ChatEQ

ChatEQ is a tool for producing counsel that helps manage the production of client files. It codes client files against predefined responses, holds privilege and mixed files for counsel, and ensures originals stay as provided. The process keeps the same file together with email attachments and allows a lawyer to see what went out and what stayed back before the production is finalized.

The system is designed to support a single matter in which a desk operates on the files from case papers through the production. It emphasizes that the scope is defined by the responses served and not by the entire request or other deals that may exist in the same file.

The tool provides guidance on what can be asked and redacted, with privilege and other considerations retained for counsel. It supports sign-off before the review runs and keeps calls and privilege decisions within counsel’s control.

The production is built to integrate with the review tool already used by the firm or the opposing side. It emphasizes that the case does not need to move onto a new platform to go out the door and that client documents are not used to train models.

Use cases

• Discovery files are the client’s life. Each matter stays apart, files are encrypted, and nothing is used to train a model.
