Electronic Discovery
Electronic Discovery has evolved significantly over the last decade and will only continue to be a key aspect of the discovery process.
E-discovery and the need for skilled professionals to handle it is ever increasing. Handing of e-discovery is complicated by the lack of uniform handling of obligations between jurisdictions, the increased accessibility and use of electronic devices, the rate at which ESI is generated, and the rapid pace at which advancements in technology have and continue to be achieved.
Fox Smith’s E-Discovery Team is comprised of skilled attorneys supported by seasoned support personnel and led by an experienced litigator who is also independently certified. The depth of our team is a recognition of our clients’ need for counsel knowledgeable not only of the ever-changing law governing e-discovery, but also the processes necessary for defensible and efficient identification, preservation, collection, review, and production of ESI.
In our view (one borne of wide experience), an efficient process begins by working closely with our clients and their professionals to minimize costs associated with preservation and collection. We have the experience to recognize and adapt to issues that may arise at each stage of a case or project.
Our clients rely on our team to manage effectively the risks inherent to e-discovery, and help them deliver successful, repeatable, and defensible results. Further, our team frequently advises clients on policies and procedures to proactively address document management and litigation preparedness, including the design and implementation of strategies and solutions to ease the burden of future discovery.
