Comprehensive service
Our service includes natural language processing to enable quick assessments of data, visual reporting tools to present key evidentiary findings effectively and advanced pattern-finding capabilities to identify hidden patterns in data. We utilise AI throughout the eDiscovery process to improve speed and accuracy, whilst reducing cost.
Speed
We use AI throughout the eDiscovery process to minimise data volumes. This improves processing speeds and reduces review burdens without impacting quality, contributing to faster, more cost-effective eDiscovery.
Rapid Assessment
We use natural language processing techniques to deliver rapid assessments of the data landscape, enabling faster resolution of Early Case or Data Assessment decisions.
Visual Reporting
Data visualisations native to Reveal-Brainspace and innovative Power BI reporting can be used to present a compelling picture of key evidentiary findings.
Advanced Pattern-Finding
Our out-of-the-box and custom-built cognitive analytics models enable us to conduct advanced pattern finding in order to accelerate the Discovery process.
Dedicated Solutions
We combine our forensic analytic skills with off-the-shelf technologies to build dedicated solutions that accelerate the analysis of large-scale and diverse data sets.
Actionable Insights
At the end of every engagement, we provide recommendations on how to improve your eDiscovery process in order to drive down future eDiscovery costs.
Personal touch
Context is everything. We take the time to get to know our clients and their unique business landscapes in order to tailor our use of technology and AI to deliver a truly best-fit solution.

Beyond eDiscovery
Looking beyond the traditional scope of eDiscovery, we use our creativity to extend the service we offer to our clients. We push the technology to its limits and deploy our analytical skills to solve a wide range of business and investigative challenges.
We’ve found new use cases for search, analysis and review capability that brings together structured and unstructured data to solve critical business challenges.
Structured Content Review
Get more value from your eDiscovery investment by extending the use of our structured content review to non-investigative/litigative applications.
Client (or internal) documentation can be ingested directly into our platform, reducing unnecessary clutter in your own DMS. (Data requiring long term retention can be moved to secure storage after review is complete.)
Streamlined review capabilities – including standardisable approaches to review sets, secure multi-user access, review pools and more – can then be put to work to analyse, markup and record salient facts quickly for consolidation in a findings report. No more awkward workarounds, no more Excel spreadsheets, just fast, salient results using capabilities you already have available.
Fast and efficient contract review
Assess the impact of changes on a large volume of contracts (eg. change of ownership) and report on the findings for review by a legal professional.
Focused data discovery
Respond to a Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) or use eDiscovery tools to identify Personally Identifiable Data (PII) in a dataset. For example, following a data breach, our AI-powered eDiscovery service could be used to assess the amount of PII that was exposed.
Methodical due diligence
Analyse contracts and documentation in a structured way, utilising AI-powered tools and machine-learning techniques to improve speed and efficiency. Mark up observations and report on findings for a review process.
Using eDiscovery insights to
drive down cost
Cost has always been a limiting factor for the use of eDiscovery. Salient’s unique pricing model removes this barrier to entry, unlocking eDiscovery technology’s vast potential to deliver additional business value while actively driving down costs.
Streamline the eDiscovery process
Work with our experts to benchmark your eDiscovery maturity against industry best practices and identify opportunities to streamline your process to improve compliance, decrease risk, and reduce future eDiscovery costs.
Improve information governance with eDiscovery insights
Every eDiscovery project delivers insights into your data estate. Use these to fuel a virtuous cycle of risk- and cost-reducing information governance improvements with clear benefits to motivate faster buy-in from stakeholders departments.
Proactively manage fraud risk with eDiscovery tools and techniques
Turn eDiscovery on its head and use the tools and techniques as part of a proactive methodology to sample and analyse data in support of due diligence or compliance activities.
Forensic Data Analytics
When it comes to identifying fraud, corruption, collusion, abuse or unethical conduct, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. At Salient, we use a flexible suite of tools, technologies and methodologies to adapt each investigation to the specific matter at hand. These include traditional rule-based analytics and non-traditional analytics like AI.
Whether you’re looking to proactively detect suspicious activities, respond to a known event, or unearth new insights into your own data and business processes, we’ll connect the dots to produce a factual, legally defensible picture.
Generate new insights
Through a process of understanding the data landscape, validation, cleansing, interrogation and analysis, we can uncover new insights into data and business processes and establish facts that are legally defensible.
Detect suspicious activity
By designing purpose-built FDA routines that are adapted to the specific challenge, we can expedite the identification of irregular or fraudulent activity. We utilise Computer Assisted Audit Techniques (CAAT) to highlight suspicious activity which may warrant further detailed inspection.
Find patterns in disparate data sets
Identify relationships, correlations and patterns that were previously not visible by applying non-traditional analytics, such as AI analytics, to relate seemingly disparate sets of data.
