SERVICE DESCRIPTION

Electronic discovery (eDiscovery) refers to the discovery of electronic files in civil litigation or government investigations dealing with the exchange of information. eDiscovery is essentially the collection of a large volume of data from a large number of hard drives and/or other storage media. Typical files collected during eDiscovery investigations vary from emails, documents, databases, PowerPoints, etc. Having provided our electronic discovery services to numerous multinational corporations as well as law firms, we have the necessary hardware, software and manpower to handle any eDiscovery request.

We are capable of processing terabytes of email archives in a very short period of time using our state-of-the-art storage and processing servers and we do not charge per Gigabyte. We possess enterprise-class forensic tools that eliminate the need to travel to multiple locations to image computers or retrieve relevant data from servers.

Collection, Processing & Production

This service is applicable to any litigation matter wherein electronic discovery production is necessary. According to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the responding party must produce electronically stored information either in the form in which it is ordinarily maintained or in a form that is reasonably usable. Approximately 97% of all business records are stored electronically. We can assist you with the processing and production of electronically stored information (“ESI”) and provide support using our eDiscovery playbook.

CYBER DILIGENCE - eDISCOVERY SERVICES

eDiscovery Consulting

This service is applicable to any litigation matter where electronic discovery production is necessary. Considering that 97% of all business records are kept electronically, you need to understand your client’s IT systems to properly identify, preserve, collect and produce relevant ESI. In addition, you must understand the opposing party’s IT systems to ask for and receive all the relevant ESI you are entitled to. Cyber Diligence can provide you with the comprehensive technical and legal strategies you need whether you are the requesting or responding party in discovery.

eDISCOVERY CONSULTING

Pre-Litigation Guidance

  • Provide guidance on duty to preserve and “litigation hold” as soon as litigation is reasonably anticipated.
  • Help implement auditable “litigation hold” procedures to avoid pre-collection spoliation (i.e. suspend all document retention policies and procedures and suspend back-up tape rotations) and perform audits to ensure “litigation hold” is enforced.

eDISCOVERY CONSULTING

Litigation Support

  • Understand your client’s IT infrastructure to identify relevant ESI for production.
  • Assist in overall discovery strategy, including development of language in the document request which identifies relevant ESI with pinpoint accuracy.
  • Assist in a responding party’s strategy, including identifying and collecting responsive ESI and minimizing privilege review time and expense.
  • Develop a two-tier approach to obtain ESI consisting of 1) easily accessible, and 2) inaccessible (“burdensome”).

eDISCOVERY CONSULTING

Meet and Confer

  • Query the opposing party’s technical staff regarding their IT infrastructure.
  • Assess the validity of technical arguments made by the opposing party’s technical staff regarding the availability of ESI.
  • Assist in developing an agreeable identification, preservation, collection, search, and production methodology.
  • Provide technical assistance with “not readily accessible ESI” and “cost shifting” issues.
