Specialised Energy, Natural Resources & Utilities Expertise

Energy & Natural Resources companies face growing legal and regulatory scrutiny. International and domestic regulators, stakeholders, and environmental organisations are increasingly challenging claims and licences across land, sea, and air. As production technologies evolve, intellectual property conflicts and royalty disputes continue to escalate.
‍
Highly competitive and volatile trading conditions create additional legal exposure, while in the UK, Ofgem has become increasingly stringent regarding investigations and fines, often reaching millions of pounds. Meanwhile, CEER, ICER and other oversight bodies shape a multi‑layered regulatory landscape requiring careful navigation.

Case Study

Cross‑Border Response to Regulatory Investigations

The Issue

Eight legal carriers and their outside counsel were engaged in a large insurance litigation matter that would involve a significant amount of electronically stored information (ESI). Specifics of the industry and distribution processes required specialised culling techniques to quickly prioritise relevant documents for review as well as eliminate or deprioritise data immaterial to the matter.

Our Approach

Consilio’s dedicated Analytics team of lawyers and computer scientists engaged to deploy sophisticated analysis to quickly identify over 100,000 documents that required various levels of review by outside counsels as well as the population of documents to eliminate or deprioritise.

The Result

By not only identifying the 100,000 documents for outside counsel review but also further recommending the classification levels of review, Consilio assisted in optimising downstream review workflows. Consilio’s analytics team and it’s Non-Responsive Analysis immediately eliminated approximately 10% of the total document population and deprioritised 40% of the total corpus as redundant eDocs. Consilio’s experienced data operations, project management, and Analytics teams coordinated with multiple co-counsel and within tight time constraints to simplify workflows and deliver significant cost savings to end clients by reducing lawyer review time.
• Using language identification we able to identify and assign documents in specific languages to the correct review resources.
• Our review team completed the first level review and categorisation into the 17 categories in 507.5 hours of review time, with an additional 58 hours of review management.
• By avoiding outside counsel running the first level review, we reduced the up front and overall costfor our client.
