Process: Our E-Discovery services are designed to assist organizations in identifying, collecting, and analyzing electronic data for legal proceedings or internal investigations. The process starts with a consultation to define the scope of the data required. We then deploy specialized tools to securely identify and collect electronic information from various sources like emails, databases, and network drives while ensuring data integrity. The collected data undergoes a filtering and indexing process to make it searchable. Our analysts work closely with your legal team to review and identify relevant information that could be pivotal in litigation or an internal inquiry. We also ensure compliance with legal standards for electronic data, such as the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) or specific industry regulations.
Examples:
During a corporate litigation case, we helped a client by identifying and analyzing over two million emails to locate specific information crucial to their legal defense.
In an internal fraud investigation, our E-Discovery services helped a financial institution find critical evidence in financial records and internal communication logs, thereby aiding in the quick resolution of the case.
Risks for Not Doing It: Failure to properly manage and execute E-Discovery could have severe consequences, especially in legal contexts. Inadequate E-Discovery processes may result in the loss or corruption of crucial data, weakening your position in legal proceedings. Non-compliance with legal requirements surrounding electronic data can also lead to penalties, sanctions, or unfavorable judgments. Additionally, poorly executed E-Discovery can consume significant time and resources, delaying the resolution of cases and potentially leading to higher legal costs. Furthermore, mishandling sensitive data during E-Discovery can lead to data breaches and reputational damage.
