E-Disclosure for Enterprise Legal

Given the increasing frequency of litigation, internal investigations, and regulatory inquiries and the tremendous growth in electronically stored information (ESI), legal teams are challenged with an ever-expanding e-disclosure workload while simultaneously facing pressure to control costs. As a result, streamlining data collections, rapidly analysing large volumes of ESI to perform early case assessments, quickly culling data down to the relevant ESI, and performing rapid review are critical tasks in today's corporate litigation process.

The traditional e-disclosure process is fraught with delays, business risk, and increased cost. Legal and IT find it difficult to collaborate due to the proliferation of multiple tools for various stages of the process. The inability to rapidly analyse ESI causes significant delays in early case assessments, thereby increasing the risk of choosing the wrong strategy. Moreover, ineffective cull-down of ESI causes more documents to be processed and reviewed, further increasing costs. Faced together, these challenges have prompted legal teams to pursue a more repeatable and defensible approach to e-disclosure that reduces business risk, lowers costs, and improves case outcomes.
