Think About eDiscovery Before You're Sued

A recent Legaltech news article, Preparing for eDiscovery, makes a great point. One of the most important steps in managing a litigation matter is effectively handling ESI (electronically stored information). Taking steps now to prepare for eDiscovery can potentially save significant time and money later. I like that the article also suggested thinking about eDiscovery in three stages: (1) prior to litigation; (2) anticipating litigation; and (3) during litigation. The authors offer some important insights about each stage, particularly one related to stage three. This concerns how “predictive coding” is quickly gaining acceptance as a smart, efficient approach to document review.

Canon Business Process Services helps legal professionals leverage this smart approach. Our CaseData® web-based document review offers SmartReview predictive coding. With this feature CaseData can help organizations increase accuracy while reducing the time and expense of document review.
