E-Discovery
Courts have interpreted nonverbal and non-textual communications for a long time, but interpreting those communications these days has become a bigger challenge. Things like emojis and memes can communicate one meaning to one set of individuals, and mean something entirely different to those attempting to interpret that communication. Therefore, courts today have greater difficulty understanding the true meaning of some communications.
Get The GuideThe first quarter of 2020 created a seismic wave of change as the COVID-19 Coronavirus swept the globe and a worldwide pandemic was declared. E-discovery needed to adapt. Courts went virtual and service providers moved entire operations online.
Exterro teamed up with ACEDS to identify and explore the impact of the COVID-19 Coronavirus on the e-discovery industry.
Organisztions can achieve substantial benefits from performing even part of the e-discovery process in-house. They can reduce their external legal spend by relying on in-house teams to preserve, collect, and potentially even review electronically stored information (ESI). They gain transparency and predictability, including the ability to schedule and budget more accurately. And finally, they can reduce risk by ensuring that reasonable, defensible measures are taken promptly in response to potential litigation.

Learn MoreAs the volume and range of data formats expand and organizations adopt new communication channels, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for legal teams to address ediscovery requests promptly. This practical guide looks at how email archiving software can help streamline your eDiscovery efforts and reduce legal costs, all while navigating the increasingly complex regulatory landscape and keeping your organization fully compliant.
DownloadIn-house legal departments and law firms often have a steady flow of small-scale matters, including, but not limited to, subpoenas, employment disputes (e.g., harassment claims, wrongful termination, arbitrations, and policy violations), internal investigations and compliance audits, data privacy inquiries (e.g., Data Subject Access Rights (DSAR) requests) and California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA) inquiries), arbitrations and small litigation (e.g., contract disputes and intellectual property disputes). While individually minor, these recurring legal matters en masse place a continued drain on the legal team’s limited technical support resources that could better be deployed to support larger, more complex eDiscovery matters – such as large-scale litigation, cross-border fraud and investigations, class action suits and the like. This whitepaper explores further why now is the time for legal teams to invest in self-service eDiscovery for smaller matters.
DownloadDepending on who you ask, eDiscovery is an art, a science, or an art AND a science… we lean towards the latter. And if you really want to get into it, we like to think of eDiscovery as a sonnet - poetry made all the more beautiful by the standardization of the structure.

Also known as the Rule 26(f) conference, the meet-and-confer requires opposing parties to cooperatively develop a proposed discovery plan, including a means to limit the scope of discovery and reduce costs. In recent years, technologists have played an increasingly crucial role in the meet-and-confer process.

A comprehensive, repeatable legal hold process is critical for e-discovery defensibility. For this reason, many organizations have wisely moved away from emails and spreadsheets in recent years to more specialized legal hold software products. However, not all legal hold software solutions are created equal. In fact, many products on the market are little more than glorified email systems with few advanced capabilities. Designed for experienced practitioners who are actively involved in managing the legal hold process, this E-Book details ten advanced capabilities that separate true enterprise-class legal hold software solutions from rudimentary legal hold products that aren't capable of delivering a truly defensible process.
