eDiscovery: Beyond I.T.

• Fines for eDiscovery violations can be massive, often dwarfing even the lawsuits themselves. That's why our eDiscovery process follows forensically sound steps:
• Identify key personnel with access to potentially significant ESI. This ranges from top management, to IT staff, to assistants who handle their boss` email, to third parties with access to the information
• Develop a timeline and data map, pinpointing relevant dates, times and location of data for collection and preservation
• Prioritize the collection process, focusing on the data most at-risk of being changed or overwritten, e.g., documents, email, voice mail, text messages, surveillance video, entry access logs, and backup storage media
• Acquire any computers, storage media, smartphones and other devices needed for forensic examination
• Freeze all data destruction
