eDiscovery Overview
The process of E-discovery comprises many actions altogether which begin with litigation and end when the documents are presented in a court of law by both parties. Once litigation is instituted, a legal hold is implemented on both parties.
Under a legal hold, both sides are legally responsible to preserve and retain relevant information and documents in an electronic format. Legal attorneys from both fronts make requests for E-discovery. Once a framework is set, the data from different electronic sources is collected to be presented in court as potential evidence. However, before preserving every document, it is important to determine the relevancy of the documents.
Legal Hold Compliance
Attorneys use various methods for identifying the relevancy of records to ensure that no critical data is lost and that only legally relevant files are processed.
