Matters that benefit from eDiscovery support

To many, the term eDiscovery implies that such services only apply to disputes and the process of preparing an electronic list of documents relating to discovery/disclosure. The reality is that eDiscovery has evolved and done well, it is enveloped in a range of complimentary services that create a competitive advantage for legal teams who are responsible for identifying, collecting, analysing, and reviewing data in any legal or quasi-legal environment.

Consider

• Adopting eDiscovery processes on any matter which calls for the review of data. Combining eDiscovery-related solutions can become a valuable workflow, a methodology. As a result, it is not a matter of if eDiscovery and the peripheral solutions will assist you, but a matter of how.

• Solutions for non-standard eDiscovery applications including subpoena responses, personal information identification, internal investigations, and due diligence exercises.

• The scalable nature of eDiscovery and discrete components that make up the process. Leverage only those parts of the process that are appropriate for the size of your matter. For some small matters this could be the removal of documents, creation of a list of documents and sorting them into categories based on their responsiveness to key word searches.

• Operating in stages, applying only discrete pieces of the workflow at a time and letting the outcomes of each guide your next steps.
