Eversheds Sutherland Launches AI and Legal Data Analytics Tool to Help Clients Assess Spoliation Sanctions Risk

Eversheds Sutherland is pleased to announce the launch of a proprietary tool to help clients better assess the risk of an adverse ruling on spoliation of evidence in any US court. Developed in partnership with Fastcase, Spoliation Scientist is a first-of-its-kind legal data analytics tool that harnesses the power of artificial intelligence, text analytics, and interactive data visualizations to quickly and efficiently assess spoliation risk in any of the nation’s state and federal courts.

At the click of a button, the tool allows clients operating in multiple jurisdictions to quickly identify areas of risk, direct focus and better budget and forecast for specific discovery-related expenses. Spoliation Scientist uses a combination of Fastcase’s legal research data, professional review of automated data tagging by the Fastcase AI Sandbox technology, and content expertise to establish a visual database of cases where a judge ruled on a claim of spoliation and the sanctions imposed where spoliation was found.

The process and technology Fastcase and Eversheds Sutherland built together can be applied to other unique data sets within the litigation process, allowing Eversheds Sutherland to better advise their clients on risk and potential outcomes.
