Avoid
sanctions, save your client money and have your choice
of qualified experts to defend the process from preservation
to production. First Advantage brings you
peace of mind in the complex environment of e-discovery.
In today’s post-Zubulake world, the corporate
client is not the only party at risk. Attorneys and
law firms are now potential targets of discovery sanctions.
The courts have shifted the risks to include you, leaving
you with the unenviable task of policing a company
in which you do not work and/or in which you have no
actual or direct line authority. Making matters worse,
its your client, and you want to keep it that way.
We can help.
As an independent expert in the field who has a client
relationship with you, we work with in-house resources
to assure compliance with your discovery requests and
instructions. We help because we gain your client’s
trust by working with in-house personnel wherever and
whenever practical and because we reduce the cost of
discovery almost immediately by using our expertise
to design less onerous, less expensive alternatives
to the opposing party’s discovery requests. Further,
we testify to the court in support of our strategies.
Consulting: Avoid spoliation problems at the inception
of the case by using proper preservation protocols
and techniques. Discover your litigation opponent’s
missing production, and understand and outsmart your
techie witness at deposition and in trial. Defend
the processes used throughout discovery.
Data Collection and Preservation: Avoid business disruption
during the preservation and collection stages, and
use defensible protocols to satisfy the court.
Data Reduction: We use state-of-the-art methods for
searching and reducing non-responsive data.
Data Conversion: We have the capacity for fast and
large file conversion with authenticating testimony,
preservation of metadata and full chain of custody
records.
Data Delivery, Review and Production: We provide or
help clients choose, manage and create appropriate
hosting solutions.
