e-Discovery Workflow: Working with e-discovery can be very empowering and provide you with valuable tools to search through data, but identifying how you envision the database performing throughout the life of the case must be considered on the front end. The deadlines that litigators face in the day in-the-life of the firm are quite demanding. Often when the CD's arrive either from the client or opposing counsel, the attorney will run over to someone in IT and say something like, "Just get it in there." But hold on. . . there are several decisions to be made, going all the way back to the request.

The attorney's involvement is crucial and if absent has a rippling negative effect as you move through the different phases of the case. Guessing games by the support staff during these phases prove to be expensive and invite remedies down the line as the attorney eventually comes to understand the data, the volume, what steps are necessary to review it, and production. More importantly, if the attorney is uninformed about how important these decisions are; they are equally uninformed about how to form their request to the other side.

We hold your hand through this process and so that eventually it will feel superfluous to say, "e-discovery" since e-discovery is discovery. E-discovery is just a blend of two professions, legal and IT. It can only work properly when they can work together, have some understanding of each other's profession and communicate effectively. We can give you the confidence you need in a trusted vendor.

e-Discovery Collection We have seen the cases where the data was corrupted due to lack of experience and knowledge about how to retrieve the data. Few firms know that that pursuant to the businesses and Occupations Section of the Professional Licensing Boards Division it is required for a Computer Forensic Firm and technicians to be licensed to perform their services to the public, as the Board is of the position that these services meet the definition of pursuant to OCGA § 43-38-3 (3). This same rule applies in many states.
