eDiscovery
What starts out as a legal problem, very quickly becomes a hunt
for information – who said what to whom, where that information is
located, and how to keep control of it when it can be moved around
internationally, indiscriminately and at lightning speed. So how
can lawyers make business decisions when the one piece of
potentially critical information that they may need, is buried in a
myriad of growing and disparate electronic data sources.
Add to that, in the case of an investigation, the time pressures
and possible fines imposed by regulators for not complying with
their disclosure requirements and lawyers can find themselves under
a great deal of pressure.
How we can help
Grant Thornton’s eDiscovery team regularly work with corporates
to help them quickly identify where the most critical information
resides. Our tools can sift, de-duplicate, categorise and search by
date, named person(s), keywords and concepts – quickly reducing
data sets down into a highly relevant document ready for final
review and disclosure.
With legal review being the single largest cost to corporates in
this process, our eDiscovery team ensure time is spent focusing on
the most critical information – reducing review time and cost, with
the ultimate aim of assisting in getting the right result for the
business.
