Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP

Keeping pace with rapidly evolving technology, Taft provides electronic discovery (“e-Discovery”) services, comprehensive information and records management and litigation readiness to clients facing complex investigations and potential litigation. Electronically stored information (“ESI”) presents new, multifaceted challenges to the discovery process that did not exist in traditional paper discovery, including new rules, evolving case law, expanding sources of data and greater volume of data.

We’ve applied Taft’s proven due diligence process of identifying, collecting, preserving and processing traditional documents to the enormous universe of ESI. The same critical thinking effectively and efficiently analyzes and manages ESI.

Our clients find that our extensive depth of knowledge and industry-leading software support foundation make an unbeatable combination. Our team of litigation attorneys and paralegals currently utilize the industry’s leading and most flexible e-Discovery review platform, Relativity. Consequently, we are able to render an in-depth and secure review process that streamlines workflow, creates cost efficiencies, meets deadlines and, most importantly, achieves desired results.

Our litigation attorneys and paralegals have the requisite skills to address the critical concerns involved in the e-Discovery process: cost and speed, accuracy, and security.

Cost and Speed
Taft’s investment in and application of groundbreaking e-Discovery technology has tremendously reduced the hours associated with what formerly was a painstaking human review process. Our attorneys are able to analyze mountains of electronic documents that exist in computer networks, mobile devices and cloud storage. Through the use of powerful technology, we deliver significant cost savings to clients without sacrificing comprehensive thoroughness and accuracy.

Accuracy
For each litigation matter, our attorneys “train” the software and make critical determinations up front regarding issues of data relevance, privilege and confidentiality. These decisions are the engines that enable the software to mine the data much more quickly and accurately.

Security
We are able to control the sharing and dissemination of documents by giving clients, related experts and other parties involved in the litigation access to specific documents through a secure and deliberate method. Using our web-based solution, we govern the flow of specific documents to review sources in multiple locations. In collaboration with our clients, we establish parameters and controls to allow access only to specific documents plucked from virtually thousands. Not only is the information sharing process secure, but it also reaps savings through increased productivity. Our clients experience the rewards in terms of time and money.
