A Preemptive ESI archiving strategy enables effective Early Case Assessment

Civil litigation, especially around employment and contract issues, is a huge problem in these difficult times. A large share of the cost of corporate litigation is the cost of finding and reviewing ESI for both early case assessment as well as your response to the discovery request. ESI can hide anywhere in a corporate infrastructure. Custodian workstations, network share drives, USB thumb drives, CD/DVDs, iPods etc. A centrally managed and fully indexed archive can speed the collection and review of potentially responsive records for early case assessment as well as more fully control and insure the placement of litigations holds.

No matter the size of the case, the first step in addressing the case when you are faced with litigation is whether you have any actual liability. If you have not prepared an ESI collection strategy ahead of time, how will you be able to determine if the case has merit? Should you settle or fight? This presentation will discuss how proactively planning for ESI discovery will dramatically enhance your early case assessment potential as well as reduce your discovery risk and cost.
