Large-Scale Environmental Litigation Data Processing with Logical Document Determination & Bibliographic Coding

Discover how MAPSystems processed and coded over 6.5 million environmental litigation records, delivering review-ready data ahead of schedule for a leading global law firm.

Project Overview

A globally recognized law firm engaged MAPSystems to perform large-scale document unitization and coding services for two complex environmental litigation matters. The project involved processing nearly 6.6 million images and coding approximately 300,000 documents under strict discovery deadlines.

Client Profile

The client is an internationally renowned law firm serving multinational corporations, investors, and entrepreneurial organizations across tax, healthcare, mergers and acquisitions, private equity, and regulatory law.

At a Glance

Project 1: ~5million images processed within 13 weeks

Project 2: 1.5 million images processed within 9 weeks

50 dedicated specialists recruited and trained

500,000+ logical boundaries identified and inserted

250,000+ documents coded for objective and subjective metadata fields

The Challenge

The client needed review-ready environmental records from two massive collections with inconsistent document boundaries, limited metadata, and poor image quality. Traditional automated capture technologies were ineffective due to the age and condition of the records. The legal team also faced aggressive discovery deadlines, requiring rapid turnaround without compromising accuracy.

MAPSystems Solution

MAPSystems developed a structured litigation support workflow beginning with detailed requirement gathering and pilot processing. Subject Matter Experts validated coding standards and quality benchmarks before scaling operations. A dedicated team of 70 trained professionals was deployed and cross-trained to maintain consistency, optimize resource allocation, and support changing project priorities.

Results & Business Impact

MAPSystems successfully delivered rolling production batches ahead of schedule, enabling uninterrupted attorney review. The team established more than 300,000 logical boundaries in the primary collection and enriched the second collection with critical metadata and document descriptions. Both projects were completed ahead of final deadlines, providing additional review time for legal teams while maintaining budget expectations and quality standards.

  • Accelerated legal review readiness
  • Improved document searchability and accessibility
  • Consistent coding quality across millions of records
