Challenges in modern eDiscovery
Legal professionals face ever-increasing challenges when faced with discovery requests.
Data volume and sources continue to grow at a voluminous rate.
Unstructured and unmapped data leading to significant risk.
Budgets continue to diminish.
The bottom line is data volumes are quickly becoming untenable and while it’s one thing to have access to the latest tools, it is quite another to know how to effectively use them to maximize value.
Smart results start with advanced tools, technology and expertise
When it comes to document review, people often think they can handle it internally but the inefficiencies become apparent quickly and can often lead to issues with accuracy, proportionality and defensibility.
As Jessica Lockett, Director of Revenue & Growth (and previous Director of Review Services), Legal Services at Ricoh Canada, noted in an article created in partnership with Canadian Lawyer Magazine:
“It’s table stakes to incorporate advanced analytics tools, like continuous active learning, in any review process…it should be as straightforward as ‘if we have data to collect and review, then we need to use advanced tools and workflows.”
A big reason for the need for advanced analytics is that the vast majority of corporate data lives in unstructured formats. Advanced discovery technologies help address this by identifying relevant documents faster and delivering them via streamlined workflows.
The intersection of advanced analytics and document review services
Advanced tools and technology that speed the document review process certainly help corporate counsel and legal teams. Having a team of experienced review lawyers and technology experts accelerates the process and accuracy, reducing time to completion. After all, learning new tech isn’t the top priority for counsel.
Document review services combine advanced analytics and technology with a team of experts who help facilitate the entire process. The result is eDiscovery document review that produces dramatic results in what is the most pivotal, and often most costly, aspect of litigation.
Document review services enable corporate counsel to perform discovery with greater efficiency, with greater accuracy, and with significantly greater savings in both time and money.
