Ryley Carlock & Applewhite is a leading law firm which serves as
e-Discovery counsel for clients nationally. We operate secure Document Review and Litigation Support Centers, located in Michigan and Arizona, serving some of the world's largest companies and law firms. Today we offer a comprehensive 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,
 Smart Review, and defensible processes. The program provides single price bids for end-to-end discovery projects and single point billing solutions.
The firm leverages its seven 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 
case load 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. The 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 and risk protection 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 seven years, 
participating significantly in the Sedona Conference for years; and seeking 
intelligent solutions for companies and law firms. "I³" represents 
integrity, innovation and intelligence.
