

When sensitive information appears in different places across scanned client disclosures and fixed templates fail, a law firm associate or paralegal needs to find and redact it accurately, so they can save hours each week and avoid errors.

Redacting sensitive data from scanned client files is hard because the information appears in different places each time and templates and manual boxes fail.
