Lighthouse, a leader in technology-enabled eDiscovery, compliance, and information governance services, is thrilled to announce that its recent project with Cleary Gottlieb has been named the winner of the “Best Provider Collaboration” at the prestigious American Lawyer Industry Awards.

The American Lawyer Industry Awards, which were presented at a ceremony in New York last night, recognize outstanding achievements and contributions made by individuals, law firms, and legal departments across various practice areas and specialties. The Best Provider Collaboration award honors the type of collaboration clients are seeking to most effectively and efficiently handle their matters.

“This award is particularly meaningful for several reasons, including the recognition of our extraordinary partnership with the Cleary team,” said Fernando Delgado, Ph.D., Director of AI and Analytics at Lighthouse. “It’s also an honor to be included with such an outstanding group of fellow nominees.”

Cleary and Lighthouse were recognized for their groundbreaking approach leveraging technology to produce privilege logs (privlogs) as part of large litigations and investigations. This project leveraged a large language model in the form of predictive AI to help identify privileged documents and separately leveraged a large language model in the form of generative AI to draft the log entries. The first major test of this tool produced an entire 80,000-line privlog that was accepted by the opposing party without challenge.

According to Christian J. (CJ) Mahoney, Counsel and Global Head of eDiscovery and Litigation Technology at Cleary Gottlieb, the project demonstrated the power of combining powerful AI technology with thoughtful expertise from a law firm and service provider, working closely together. “Our long-standing relationship with Lighthouse continues to truly benefit our clients, and this award is simply the latest proof of that.”
