Collecting ESI in a forensically sound manner to maintain its integrity and admissibility in court.
Organizing and converting collected ESI into a format that can be easily reviewed and analyzed.
Reviewing ESI to determine its relevance, responsiveness, and privilege status.
Analyzing ESI to identify patterns, trends, and key information relevant to the legal matter.
Producing relevant ESI in a format required by the requesting party or court.
