A modern lawyer’s guide to electronic evidence in litigation and investigations
With legal work moving almost entirely to the digital space, it is now necessary to virtually exchange information, review documents, and collaborate with team members. This shift has made electronic discovery, ediscovery for short, a prevalent component of the litigation process. Ediscovery is the sharing and reviewing of electronically stored information (ESI) during the discovery process. Electronic data that falls under the discoverable ESI label include the following: metadata, audio and video (A/V) files, accounting databases, electronic documents, voicemail, instant messaging chats, emails, and information on social media platforms and websites.
Everlaw is a cloud-based ediscovery platform that enables teams to collaboratively discover information, illuminate its underlying structure, and act on those insights. Built with legal professionals in mind, Everlaw streamlines the ediscovery process by automating tasks that previously required manual intervention, resulting in lower costs while improving the efficiency and quality of legal work. This means that legal teams can utilize this ediscovery technology to create greater efficiency in their review while ensuring consistency, ultimately lowering costs.
An internal investigation occurs when there is employee or human resources wrongdoing, an intellectual property dispute, or a regulatory compliance inquiry. Everlaw helps facilitate these investigations by assisting investigators to efficiently locate and organize relevant evidence and build a compelling narrative.
Obtaining and supplying documents through the FOIA can be difficult, and the backlog of public records requests continues to grow. Additionally, processing DSARs while ensuring CCPA compliance can be tedious. Everlaw helps a complex process run smoother by giving agencies and journalists the freedom to pursue and comply with FOIA requests.
After a lengthy review, the situation gets more challenging when teams move on to crafting timelines, argument outlines, and lists of questions. Everlaw’s Storybuilder enables teams to collaboratively organize relevant documents into a compelling body of evidence on the same unified platform where the review took place.
An easy-to-use ediscovery platform that protects sensitive client data and enables cohesive work across all phases of ediscovery, from document review to trial preparations, is essential for practicing the law remotely.
Internal legal teams have critical functions within corporations, such as conducting internal investigations, which require an ediscovery platform with technology that streamlines all aspects of the litigation and investigations process, from uploads to processing and review to analytics.
State and local entities are dealing with growing data sizes and more demanding workloads. As a result, an ediscovery platform with predictable pricing and modern document discovery technology is needed to handle everything from FOIA requests to complex litigation.
Smart, intuitive cloud-native ediscovery technology means federal agencies no longer need to focus on managing storage and servers or spend time upgrading outdated tools. Agencies can work self-sufficiently from processing through post-review collaboration on one integrated platform.
