Client Success Stories Government Investigation - Investment Bank The Challenge Being the subject of a high profile government investigation can be intimidating, even for a well respected corporation represented by one of the largest, most experienced firms in New York. The law firm had one critical objective: maximize resources to meet all the government's production requests on time and in a way that served the client's best interests. They turned to Applied Discovery for assistance. The Case With corporate scandals making headlines every day, the government now aggressively wields its investigatory powers. Documents stored on companies' computers—particularly email messages and attachments — are the focus of many government requests. The legal team was faced with quickly gathering and reviewing almost 700,000 pages of electronic documents to comply with the government's aggressive production schedule. The Applied Discovery Difference Quality - Electronic Discovery Best Practices Reviewing 700,000 documents the "old fashioned" way was not an option in this situation. The firm needed a sophisticated solution compatible with the difficult circumstances in this case. Even members of the review team who initially argued in favor of paper review reported that they were "electronic discovery converts" within 15 minutes of utilizing Applied Discovery's Online Review application. The advanced search capabilities, document-organizing tools, automated Bates numbering, and custom document marking enabled the review team to locate and categorize responsive documents quickly. Capacity - Beat the Clock Within 48 hours of receiving the first delivery of backup data, Applied Discovery provided secure 24-hour access to the first set of documents. In order to meet the tight production schedule, the legal team mobilized more than 40 reviewers. Working day and night, whether from their offices or home computers, the Web-based interface enabled the entire review team to immediately access one common database of documents. Service - The Client Solutions Group The legal team found a true partner in their Account Manager from the Client Solutions Group. An experienced paralegal, she knew every step of the review process and was able to anticipate their every need throughout the investigation. Answering calls at all hours of the day and night — even after midnight on a Saturday — the Account Manager provided service exceeding the firm's expectations. The Outcome With tight timelines, media attention, and anxious clients, the legal team needed a proven electronic discovery service provider. Utilizing Applied Discovery's Online Review service, the firm was able to meticulously review vast amounts of electronic data to comply with the government's requests and serve their client's best interests throughout the investigation. In the end, they were able to negotiate settlement for millions less compared to others involved in similar investigations.
