Integrated e-Discovery Solutions
Let us help you manage the moving parts
You are a Sr. Litigation Partner or a General Counsel responsible for high-stakes litigation. Just a decade ago, this charge might have entailed selecting a team of Associates to manually collect, review, code and produce several redwelds filled with paper documents. The process complete, you were now in a position to assess the corpus and devise your case strategy.
Fast forward to the present. Paper documents comprise a fraction - or none - of the corpus that must be preserved and reviewed. Electronically Stored Information. - located on company servers and desktops, the personal computers of multiple custodians, external hard drives, PDAs, MP3 devices, iPods and thumb drives - not to mention legacy data on back-up tapes - is the ubiquitous target of today's litigation hold notices. Wherever information resides, one fact remains: according to Forrester research, corporations each generate more than a million e-mails and other documents every workday, most of which are discoverable.
The rapid proliferation of e-Discovery software tools provides a dizzying array of choices with which to manage this exponential growth of information. The choices you make will directly correspond to the costs and quality of document review results, and potentially, the outcome of the matter at hand. Changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure have also contributed to discovery rationalization and provide both guiding principles and a framework for devising a responsible, reasonable approach to fulfilling discovery obligations.
If you are challenged with the complexities of dealing with multiple vendors, keeping up with the R&D and expense associated with implementing the optimum combination of software tools, services and suppliers that may vary with each matter - call on The Dine Group to manage the process - from processing, through review and production, or any combination of e-Discovery life cycle milestones. While you and your litigation team do the heavy lifting - bringing your intellectual capital to bear on the case issues and strategies - let us manage the nuts and bolts, bits and bytes.
