Their deep field experience and knowledge of both litigation and technology ensure that your projects run smoothly.

When BYOD Backfires
BYOD policies allow employees to use personal devices to access the organization’s data in the pursuit of doing their jobs. Cost-savings and convenience aside, misunderstandings surrounding BYOD policies are driving a steady stream of litigation and investigations. Do the risks outweigh the benefits?
Conducting Remote Data Collections for eDiscovery in the Era of Social Distancing
COVID-19 has disrupted almost all normal business practices, making many activities challenging to handle virtually. Fortunately, eDiscovery can largely continue on pace, thanks to technology and remote collection workflows. Shifting to fully remote or socially distanced collections, whether to accommodate shelter-in-place orders or employee safety concerns, is achievable in most circumstances.
Managing Pre-Litigation Investigations for the Best Results
Long before starting formal discovery, an internal investigation should be launched so a party and their counsel can understand and assess the information ecosystem, identify sources of potentially relevant information and examine these sources via sampling. Although a litigant may not be required to produce the information found, it is crucial that pre-litigation investigation be handled appropriately to ensure it is accurate.
