E-discovery Consulting

Having an in-depth understanding of technology is vital to properly composing e-Discovery questions and responding to e-Discovery request. For instance, when composing e-Discovery questions, one must consider the type of software that is being used, how the information is being stored, the back-up policy, the retention policy, the computer and Internet usage policies. Reviewing and understand this information is crucial to know how and what to ask.

A great example of this is an audit log. Certain software packages write any changes of information to an audit log. This can provide an electronic footprint if you know to ask for it. Otherwise, just asking for the current information does not provide what maybe very relevant information, especially in fault or fraud based investigations.

Lastly, responding to e-Discovery requests requires diligence to ensure only the proper information is provided. In most cases, e-Discovery evidence should be provided on clean media free of any other information. If not, information that was thought to be deleted on the media can be restored and could be potentially damaging.
