Lawyers commonly use Joint Experts (e.g. appraisers) in many types of cases. Why not use a Joint Expert for Electronic Discovery?
Discovery Protocol
As Joint (neutral) e-Discovery Experts, we assist the lawyers with the planning and implementation of a Discovery Protocol. A Discovery Protocol helps retrieve the electronically stored information (ESI) you need and helps define and limit the scope of discovery.
- Defines a begin date and end date filter;
- List the phones, email accounts, computers, and social media accounts for collection;
- List of data types you need (e.g. text messages, emails, photos, voicemails, and computer files);
- Limit text messages and emails to or from certain people;
- Limit the information by search terms and phrases;
- Cull privileged communications; and
- Specifies the method of production.
As your Joint Expert, we implement your Discovery Protocol to collect, cull, and prepare electronically stored information (ESI) for legal review. Of course, attorney-client and other privileged communications are excluded from information provided for legal review or productions
