Investigative Discovery: Using Technology to Build Case Strategy
Lovells is known in the industry as a forward-thinking law firm with proven experience in using technology to provide clients with the best service possible. Clients come to Lovells for discovery design that delivers on the promise of controlling the high costs and exorbitant time commitments of preparing for litigation. We work to accurately match technology to each unique legal situation based on a variety of factors, such as our clients' role in the litigation, the complexity of the issues and the amount of information being reviewed.
During a recent assignment, we were asked to assist a client in evaluating potential litigation involving conspiracy and fraud claims arising out of a complex multi-party transaction. For the task, the client arranged for us to have access to approximately 35 gigabytes of e-mail data restored from a critical time period. With the equivalent of approximately 2 million pages needing review, we immediately faced two contradictory challenges. First, how to effectively review a large body of data in a short time while keeping staffing tight and costs down. Second, and equally important, how to leverage our existing knowledge of the issues to identify and drill down deep into significant documents, test our legal theories and strengthen the strategic recommendation our client was seeking.
