e-Discovery
e-Discovery cost containment continues to be a high priority for many corporate legal departments. TechLaw Solutions offers a full range of services to help manage costs by bringing e-Discovery tools and capabilities in-house and reducing the amount of ESI that requires review.
e-Discovery services include:
Early Case Assessment
Early Case Assessment (ECA) provides attorneys and their litigation support teams the ability to analyze case related data to formulate and explore potential strategies at the outset of the electronic discovery process. Effective analysis leads directly to significant data reduction and therefore less time needing to be spent on traditional data review.
Incorporating Venio, powered by TechLaw Solutions, corporate legal clients can focus on reducing the time and cost of final review through the opportunity to examine and manage data in a “first pass review” process. Applying ECA in a “cloud-style” environment enables corporations to keep their intellectual property in house, reducing potential exposure of sensitive information and allowing outside counsel to focus solely on the responsive data related to the case. Social network mapping provides the ability to assess all required custodians related to the particular case. The visually driven interface and familiar linear process facilitate quick deployment so that attorneys and internal IT departments have more time to focus on the collection and review of their data rather than set-up and usability of software. TechLaw Solutions consulting experts add additional value by providing valuable insight into techniques to be used conducting early case assessment and throughout the e-Discovery process.Learn More

Processing
Properly processing ESI is critical in the e-Discovery lifecycle. Utilizing the appropriate technology can reduce electronic document collections by as much as 85%; speeding processing and reducing the amount of professional time required reviewing data collections.
Early on TechLaw Solutions recognized the need for premier electronic processing technology. Lexposé™, originally developed by TechLaw Solutions in 1999, and continually updated and enhanced, provides accurate and cost effective processing of ESI for review or production. Using Lexposé, TechLaw Solutions consultants filter ESI using multiple sets of criteria.
Data is routinely filtered by keyword and/or by file creation / file modification date to eliminate documents that do not meet threshold relevance criteria. Duplicate files are identified using the MD5 hash algorithm, which gives every file a unique “digital fingerprint” that can quickly be compared to other documents.

Production
As review progresses and responsive data needs to be produced, production sets can easily be created on the reviewer’s site by ‘tagging’ all relevant items with a unique value. Once tagged, the production team runs quality assurance processes to ensure the document collections are compiled properly. Upon finalization, the production sets move forward to processing.
Production images can be augmented with Bates numbers, stamps (e.g., confidential), and other disclaimers. Delivery media includes CD, DVD, hard drive and other client specified formats.
All produced data can be loaded back into your hosted review system, exported to trial preparation systems, and managed for trial preparation.
