Overview
The problems of document review and electronic discovery for corporations and law firms have become well known in recent years. Companies and law firms have faced major challenges and costs in preserving, reviewing and producing electronic and paper information upon notice of litigation or a government investigation, and have faced heightened requirements to defend their discovery policies and procedures with judges and regulators in the United States.
Discovery Services LLC ("DSL") assists corporate legal departments and law firms with document review, electronic discovery, the management of discovery in lawsuits and investigations, and the development of policies and procedures for electronic discovery and records management. DSL delivers document review services primarily through review centers located in Chicago, New York, Washington, D.C., and elsewhere in the United States.
DSL provides corporate legal departments and law firms with substantial advantages with respect to document review and electronic discovery services:
1
|
DSL provides document review services pursuant to comprehensive quality control and validation procedures. These procedures include, among other things, protocols to maximize consistent and accurate judgments by reviewers with respect to relevance, privilege, and issue codes, and to minimize reviewer turnover during and across projects. DSL provides, in appropriate matters, expert validation and defense of process services, either on a consulting or testimonial basis.
|
2
|
DSL provides document review and electronic discovery services pursuant to flat, per gigabyte or per document pricing. In contrast to an approach to document review and electronic discovery based on hourly pricing, the DSL approach encourages efficiency and reduces the overall cost of the project for the corporate legal department or law firm, and provides more predictability of costs.
