Depends on the doc but maybe 100ish pp/hour if I'm really moving on it.

Re: What is a respectible pages per hour reviewed in a doc review?
not sure about pages, but docs per hour:
if you are the first priv gate and just bucketing for a future priv log review, 40 docs an hour.
if you are supposed to be making the right priv call on all docs, probably 15 an hour. 5-10 might even by fine.

Re: What is a respectible pages per hour reviewed in a doc review?
Depends on the technology/process being used, but basic first level review is ~50 documents per hour (assuming several page documents of a similar theme). I'd say 100 is about average if there are no complex documents requiring deep scrutiny AND you're just doing a first pass and not doing final coding (which it sounds like you might be).
50-100 pages is probably reasonable if you're doing responsiveness, confidentiality, AND privilege. (at my peak I ran a couple reviews - on the technical side as a discovery consultant, not a lawyer - and we got around 250 pages per hour but we were organizing batches by document similarity or email chain, auto-coding near-duplicates, and a whole bunch of other stuff to up the speeds. Plus the firm was killing these contract attorneys I think.)
The thing that's ridiculous is that there are fucking machines that can do a better job than attorneys at responsiveness review. We're technically capable of doing confidentiality/privilege review as well but the software isn't quite designed for that yet (it's more geared towards binary yes/no calls like Responsiveness than on which privilege may apply from a list of several options).
