The Smart Review

Our core team consists of licensed lawyers who are employees of the firm,
and who have largely been working together on discovery matters for several
years. They are hired by the law firm and are vetted just as any law firm
associate or shareholder would be. We follow modern project management
processes, which enable this qualified team to add value along the way of
each review under the direction of the litigation team. The review team can
prepare litigation and deposition notebooks or provide whatever support
best serves the litigators. We find this "Smart" approach improves the
accuracy of time estimates, builds stronger cases, and eliminates waste and
excessive spend.

Here is how we do it:

Project understanding / planning:

• Meet with litigation counsel, inside counsel, and IT to identify custodians and data sources
• Strategize to create useful, defensible data filters that help eliminate irrelevant data
• Assemble background information on the litigation or potential litigation, or inquiry
• Create a detailed project memo that incorporates pertinent documents, including copies of complaint, answer, requests for production, interrogatories, etc.
• Facilitate extensive training between litigation counsel and review team

Coordinate collection, processing, and production vendors and oversee all aspects of migration of ESI to and among each, and all aspects of production:

• Work with vendors to ensure all data processing reports are consistent with the data collection reports
• Ensure document production meets requirements of court orders and/or party agreements 

Oversee total project management, applying fundamental project management principles to properly:

• Designate a team of fully trained, experienced review attorneys
• Match individual attorney subject matter expertise with each case profile
• Meet deadlines
• Comply with budgetary obligations
• Achieve utmost quality
• Offer competitive pricing with no hidden costs
