Suppress sealed-text references in litigation summaries
Confidentiality controls often need to preserve useful legal context rather than simply remove it.
Teams tend to balance safe treatment of protected material against the completeness of the resulting work product.
“I can fix a bad sentence, but I shouldn’t have to hunt for sealed facts first.”

What pulls against what
- confidentiality protection vs. usable matter context
- simple exclusion vs. precise handling
- fast remediation vs. legal usefulness
What is at stake
A small but visible confidentiality failure is creating avoidable review work. A workable rule can protect sensitive matter context without flattening useful analysis
Why Harvey
At Harvey, this can matter where source-grounded work depends on both authoritative materials and sensitive client documents.
