Your eDiscovery team

Our dedicated team have many years of experience in the field, and their legal, technology and eDiscovery skills cover a broad range of industries.

As our client you’ll benefit from a tech-driven streamlined and efficient approach, led by legal advisors who specialise in disclosure and have real-world experience of building defensible and auditable processes.

What does this look like in practice? Our lawyers were one of the first teams to adopt the Disclosure Pilot Scheme and through the deployment of innovative technology we’ve been able to reduce the manual review of documents in data subject access requests by 75 to 90%. In addition, using AI powered tools in disclosure reviews has allowed us to cull 50%+ of documents from manual reviews and can help you reduce the burden of bulk reviews. Our team members are committed to embedding the latest technology to optimise the service they provide

Our experts can provide UK and US services in connection with Bulldox (Womble Bond Dickinson, US), and through a collaborative partnership with Everlaw you’ll have certainty around data hosting costs, in addition to the opportunity to develop new and bespoke workflows with a forward-thinking provider.

Team members hold Nuix, Relativity, Everlaw and Exterro (FTK) certifications and our paralegals in WBD Advance are Certified Everlaw Reviewers.

Our technical services cover all phases of the EDRM process from identification and preservation through to the collection, review and disclosure of data, and our analytical services will allow you to understand the scope of the data collected with minimal pages being manually turned. What’s more, if you’re preparing Disclosure Review Documents, or getting ready for CMCs or Disclosure Guidance Hearings, our team of specialists can be on hand to assist you.
