For ongoing litigation and future cases, IE Discovery's project management team can help you develop a Comprehensive Discovery Management strategy.
The benefit to you?
A thorough plan for managing your discovery process reduces the number of logistical issues as litigation progresses, while a thorough review of litigation strategies results in significant process improvements and savings. Our team works with your organization to centralize information, increase control over compressed litigation time frames, and reduce expenses and risks of spoliation claims. Some of the planning services we offer include:
Discovery Diagnosis™
Our team of experts provides an assessment of current Discovery Management practices within your organization through in-person and telephone interviews, administration of surveys, and review of any written policies and procedures. Recommendations for improvement are then provided via presentation and written report to help you realize greater efficiencies, cost savings, accuracy, and control over information. This enables your organization to quickly implement improvements in managing discovery efforts.
Discovery Management Analysis & Planning
IE Discovery analyzes existing processes within your organization and works with you to create and modify standard processes for collecting, processing, reviewing, and producing paper and electronic information as needed.
Matter-Specific Discovery Project Planning
We work with your organization to develop discovery strategies customized to support your specific litigation matters. Planning services include meet-and-confer consulting, review of pleadings and requests, interviews with responsible counsel, and identification of potential information sources. These activities culminate with a written project plan and detailed statement of work that includes definition of scope, timeline of deliverables, and projected budget. This prepares your organization to respond to discovery requests in an efficient and well-organized manner.
Ongoing Project Management
Discovery is a complex process requiring numerous parties (internal and external) to collect, review and produce responsive information. IE Discovery’s project management team offers clients a wealth of experience and capabilities, and can marshal various legal, technical and document specialist resources as needed to provide efficient and effective services to our clients. Our project managers provide ongoing oversight and reporting of frequently changing project milestones through periodic verbal and written updates to ensure deadlines are met, and budgets are adhered to.
