Consilio Review

Depends

Should I use Consilio?

Consilio's integrated approach to eDiscovery challenges uses innovative technology, AI document review services, and deep expertise to deliver secure, efficient solutions that minimize risk. - consilio.com

Buy only if you're a large firm or corporation facing complex litigation, SEC/DOJ investigations, or second requests that need managed document review. Small firms and routine matters will overpay for a services engagement — use self-serve eDiscovery software or Microsoft Purview instead.

Best for

  • Large firms with heavy litigation
  • Corporations facing SEC/DOJ investigations
  • Cross-border M&A second requests

Not for

  • Teams needing software they operate in-house
  • Routine internal searches or small matters

Gotchas - check before you buy

high

Guess: per-GB hosting and reviewer-hour fees add up fast; no published rates to check against

medium

Microsoft 365 already includes Purview eDiscovery — check it before paying for managed services

medium

Guess: confirm data export terms upfront; migrating hosted data between eDiscovery vendors is painful
