Beyond Simple Privilege Tags
Privilege isn't binary. DecoverAI evaluates each document against the full complexity of privilege law: Is there an actual attorney-client communication? Is the primary purpose legal advice? Does a third-party recipient vitiate the privilege? Is it work product prepared in anticipation of litigation?
Matter-Specific Privilege Rules
Every matter has its own privilege landscape — specific attorneys, client organizations, agents, and exceptions. DecoverAI ingests your privilege definitions including privileged parties, communication-type rules, and edge cases (like counsel-retained consultants or dual-role lobbyists), then applies them consistently across the corpus.
Handling the Hard Cases
The AI handles the scenarios that trip up manual reviewers: forwarded chains where only part is privileged, documents marked "CONFIDENTIAL" that aren't actually privileged, unsigned drafts that may be work product, and the critical distinction between an attorney acting as legal counsel versus acting as a business promoter.
Defensible Output
Every privilege determination is traceable to the underlying analysis. The system identifies which privilege applies (ACP, WP, joint defense), the basis for the determination, and flags borderline cases for human review — ensuring your privilege log withstands court scrutiny.
