For plaintiff firms, controlling litigation costs matters. Clients expect strong advocacy, but they also want efficiency, transparency, and thoughtful use of resources. In eDiscovery, costs can rise quickly when data volumes grow, review timelines stretch, and inactive matters continue sitting in expensive active environments longer than necessary.
That is where Page One can help.
Page One works with plaintiff firms to create smarter, more cost-conscious discovery workflows in RelativityOne. From reducing unnecessary data, to using AI tools that shorten review time, to helping transition matters into more economical storage options, our team helps firms lower costs while staying focused on the facts that move cases forward.
Lower Hosting Costs Through Smarter Workspace Management
Not every matter needs to remain in a fully active review workspace forever. Once the most intensive phases of a case are complete, continuing to host data the same way can create unnecessary spend.
Page One helps firms evaluate the right next step for each matter, including:
- Repository workspaces for longer-term retention and access
- Cold storage options for inactive data that does not need to remain live
- ARM exports for preservation and future restoration if needed
By aligning the workspace strategy with the actual stage of the matter, firms can reduce ongoing hosting costs without losing control of important case data.
Reduce Volume Before Costs Multiply
One of the most effective ways to lower eDiscovery spend is to reduce the amount of data that enters the workflow in the first place.
Too often, firms end up paying to process, host, and review information that is duplicative, irrelevant, or no longer necessary. Page One helps identify opportunities to remove unwanted and unneeded data early, which can have a direct impact across the entire matter lifecycle.
Less unnecessary data means:
- Lower processing costs
- Lower hosting costs
- Less attorney review time
- More focus on what actually matters
When the data footprint is smaller, the entire case becomes more manageable and more cost-effective.
Use AI to Shorten Review Time
Document review is often one of the most expensive phases of litigation. The longer it takes to get through the document population, the more costs add up.
RelativityOne’s aiR for Review helps legal teams review documents faster by using advanced AI to support prioritization and accelerate the path to relevant information. Instead of relying only on traditional linear review, teams can leverage AI-assisted workflows to reduce manual effort and improve efficiency.
For plaintiff firms, that can mean:
- Faster review of large document populations
- Lower review spend
- Earlier visibility into important documents
- A more efficient path to case development
The goal is not just faster review. It is faster review that helps reduce cost pressure while still maintaining quality and strategic focus.
Build the Case Story Sooner
Reducing costs is not only about moving faster through review. It is also about reaching insight earlier.
With aiR for Case Strategy, legal teams can begin pulling out key facts, identifying important themes, and building a clearer story from the documents sooner in the life of a matter. Instead of spending weeks trying to manually connect facts across a large dataset, attorneys can start shaping chronology, witness understanding, and case narrative earlier.
That earlier insight can help plaintiff firms:
- Make strategic decisions sooner
- Focus resources on the strongest issues
- Reduce delays in case development
- Shorten the overall life of the matter
- Lower long-term hosting costs
The sooner your team can find the facts and build the story, the sooner you can move with confidence.
Page One Will Work With You
Technology alone does not lower costs. The right strategy does.
Page One works alongside plaintiff firms to help make practical, defensible, and cost-conscious decisions throughout the discovery process. We do not just provide access to RelativityOne. We help clients use it thoughtfully. From data reduction, to review planning, to AI workflows, to storage decisions after active work is complete.
Our team understands that every matter is different. Some cases need speed. Some need budget control. Most need both. Page One helps tailor a workflow that fits the needs of the matter while keeping costs in view from day one.
A Better Approach to Cost Control
Lowering eDiscovery costs does not have to mean cutting corners. It means managing data intelligently, using the right technology, and partnering with a team that understands how to balance efficiency with case goals.
With Page One, plaintiff firms can reduce unnecessary data, shorten review timelines, control hosting costs, and make better use of RelativityOne’s AI-powered tools.
The result: lower costs, better efficiency, and a stronger path forward.
