- Discussion of Data Collection: This conversation will include the specifics of the data collection referenced in the RFP, highlighting the importance of understanding the data and its relevance to the case;
- Workflow Strategies: The presentation will explore commonly employed workflows by advanced law firms for initial analysis and data culling, which is a crucial step before the review stage; and
- Adapting to Data Knowledge and Relevance: Emphasis will be placed on how slight alterations in the knowledge of the collected data, or changes in the expected level of relevance for production, can significantly impact the choice of workflow for an effective and efficient discovery and review process.
This presentation is designed to equip participants with the knowledge necessary to navigate the complexities of ESI in the realm of legal discovery, regardless of their current level of expertise.
