E-Discovery Strategy & Advocacy

Overview

Our team puts advocacy first and understands the importance of focusing on the data that really matters to the claims and defenses in dispute by leveraging technology-assisted review and artificial intelligence (“AI”), which dramatically limits the scope, burden and cost of e-discovery in litigation and investigations.

We are equipped to manage the full lifecycle of e-discovery demands of litigation, internal investigations and government enforcement actions, including international e-discovery, data privacy and cross-border challenges.

Strategy

Every client has different needs and we do not believe in a "one-size-fits all" approach.

Before case-driven obligations arise, we proactively advise companies and their legal teams in the development of strategic and tactical e-discovery solutions such as the efficient and innovative use of technology and AI to the collection, search, document review, privilege review, and privilege log issues, as well as the creation and implementation of protocols to enable clients to balance risk, compliance, and costs in the most efficient way possible. We routinely consult with client in-house IT departments on effective and defensible collection strategies. We also help clients develop practical and reasonable legal hold plans and develop litigation readiness plans to ensure the discovery efforts are focused on the data that is likely to be relevant to the claims and defenses in the case.

Our team is equally adept at managing cases and other matters from beginning to end, including helping clients with the impact of AI on discovery. We focus on each client’s individual needs and help our clients navigate all available options based on client-specific technology infrastructure, objectives for reducing costs and other legal and business goals.

From the onset of a case, we help our clients develop a comprehensive e-discovery plan that is proportional to the issues and amount at stake in the litigation so that we can determine what information needs to be preserved and collected and what does not. This allows the litigation team to focus on the data that matters, which significantly reduces the burdens and overall costs of e-discovery.

Advocacy

We strive to help clients avoid unnecessary discovery conflicts, but are ready to take on discovery battles should they arise. Our experienced litigators help clients negotiate e-discovery stipulations that govern the information that needs to be preserved, the scope of discovery and how information is produced in a case. Our team has an in-depth understanding of e-discovery law and will hold the line when the burden or expense of the proposed discovery outweighs its likely benefit.

Our team includes litigators who have taken cases to trial and they recognize that focusing on the data that’s really at issue in the case is critically important to helping our clients not only save time and money, but ultimately prevail in the litigation.
