e-Discovery
Staying on top of the complexities of e-Discovery and emerging technologies is challenging. TechLaw Solutions specializes in staying abreast of emerging technologies while offering a full range of services to help manage the e-Discovery process.
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.
Incorporating Venio, powered by TechLaw Solutions, is designed to help law firms with electronic discovery efforts by enhancing the first pass review process, resulting in more focused data to further examine, which in turn significantly improves the final review. The visually driven interface and familiar linear process facilitate quick deployment so that attorneys have more time to focus on the review of data rather than the set-up and usability of software. Furthermore, deploying ECA in a “cloud-style” environment eliminates the cost burden of having to buy and manage additional hardware and associated staff.
Social network mapping provides attorney’s the ability to examine all potential custodians for a case, both validating and accelerating the process of evidence gathering. Studies have shown that incorporating ECA contributes to favorable outcomes in more than 75% of cases, undoubtedly enhancing client satisfaction. Law firms will quickly see that Venio, powered by TechLaw Solutions, offers many functions and techniques to empower attorneys with the ability to reduce data size and overall turnaround time, which results in providing clients a higher level of service and a significant return on investment.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 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, is continually updated and enhanced, providing accurate and cost effective processing of ESI for review or production.
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.
