eDiscovery

Electronic information is different from paper information because of its intangible form, volume, transience, and persistence. Also, electronic information is usually accompanied by metadata, which is rarely present in paper information. Electronic discovery poses new challenges and opportunities for attorneys, their clients, technical advisors, and the courts, as electronic information is collected, reviewed and produced. Electronic discovery is the subject of amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which were effective December 1, 2006. 

No two eDiscovery cases are alike. LuciData's goal is to educate and assist corporate clients and law firms in understanding the complex issues associated with eDiscovery and how it may impact a particular case or legal action.  Not understanding this process can negatively impact the success collecting ESI and analyzing it for further information. LuciData partners with our clients to develop strategies and solutions that best fit the situation.  Some of the areas that LuciData can assist:

• Data Mapping and Risk Profiling - In preparation for future or ensuing litigation, LuciData can help you with data mapping and data risk assessments, making recommendations to help you mitigate your discovery risks and costs.

• Native File Processing - Our electronic discovery digital workflow for collecting, synthesizing and presenting electronically stored information helps our clients search, organize, and cull data faster.

• Near De-duplication - Identifying and grouping documents that are similar, although not necessarily identical, can substantially reduce the cost and increase the speed in which documents are reviewed. Typically near duplicate documents comprise 30 - 40% of a document population; grouping these records together creates “pockets” of information that are easily identified and organized.  Near de-duplication works by generating linguistic profiles of the terms used in each document. These profiles are then used to group documents based on a user-controlled threshold of similarity.

• Contextual Search

   

  - Contextual search injects expanded search and navigation capabilities by comparing the linquistic patterns of blocks of text, selected by users, to linguistic patterns of every page of every document in a document population. With contextual search, users can quickly craft and execute searches that test current or hypothetical scenarios/theories, evaluate claims and ensure consistent privilege claims. Because contextual search is so simple to use, there is a low learning-curve and user.
