Identification

Once the complaint has been issued, time is of the essence. The establishment of a well defined discovery plan is crucial to mitigating time, costs and risks associated with the discovery process.

At the outset of a project, LWG uses a turnkey process called the Discovery Initialization Checklist. This process is utilized for each site named in the investigation and systematically aids in uncovering information derived from the complaint.

LWG’s professionals will help you:

• Identify and assemble Electronic Discovery Team Members from within the company
• Identify relevant custodians through investigation or interrogatories
• Assess network topology and current records management and retention policies
• Development of complete application and data maps to identify potentially relevant data stores and assess accessibility and risk parameters
• Prep for the Rule 26(f) Meet and Confer
• Expert Witness Determination, Rule 30(b)(6)
• Develop a Discovery Plan including a preservation and production strategy
