E-Discovery

E-Discovery is a process where lawyers collect, review, and produce electronic documents during the discovery phase of a case rather than boxes of paper.  In the past, responses to requests for the production of documents involved simply searching for paper documents.  These days, with the emergence of technology, discovery practices have evolved and changed our insight of what defines “responsive documents.”  Not only can responses to requests for the production of documents come from paper documents, but also (and more often are) word documents, spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, and emails.  These types of documents can reside on hard drives, CD’s, disks, network servers, and back-up tapes. Our E-Discovery team will work with you and your IT staff to distinguish where documents are stored, what format they are stored in, and how the data can be retrieved in a way that does not change it. We have the proper equipment and personnel to provide everything from consultation and training, to software applications and trial strategy. By processing electronic documents electronically, we can help you and your client significantly cut discovery costs and save time by eliminating needless steps.
