Discovery Consulting

A Streamlined Process is Vital. In order to respond to your discovery requirements and obligations imposed by litigation, it is first necessary to understand what that invoiStock_000002326487Smalllves. While some corporate teams understand e-discovery, their processes might require some fine-tuning. iDS' team of Experts and Consultants are well-versed in responding to discovery requirements. Our team is composed of former members of General Counsel, Litigation Support teams of AMLAW 100 firms, National Directors of E-Discovery consulting firms, Former SEC Forensic Investigators, and Compliance Directors within multinational organizations. This gives us the unique ability to provide solutions that have been vetted by individuals of diverse background with a diverse perspective.

When you engage iDS, we build you a project team that will address your specific requirements. While our entire team understands the necessary components of the e-discovery life cycle, your situation might, for example, require more policy creation versus policy modification. Based upon the distinctiveness of your requirements, your iDS project team will be tailored to fit those needs in order to appropriately address your legal obligations, data identification, and preservation, collection, processing, review and production requirements.  All of these elements are also considered in optimizing matter cost containment, risk identification and risk mitigation for your organization. With the application of this program, your team will realize the value in modifying, adopting, or removing certain aspects of your litigation readiness program.

Experience is Like a Good Location. iDS has an average of over 10 years of e-Discovery lifecycle management experience per expert, ranging from legacy mainframe data collection to discovery management for complex multi-district or multinational litigation matters.  This breadth of experience, coupled with testimony by iDS leaders who provide expert opinions and subject matter expertise, provides IDS a competitive advantage on a range of services, including:
