The IVIZE Discovery Consultants provide "smart discovery" consulting to law firms and corporations. Our Discovery and Litigation Consultants provide subject matter expertise on litigation readiness, discovery review platforms and tactics to reduce data for discovery review. The ultimate goal of Smart Discovery is to Review Less™.
The expanding volume of electronically stored information requires lawyers to understand a client's email archiving systems, litigation holds, data collection strategies, ESI Processing and litigation support technology. The IVIZE team supports litigation professionals across the United States with these challenges and many others.
We understand that in e-discovery, you are requesting data and responding to data requests. We can help you prepare for litigation and develop the proper strategy for clarifying what is important as you prepare for litigation. Our experts can reduce the time and cost for data collections, document review, and minimize the production on non-responsive documents. In the end, it is about controlling costs and exposing your opponent's potential issues.

- Early Case/Data Assessments
Successful litigation management requires a strategic and well planned approach. Understanding the costs, merits of the case, and makeup of the electronic evidence is crucial given the tight timelines. Engaging in an early case assessment can provide valuable insight into all of these areas and better prepare the litigation team.
We provide corporate and counsel with the tools and strategies to assist in assessing the current policies, procedures, and the potential electronic evidence in an organization before litigation. Review of the litigation hold procedures, data mapping, investigation for possible inaccessibility or burden arguments, and overall case risk assessment helps better prepare for future litigation.
The FRCP Changes require opposing parties to discuss e-Discovery early on in the process to determine and agree upon production specifications. In addition, the preservation of data, the allocation of costs, and other potential discovery issues need to be discussed. We help you prepare for these discussions and draft terms that are favorable to you.
Our collection and preservation protocols satisfy courts and opposing parties while reducing the scope and cost of e-Discovery. We can act as data liaison for the e-Discovery team that consists of counsel and the IT staff. We assure compliance with agreed-upon collection methods and proper record keeping. Our experts have testified regarding the collection process, can validate to the court that you have adhered to the agreements between the parties and protocols in place.
Once potentially responsive data is identified and collected, we consult through the use of proprietary methods to determine the most effective strategy for implementation of a data reduction strategy. Metadata, keyword filters tools, analytics, along with de-duplication technology could reduce the volume of electronic data in a case by as much as 85 percent.
- Federal & State Civil Procedure e-Discovery Compliance
In today’s organizations, ESI is at the core of compliance. The electronic data potentially relevant to a lawsuit or regulatory investigation is everywhere. The emails between executives, the logs for access control on data, or the project management database, etc. become relevant. Organizations need to manage electronic information in a compliant manner and is a top priority. Our staff of lawyers, experts, and project managers has the experience in the law, discovery and legal services, and will guide you through every step.
