Redaction & conflicts · In-house
Two jobs you cannot outsource, done in-house.
Redaction and conflicts both require reading exactly the material a firm should never upload. Doing them offline is the only version that makes sense.
Redaction and conflicts, in one place
Both depend on reading the whole record, which is why they belong here.
Candidates for redaction
Personal data, privileged passages and protected material identified across a production, with the page and the reason.
Burned in, not layered over
Redactions applied to the exported file rather than drawn on top of text that survives underneath — the mistake that produces the headlines.
Parties extracted for conflicts
Every entity and individual pulled from incoming documents into the conflicts corpus automatically, rather than depending on intake typing them in.
Checked against the firm's history
New parties run against every matter the firm holds, including the adverse parties buried in exhibits.
What stays true on every matter
These do not change by practice area, firm size, or the question asked.
Run it against a conflicts check you have already cleared.
The useful question is whether it surfaces a relationship that the intake form did not capture.

The answers below are specific to this page’s subject.
Is the redaction final?
The candidates are proposals and an attorney confirms them. Applying redaction automatically without review is not something we would build.
Does redacted text really disappear?
Yes — it is removed from the exported document, not covered with a rectangle over live text.
How far back does the conflicts check reach?
Across every matter on the machine, including parties that only appear inside documents rather than on an intake form.
What about sealed matters?
Sealed matters are excluded from firm-wide scans, and the count of what was excluded is shown rather than hidden.
