Forensic Technology
Overview
Our in-house forensic technology team provides the capability for data and documentation to be reviewed and hosted using our in-house eDisclosure platform. We operate a computerised litigation support system which enables the creation of a database that holds all documentation that have been produced by our client and by other parties to the litigation. Our document database allows:
- a speedy and effective forensic examination of the documents;
- open access for our client;
- appropriate access for experts and Counsel; and
- assisting in the preparation of witness evidence.
Meet The Team
Experience
In defending an international anti-trust follow-on damages action we were provided with 100GB of data, comprising some 400,000 documents, on a Friday afternoon. Our committed team of Forensic Technology professionals worked over the weekend to create a fully searchable (and deduplicated) database of documents that was available for the review of the legal team on Monday morning. We used technology assisted review (analytics, clustering and predictive coding) to prioritise the review of those documents most likely to be relevant to the dispute and to quality control the document review exercise.
How did our client benefit?
Processing and hosting the data in-house ensured a seamless service with no risk of data loss through the involvement of a third party. Our client also benefitted from significant cost savings. A favourable settlement was achieved, with the client now being a confirmed advocate for the use of technology in the eDisclosure process.
