Martin Tully Featured in Legaltech News Article on GenAI’s Impact on TAR

Martin Tully was interviewed for a recent Legaltech News article, “RelativityFest 2025: Will Gen AI Pricing Moves Spell the End for TAR?”, which examines how generative AI (GenAI) is reshaping document review in eDiscovery and whether it signals the decline of technology assisted review (TAR).

Redgrave partner Martin Tully said he believes gen AI will eventually replace TAR, but “not anytime soon. … What I'm seeing in the trenches is there's still a reluctance to use it for anything that would cull documents from either being reviewed or being produced—[though not] internally.  People [are] using it left and right for internal privilege prioritization or review internally.”

He explained, “Where you have the problem is getting other people to agree to it in terms of … how you will define the scope of respon[sive] materials?  All the ESI protocols that I get involved with in large [multidistrict litigations], the plaintiffs bar is very, very, very sensitive to anything that will be used to cull what is within the scope of what even gets reviewed, much less produced. … I'm still seeing that with gen AI, OK, and how are we going to negotiate this?  What are we going to do?  What prompts are being used?”

“I'm still seeing this resistance to—I don't need that headache.  Eventually, I think we'll get over that hurdle,” he added.
