Essie’s Top Three Tips for eDiscovery Clients

1. Keep your data well organised with filenames beginning with a reverse date (20231108) for automated chronological sorting. 

2. Always allow an extra day on your expectations for computer processing when large volumes of data are involved.

3. Data manipulation is rarely a one-click solution so expect even the simple tasks to have a degree of complexity about them.
