Ryley Carlock & Applewhite is a leading law firm which serves as
e-Discovery counsel for clients nationally. For the past six years, we
have operated a secure, fifteen-thousand-square- foot review and litigation
unbundling center (see: www.legalonramp.com), serving some of the world's
largest companies. Today we offer a comprehensive new offering for
litigation departments faced with ever-mounting litigation fees. 



The program, dubbed "I³" enables litigation departments or outside law
firms to have a single source solution and point of contact throughout the
collection, processing review and production of the e-Discovery process.
Under the umbrella of the firm's e-Discovery counsel, this single point
solution provides clarity in pricing, expert project management,
SmartReview, and defensible processes. The program provides single price
bids for end-to-end discovery projects and single point billing solutions.
The firm leverages its six years' experience in the evolving electronic
discovery marketplace to match solution providers to projects, optimizing
both price and performance. 



 

How I³ Works



Companies in litigation, or law firms contemplating a case, or in search
of a better enterprise-wide e-Discovery solution, can contact a shareholder
in Ryley Carlock's Document Control Group. The group assesses the matter
and makes recommendations or bids on the entire project, end-to-end, based
on matching the right providers to the unique aspects of the case (or
caseload for master service agreements), while serving as e-Discovery
counsel. The firm then puts together an action plan which maximizes the
value for the company, and the effectiveness of trial counsel, by making
all aspects of the process clearly defined, clearly managed, and
consistently communicated. 



The Document Control Group assists clients even further to the left of the
EDRM model. He firm works on records and document retention plans and
continuous compliance of leading U.S. Companies. I³ brings all the
elements of the process in one place. Clients can better predict costs and
see what is occurring with clarity.


Under I³, Ryley Carlock works in tandem with the litigation team to
efficiently find the right documents they need, presents them in a most
useful format, and does it in compliance with emerging e-Discovery law in a
defensible manner. 



Cost savings in discovery could be up to 30 percent in many matters and
even more significant savings will come to companies who select the
solution over multiple matters or jurisdictions. Time in review is often
reduced by up to 40 percent over traditional approaches. Clarity on price
will strengthen the client and the law firm's side in all matters related
to discovery and enable better planning and budgeting.

 

Why I³ Works

Ryley Carlock brings to the e-Discovery marketplace the integrity of a
60-year-old leading regional law firm. The firm embraced e-Discovery as
part of the process of solving a key issue for major clients, and has been
innovating its approach for six years, contributing the definitive annual
report on e-Discovery to Law Technology News in 2008 and 2009;
participating significantly in the Sedona Conference for years; and seeking
intelligent solutions for companies and law firms. "I³" represents
integrity, innovation and intelligence.
