Privilege review · Before production
Privilege review without disclosing the privilege.
The material you are screening for privilege is the material you cannot send to a vendor to screen. HIGHCOURT does the reading on a workstation the firm owns.
Where it helps before disclosure
It surfaces candidates. The privilege call remains an attorney’s, as it has to be.
Privilege flags
Applied during document classification, so potentially privileged material is surfaced in review rather than discovered after production.
Privilege log candidates
Likely log entries are identified with the dates, authors and recipients a log asks for, ready for the attorney who writes it.
Redaction proposals
Privileged passages and protected material identified across a production, with the page and the reason, for an attorney to confirm.
Burned in, not layered over
Confirmed redactions are applied to the exported file rather than drawn on top of text that survives underneath.

Request a BriefingWhy privilege review belongs on your own hardware
A privilege screen is only as private as the place it runs.
A hosted tool necessarily receives the documents it analyses. For a privilege screen, that means sending exactly the communications you are trying to protect to a third party, and relying on a contract to keep them protected.
With HIGHCOURT no third party receives them. Documents are read from the firm’s own storage, processed on the firm’s own GPU, and the result is written back to the firm’s own disk. The privilege question stops being a contractual one and becomes a physical one.
What it will not do
Some decisions are not a model’s to make.
It does not make privilege determinations, and it does not apply redactions without review. Candidates are proposals, and an attorney confirms them.
If privileged material was produced by mistake, that finding is surfaced as an issue rather than silently used.
Questions firms ask, and the honest answers.
Does it decide what is privileged?
No. Privilege flags are applied during classification and surfaced in review. The determination remains an attorney’s.
Can it help build a privilege log?
Yes, as preparation. It gathers the candidate documents and the details each entry needs, so the attorney drafting the log starts from a list rather than a production.
Do the documents leave the firm during review?
No. HIGHCOURT runs on a workstation the firm owns and is designed to run with no internet connection at all. There is no vendor-side copy.
Does it work on a production that is still growing?
Yes. Documents are sorted as they arrive, so new privilege candidates land in the same review queue before anything goes out the door.
Who sees the documents during review?
Only the people at the firm who use the workstation. No vendor, hosting provider or subprocessor is part of the review, because nothing is sent anywhere.
