ASSESSMENT

When the specter of litigation arises, a firm needs to know potential liabilities as quickly as possible:

  • Potential Defenses
  • Where data are located
  • Probable range of dates
  • Possible holders (custodians) of relevant data
  • AND – What it is all going to cost

Early Case Assessment tools allow you to index and search data before discovery gets rolling. EDDM Consulting Project Managers provide information which allows you to make informed decisions about your data prior to full discovery. We help identify costs, create budgets and timelines associated with a case or internal investigation.

 

In summary, early case assessment allows corporations and law firms to quickly get answers to the key questions of the day:

  • How good or bad is our case?
  • How much exposure are we facing?
  • What is the case worth?
  • What are key terms and date ranges to include in the e-discovery plan?
  • Are we sure that we have identified all the custodians relevant to the case?

Companies can take advantage of today’s powerful analytic tools to create a proactive environment, avoid compliance issues before they arise, and significantly reduce the cost of impending litigation.
