| Litigation: Support & Preparation |

 

Organizations can spend as much as 5% of gross revenue on litigation, much of that cost focused on discovery.   Our consultants have been enabling discovery services since 1991.  We have developed methodologies that meet all the current discovery requirements and simultaneously meet compliance, eliminate redundancy and reduce costs.

The new Rules of Civil Procedure, primarily affecting Electronic Discovery practices, went into effect as of December 1, 2006. These rules require counsel to know what they have, what they will need to prove/defend their position, what can be produced and the format for production - all within the first 30 to 90 days of a claim. Those left unprepared may be subjected to hefty fines and even incarceration.

Whether you are a law firm or a business, we can help you lower or avoid expensive litigation discovery costs and actually increase your organization's bottom line at the same time.

   Be Prepared
   Consulting Services
 
 

Wouldn’t your organization prefer to spend the first 30 days thinking about how to win a case and not calling in outsiders to help get a discovery plan together?

We have been able to reduce up to 70% of electronic discovery costs and related forensic services by enabling companies to prepare and simulate litigious events.  The process starts with internal IT all the way through trial.  

Our associates are all highly credentialed and experienced specialists in the areas of Information Technology Audit and Control, Technology Security, Application Architecture, Records Management and a multitude of industry specific applications and transaction processes. 

Futhermore, we work both sides of the fence.  We have protected corporate interests during legal and audit investigations.  Conversely, we have performed corporate and private investigations for breach of contract, identity theft, HIPAA compliance, medical malpractice, financial / securities fraud, and many, many more.
 

 

 

The focus is not just on litigation, but about building the benefit of being FRCP prepared into the entire organization's IT strategy.  When data and associated transactional processes are identified and documented, redundancy  of information stores including storage costs may be reduced, in turn this could increase cross divisional synergies and significantly decrease security risks.
