The eDiscovery Timeline

IDENTIFICATION OF DOCUMENT SOURCES
ELMS work with you and the client to discover the document forest – who was involved, what systems did they use, are there any risk with those systems and where things might be hiding.

COLLECTION
ELMS carefully extract the documents from the forest, making sure never to forget where they came from.

PREPARATION OF PROTOCOL FOR THE EXCHANGE OF ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTS
With you, ELMS write the rules for the ongoing handling of the documents with other parties involved. These rules are important, and we want to make sure you understand their implications.

PROCESSING OF DOCUMENTS
ELMS processes the document in accordance with the rules and removes the duplicates so we can save you some time along the way.

LITIGATION DATABASE SETUP
ELMS put the documents into the litigation database and gets your team ready to start review.
