eDiscovery
Enhancements to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure regarding
discovery of electronically stored information (ESI) have had a
significant impact on corporations as well as attorneys. Numerous
cases have proven this, and attorneys and corporations alike are dealing
with serious issues associated with locating, identifying, preserving,
collecting, reviewing, and producing ESI for litigation. The
professionals at Jimenez Consulting Solutions help
clients deal with these problems in the same way we help them achieve
their business goals - by delivering high-quality, high-value consulting
services based on decades of experience, thought leadership, and
successful delivery.
Corporations
In the context of eDiscovery, corporations in all
industries need to understand what types of electronic documents they
produce, identify where they are stored, define and manage complex
retention and destruction policies, and determine how to reduce the
significant cost and strain of dealing with eDiscovery
requests in an ad-hoc manner. In addition, in-house and outside
counsel must avoid spoliation of electronically stored information,
which can have an adverse effect on their case, and the attorneys
individually. JCS professionals combine deep functional expertise
with a sound understanding of the challenges posed by eDiscovery
in creating the following services offerings targeted at Corporations:
Corporate and Outside Counsel
Attorneys have additional challenges to address in eDiscovery.
Missteps in the eDiscovery process can harm a case and
threaten reputations. It is critical for Plaintiff's Counsel to
know specifically the type of information they need to support their
client's case. Likewise, it is critical for Defense Counsel to
understand the information available and the difficulty of producing the
information if requested. Mistakes here can lead to significant
costs and the assumption of unnecessary risk. Our
professionals assist Plaintiff's Counsel in determining the appropriate
information to request during Rule 26(f) conferences
and Defense Counsel in adequately responding to requests for
electronically stored information.
