Document Management, Hosting, and Consulting

Issue Discovery provides Relativity and CD Disco for hosting the processed data where legal teams can conduct reviews. This includes:

Review Management

Using review software where attorneys can tag, code, and annotate documents for relevance, privilege, or other criteria.

Production

Preparing documents for production in legal proceedings, which involves exporting documents in required formats, redacting sensitive information, and applying Bates numbering.

Hosting

Secure storage and accessibility of documents during the review phase, often with features like user access controls, audit trails, and real-time collaboration capabilities.

Data Collection and Preservation

This involves gathering electronic data from various sources such as emails, documents, databases, and social media. Vendors use specialized tools to ensure that data is preserved in a legally defensible manner, maintaining its integrity and chain of custody. This service is crucial for preventing data spoliation and ensuring that all relevant data is captured for legal proceedings or compliance audits.

Data Processing and Analytics

After collection, the data often needs to be processed to convert it into a searchable format. This includes deduplication (removing duplicate documents), file type normalization, and indexing for search capabilities. Advanced analytics might also be applied here, such as email threading, concept searching, and predictive coding to identify relevant information more efficiently. This step prepares the data for review by reducing the volume and highlighting key information.
