Electronic Discovery
The Electronic Legal Approach to Electronic Data Discovery
Most of the litigation support companies in Colorado started as copy shops. They eventually started offering scanning services to try to keep up with the legal market demand. When the source of data moved from paper to electronic, these same shops thought all they had to do offer electronic discovery and computer forensics as additional services is buy some software and equipment. Electronic Legal started as a professional computer forensics and electronic data discovery company. Since we tend to manage entire cases we were asked by our clients to add scanning and copying to our services so our team can have total control over all possible outsourced litigation support needs.
Forensics and eDiscovery requires a different set of qualifications - education, background, software, hardware and expertise. Processing electronic data is not the same as handling physical documents. Incorrect handling of electronic evidence can cause spoliation of evidence resulting in sanctions against you and your client. The new amendments to the Rules of Civil Procedure have raised the bar and set a new standard of what is expected when preserving, processing, reviewing and producing electronic data. As of 2003, over 80% of a company's information was stored electronically. Do not have the fate your firm or the relationship between you and your client rest in the hands of a copy shop.
Electronic Legal fills the void in the computer forensics and electronic discovery services area in Colorado. We have the only full service discovery offerings, ranging from paper copying and scanning through certified forensic investigations and certified electronic discovery services and legal database expertise.
A growing trend in investigation and litigation support is "electronic discovery." Electronic discovery is essential because the information needed to build a case increasingly resides on computer systems. In fact, far more information is retained on a computer than most people realize. It is also more difficult to completely remove information that is generally thought to have been deleted. For these reasons (among many), computer forensics can often find evidence of, or completely recover, lost or deleted information, even if it was intentionally deleted. To effectively obtain this information, you cannot simply turn the computer "ON" and start searching. Investigators need to consider issues such as spoliation, preservation of evidence and admissibility as they discover the facts.
