Case Study

CHALLENGE

Identify where the clients documents are located, collect and produce them in a short time period and within budget.

SpearTip APPROACH

• Reviewed Case and interviewed client IT staff
• Created a collection plan beginning with first deponents and requests for production
• Collected data from relevant file servers and custodial laptops
• Systematically reviewed documents in stages that fell in line with the case work by initially using broad search terms
• Narrow search queries by knowledge gained by learning the documents , their syntax, and by custodian’s writing and saving habits
• Produce relevant documents and eliminated the eDiscovery spam
• Responded to motions regarding collection techniques while staying within the discovery deadlines

RESULT

• Saved tens of thousands of dollars in processing and reviewing costs
• Decreased document deposition prep time allowing the legal team to focus on the content versus trying to locate the documents
