Productions and disclosure
Sweep large bundles for the same names, addresses, account numbers, and identifiers across hundreds of PDFs, DOCX files, and scanned exhibits, then review what was caught and what was missed before the release goes out.
Legal Redaction
Redact legal documents without the file ever leaving your device
Built for legal ops, paralegals, litigation support, and firms preparing material for production, disclosure, or client circulation. Source documents are processed in your browser, not uploaded to our servers — and your team still owns the review pass before anything goes out.
Why legal teams look at RedactVault
High-sensitivity work, tight deadlines, no room for an embarrassing leak
Legal redaction sits at the intersection of repetitive sweeping work, high-stakes content, and release deadlines. The tool needs to be fast enough to keep up, conservative enough to fail safely, and quiet enough not to add a new exposure path of its own.
Client intake and case files
Prepare intake packets, witness statements, and supporting records for circulation without sending the source documents through a third-party processing service first.
Drafts for outside counsel and experts
Produce reviewed versions for partners, co-counsel, experts, and client updates with the source files staying on the device that prepared them.
What matters in practice
Remove a step from the exposure chain
Most "the file got out" stories involve a document sitting somewhere it did not need to be — a vendor processing queue, a cache, a backup, an email attachment forwarded to the wrong person. If the document never has to leave your device to be redacted, that whole class of incident becomes harder to cause by accident.
Keep humans on the contextual judgement
Pattern detection finds names that look like names and numbers shaped like account numbers. It does not catch "the eldest daughter" or "the company referenced in paragraph 12" — phrases that identify someone by context rather than format. Those are human-review territory in any tool, and your team should expect to do that pass.
Choose the export mode deliberately, per matter
Rasterized PDF export turns each page into an image and is the strongest assurance against text-layer leaks. Native PDF export keeps the text layer for unredacted parts, runs verification, and falls back to rasterizing any page it cannot verify. Different matters call for different defaults — the choice should be conscious, not accidental.
Verify the export, every time
After exporting, open the redacted file in a different PDF reader than the one that produced it, try to select text under the black bars, search for a redacted term, and check Document Properties for metadata. Two minutes of this catches almost every common leak. Build it into the release checklist.
What this page does not claim
This is a workflow page, not a compliance certification. RedactVault is not a substitute for your firm's release procedures, matter-specific review requirements, or the judgement of the person whose name is on the filing.
