When it comes to responding to a legal matter, time is of the essence, and many disputes now require many thousands of electronic documents and emails to be reviewed and assessed before disclosure to opposing counsel and court.
Through the use of technology, the number of documents to be reviewed can be significantly reduced, resulting in a process that’s quick and cost effective.
Our experts can assist at all stages of an eDiscovery exercise, from identifying and preserving initial data, through to document review and production.
Not only do we provide a software platform, but we actively manage the process throughout, helping you to find the best workflow, assisting with the searching and foldering stage, performing ‘Technology Assisted Review’ workflows as required and, in the latter stages, ensuring that relevancy, privilege and tagging is fully considered before creating a final disclosure set.
Whilst outside counsel take the reins of the document review, as well as managing the platform, we can assist with the more technical aspects of the engagement drawing upon the expertise of our in-house forensic accounting, asset recovery and investigation specialists.
