Discovery Services
Almost all of the documents we generate and the correspondence we send are created and stored electronically. Most organizations rely on digital technology for more than 98% of their communication and record-keeping.
But what will you do when those documents must be produced in response to litigation or a government investigation? How will you identify, gather, analyze, and organize all of the information on your computers, servers, cell phones, iPhones, Droids and web sites?
Discovery, the process of providing information in legal proceedings, is now: e-discovery.
Our team offers a unique, integrated portfolio of services that protects and defends you before and during the e-discovery process through response planning, records management, policy development, and ongoing education.
Think of us as your organization’s e-counsel, providing the assurance you need to navigate every digital-evidence scenario.
Producing electronic information and documents is now at the center of every litigation process. Failure to properly preserve, locate, and disclose relevant electronically-stored information can lead to catastrophic results. Choosing the right e-discovery team is critical in today’s legal and business environment.
Our custom electronic records-management systems are designed to be efficient and effective, so you can focus on managing your business with confidence.
Our proactive problem-solving approach has enabled our e-discovery experts to successfully implement solutions for clients involved in complex situations such as:
- Commercial, insurance, intellectual property, and product
- Liability litigation
- Antitrust litigation and compliance
- Transactional due diligence
- Internal corporate investigations
- White-collar defense
