eDiscovery Support

HOW WE HELP

eDiscovery is the process of identifying, collecting and organising relevant documents for legal review into a user-friendly format for claims, investigations and litigation.

Challenges during the eDiscovery process include:

  • identifying the relevant documents amongst the vast amount of data and documents created by individuals and organisations every day
  • understanding where the documents are located and how they are stored
  • extracting the documents without corrupting the metadata of each document
  • sorting, organising and storing the documents and their metadata in a secure user-friendly format that is searchable.

The support and efficiencies provided by eDiscovery Collab  are designed to avoid costly mistakes:

  • Metadata: To avoid compromising a case, it’s really important that the information is handled carefully. Without the right knowledge, important metadata, which is the background details of a document including when it was created or last modified and by whom, can be changed or lost, damaging the integrity of the document.
  • Duplicates: Within the volumes of documents found, there can be many, many, many copies of the same document or long email chains which have been received by multiple parties. Without a deduplication process, reviewing duplicate documents can add extraordinary costs to the eDiscovery process.  
  • User-friendly: Not all data is searchable without applying OCR (optical character recognition) technology.
  • Confidentiality: Identifying and managing privileged material in the discovery process is vital to avoid inadvertent disclosure.
