Industry: Legal | Region: United States | Sector: Class Action Litigation, Legal Discovery
In downtown Chicago, your litigation firm faces a high-stakes battle. You’re leading a class action suit with over 40,000 plaintiffs against a multinational manufacturer accused of product liability and consumer deception. The potential damages are massive, and the pressure is intense.
But your team confronts a discovery nightmare—over 200,000 scattered emails, reports, and contracts, many incomplete or buried in legal jargon. Manual review would take months, risking missed evidence that could derail the case or lead to sanctions. With tight court deadlines and aggressive opposition, you turn to aiMDC.
In less than 72 hours, aiMDC scans terabytes of documents. It uncovers a crucial report linking product risks to a hidden compliance memo from the previous year. This breakthrough becomes the cornerstone of your legal strategy. With clear, traceable insights, you protect the case, strengthen your argument, and avoid a costly collapse.

Environment
Objective
To surface key internal communications, legal exposure, and risk signals within massive discovery files—accurately and quickly—while avoiding the loss of critical evidence or court sanctions
What was done
aiMDC was deployed to analyze emails, contracts, compliance documents, and legal memos simultaneously. It highlighted patterns of internal knowledge, inconsistencies, and overlooked disclosures—providing the team with fully referenced, source-linked findings in record time
Achievement
aiMDC identified critical internal documents that had evaded earlier manual review—including a compliance memo that directly contradicted the defendant’s court position. This single thread shifted the tone of negotiations and prevented the litigation team from missing a pivotal argument. The AI enabled a fully audit-traceable evidence trail, shielding the firm from procedural risk while drastically accelerating the review timeline. As lead counsel noted, “We were facing an evidence cliff. aiMDC didn’t just catch us—it built the bridge. Without it, we’d have missed what made the case.”
