Your digital footprint is bigger than you think. Most of the electronic communications you have had in the last ten years may exist somewhere: on servers, backup tapes, hard drives or other removable media. The costs to store, manage, organize, preserve, collect, process, filter, review, produce and analyze this data have grown proportionately. With so much more ESI, the challenge faced by corporations and their law firms is to identify, preserve, review and designate documents for production in a cost effective manner. In other words, you need to right-size your review to be proportionate to the value of your case.

Topics discussed in this important paper include:

• Using an adaptive approach to develop effective search criteria.

• Combining advanced technology tools with human judgment for the most efficient, defensible and cost-effective review.

• Rather than focusing on speed alone, the success of a document review should be measured by the responsive rate of the documents reviewed.

Cases discussed include:

• Victor Stanley, Inc. v. Creative Pipe, Inc.

• William A. Gross Construction Associates, Inc. v. American Manufacturing Mutual Insurance Co.

This paper also provides an ideal document to be shared with both legal and IT teams.
