BakerHostetler’s E-Discovery Advocacy and Management team helps clients reduce discovery costs and tackle the unique challenges associated with the preservation, harvesting, review, production and management of electronic information.
How do our clients benefit?
- We help clients sleep at night – easing anxiety about a major component of litigation that continues to grow in complexity.
- We offer a targeted, multidisciplinary approach that covers all the relevant aspects of data management (discovery, information governance, data privacy) and deliver a complete solution to address any concerns in connection with litigation and investigations.
- Reducing costs while maintaining defensibility is our top priority:
- We mitigate the exponential increases in data volume and data sources by implementing tailored litigation holds.
- Our discovery advocacy has cut client costs in a single case by more than $1 million.
- Our staged discovery can reduce the number of custodians reviewed to less than 10 percent of those “on hold.”
- We have negotiated limits to the types and locations of data that will be collected, processed and reviewed – which further reduces costs.
- The application and use of innovative technology-assisted review tools replace weeks of contract attorney review with a few days of iterative machine learning led by one or two members of the case team.
- Our disciplined project management reduces vendor costs, even for clients that already have sophisticated in-house discovery capabilities. We can also assist clients in negotiating favorable vendor services agreements and help revise master services arrangements in place.
- Clients with defensible discovery processes and documentation are on the offense – not defense – in litigation.
- Our expertise and confidence, as well as our ability to break down complex technological issues, send a message to opponents and courts that the discovery process is under control.
