• Identify and prioritize the meetings, documents, and time periods most relevant to the issues in the matter.
• Load and prepare documents for AI review tools; write and refine search prompts; and check AI output for accuracy and missing items.
• Perform first-level document review, including tagging documents for relevance, key issues, and privilege or confidentiality concerns.
• Build chronologies, fact summaries, issue memos, and indexes of key documents, citing the source for every point.
• Conduct background legal and factual research as directed and summarize findings in plain English.
• Maintain version control and an audit trail of what was reviewed, how, and what was found.
