Optimizing Top-Level Data Discovery Skills and Software

Now that electronic records are considered equivalent to paper records in the discovery process for regulatory compliance or legal cases, it can be a daunting task to accurately sift through the huge amounts of potentially responsive material. STEEL Litigation will partner with you in meeting e-discovery requests quickly, accurately, and with the attention to detail that is required in legal document processing. Your project manager will monitor the process every step of the way and will always be available to you.

E-discovery is a process that includes converting electronic documents and email into a collection of “discoverable” documents for litigation. It involves both software and a process that searches and indexes files on hard drives or other electronic media.

Given the abundance and diversity of Electronically Stored Information (ESI) in today’s digital world, having the capability to standardize all ESI in preferred file formats is a must for law firms and corporations dealing with the stringent requirements of electronic discovery requests.
