Our Insights on eDiscovery

In the ever-evolving world of eDiscovery, the types of data we collect, process, and review have expanded far beyond traditional documents. With the proliferation of short messages, geolocation data, social media posts, financial transactions, and structured databases, traditional document-centric approaches are proving inadequate. This shift necessitates a reevaluation of how we handle data throughout the Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) to avoid the pitfalls of linear review workflows that are both expensive and tedious.

In many eDiscovery cases, teams of experts handle the collection of traditional and modern data following a proven, standard process. These experts ensure the data is authenticated, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the evidence.

As an eDiscovery software and services provider who has worked with hundreds of law firms, corporate legal and government teams over the past 20 years, we have learned ways to make the process of data collection for eDiscovery easier and more efficient.

When it comes to ensuring that data is preserved and available for litigation, investigations, or government inquiries, it all starts with establishing and codifying clear data governance policies and procedures.

What’s today’s biggest eDiscovery dilemma? The proliferation of modern data, including text and data from chat, social media, and communication apps, is adding even greater complexity to the already daunting task of finding evidence.
