Despite significant advances in e-discovery technology for culling and minimizing the volume of potentially relevant information during discovery, the attorney review of potentially relevant information is more costly than all other e-discovery costs combined. The sheer volume of potentially relevant information makes a manual document-by-document review virtually impossible in most cases due to cost and time; thus, alternate approaches to document review must be considered.
Flex Discovery’s Managed Review solution integrates the appropriate people, process and technology needed to help minimize the cost, risk and time of the document review process. The solution ensures that clients meet discovery obligations by identifying and producing responsive documents, while also identifying documents that are eligible for withholding on the basis of privilege or confidentiality.
