Areas of Focus
Information Governance
We handle getting your electronic house in order to mitigate risk and expenses should e-discovery become an issue, from initial creation of ESI (electronically stored information) through its final disposition. Our team assists clients in implementing comprehensive data management policies and protocols, including legal hold and data retention policies, to protect against risk and drive cost savings.
Preservation & Collection
We work with our clients’ internal IT to assist with identification of potential sources of ESI and determine its scope, breadth and depth. Our team assists with implementation of proper controls to ensure that ESI is protected against inappropriate alteration or destruction. We focus collections to only relevant data and utilize collection tools to maintain metadata and chain of custody.
Processing & Analysis
Our clients rely on us to help reducing the volume of ESI through advanced analytics and evaluate ESI for content and context, including key patterns, topics, people and discussion.
Review
Our use of cutting-edge review platform Relativity coupled with highly experienced project managers and analysts assists clients in driving efficiency, accuracy and insight.
Production
We assist clients with implementation of comprehensive quality control protocols to ensure confidentiality and privilege concerns are addressed and ensure production deadlines and goals are met. Our clients rely on our deep experience and knowledge surrounding proper production of ESI in appropriate forms and using appropriate delivery mechanisms.
Presentation
Our team has experience displaying ESI before audiences (at depositions, hearings, trials, etc.), especially in native and near-native forms.
