Document Redaction for Legal Professionals
AI-powered redaction that protects privileged information, accelerates discovery review, and produces court-ready documents in minutes instead of days.
Why Manual Legal Redaction Fails
- Manually reviewing hundreds of discovery documents page-by-page wastes billable hours and increases the risk of human error.
- A single missed redaction of privileged attorney-client communication can result in waiver of privilege and malpractice claims.
- FOIA and public records requests demand consistent, defensible redaction that stands up to judicial review.
- Paralegals and associates spend days on redaction tasks that pull them away from substantive legal work.
- Traditional redaction tools like black markers or basic PDF editors leave metadata intact, exposing hidden text to opposing counsel.
How AI-Redact Solves Legal Redaction
- AI-Redact scans entire document sets in minutes, detecting names, case numbers, Social Security numbers, and privileged content automatically.
- Pattern-based detection ensures every instance of sensitive information is caught across all pages, eliminating the risk of missed redactions.
- Permanent, irrecoverable redaction removes both visible text and underlying metadata so redacted content can never be recovered.
- Batch processing lets your team redact hundreds of PDFs in a single session, freeing up associates for higher-value work.
- Court-ready output meets federal and state standards for redacted document submissions, with consistent formatting throughout.

Testimonials
Trusted by Legal Professionals
“We switched to AI-Redact for our FOIA practice and cut our document processing time by 80%. What used to take a paralegal three full days now takes a few hours. The consistency of the redactions has also eliminated the back-and-forth we used to have with requesters challenging incomplete redactions.”
