On October 1, 2026, Foley & Lardner described a multilingual internal investigation in which Relativity aiR analyzed Spanish-language documents, produced English outputs and surfaced issues with supporting citations; the firm said attorney reviewers overturned fewer than 1% of the system’s recommendations. Foley attributed the result to prompt refinement, sampling, escalation procedures and audit trails, but the figure is firm-reported and not an independent benchmark. The useful lesson for mid-sized firms is methodological: define the workflow, test a measurable error or reversal rate and document human decisions before scaling. A smaller firm can reproduce that control pattern without reproducing Foley’s overall technology portfolio.
