Electronic Discovery
Identification
Identification involves determining the location, scope, and scale of potentially discoverable ESI (Electronically Stored Information). Among other things, this includes:
-
Determining key players, including non-parties, who may have potentially discoverable records relevant to a particular litigation, within set time frames
-
Locating and securing information from hard drives (work and home computers, external drives, copy/fax machines, etc.), portable storage devices (thumb drives, cell phones, PDAs, etc.), on-line mail servers (Yahoo, Google, etc.), social networking sites (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.), that may contain relevant information
-
Isolating email messages and attachments, word processing documents, spreadsheets, databases, pictures, audio / video files, etc. for preservation and processing
-
Deciding whether digital forensics is needed to capture deleted data, to prevent spoliation, and to preserve the integrity of evidence
How 
Can Help
-
Assign a dedicated project manager to your case who will be your primary contact to coordinate all aspects of your project
-
Help identify key custodians and map (diagram) locations of potentially relevant data by issuing and analyzing questionnaires re ESI locations, types, and custodians
-
Accurately determine and report on types and volume of data on drives, disks, and in email stores (using LexisNexis LAW PreDiscovery™ software)
