As the scope of regulatory enforcement widens,
electronic discovery is no longer something that
organisations can ignore or delegate to their
IT function.
Recent amendments to the US Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure and the Civil Procedure
Rules in England & Wales, as well as some
landmark judgements on both sides of the Atlantic
have made electronic discovery a critical component
in information risk management.
Where courts once
were likely to accept that incompetence or computer
problems might be to blame for failure to keep
or produce electronic records, they are now apt
to rule that such failure is prima facie proof
of deception.
We understand the
commercial impetus to reduce costs whilst improving
competitive advantage. Our consultants have real
world litigation and business experience which
allows them to guide your e-discovery efforts
to focus on the production of relevant and admissible
e-evidence, using judicially accepted methods.
