IDENTIFICATION

The identification phase is when potentially responsive documents are identified for further analysis and review. Since the scope of data can be overwhelming in this phase, attempts are made to reduce the overall scope, such as limiting documents to certain date ranges or search terms to avoid. In the earliest stages of litigation, it’s critical for attorneys to get to the facts of the case quickly in order to develop case strategy, gain an initial estimate of litigation costs, and better prepare for Meet & Confers. Using early case assessment software, we give law firms access to crucial facts about the case to help make important decisions such as:

  • Key custodians, search terms and potential date ranges
  • Size and scope of the data
  • Costs associated with reviewing needed data in

When you get a discovery request, you need a partner who can quickly and accurately process an electronic data set into a reviewable form. Our full-featured, in-house electronic data discovery (EDD) processing capabilities make us that partner. We can handle your project regardless of size; creating and executing to virtually any media format or software type. Our teams of technicians are experienced in processing data and can handle the wide range of challenges so often presented by electronic data processing–all with the ability to customize each project based on the specific case needs.

We then simplify the Early Case Assessment process presenting data in easy-to-understand graphs, charts, and timelines. Attorneys can use these interactive charts to drill down into specific date ranges, key custodians, or other relevant metadata for a deeper look at the data. This benefits you in a variety of ways:

  • Easy-to-use interface reduces training and maintenance
  • Indexes and organizes large amounts of unstructured data quickly
  • Graphing and charting data makes it easy to see the big picture, sooner
  • No appliance restrictions allows infrastructure flexibility
  • Solid security at the user level for ultimate control
  • Flexible export options including direct export to Eclipse and Relativity

COLLECTION

Collection is the transfer of data from a company to their legal counsel, who will determine relevance and disposition of data. The size and scale of this collection is determined by the identification phase. Our Collection Services include:

PROCESSING

During the processing phase, native files are prepared to be loaded into a document review platform. This phase often involves the extraction of text and metadata from the native files. Various data culling techniques are employed during this phase, such as de-duplication and de-NISTing.

Sometimes native files will be converted to a PDF or TIFF format for easier review and bates-labeling. Other processing tools can also employ advanced analytic tools to help document review attorneys more accurately identify potentially relevant documents.

Modern processing tools can also employ advanced analytic tools to help document review attorneys more accurately identify potentially relevant documents. The nine major tasks of electronic discovery processing:
