With the advancement of electronic technology, the U.S. litigation industry has become increasingly complex. The number of inter- and intra-office communications has increased many-fold, and law firms and corporate counsel offices are now expected to preserve and make available for potential discovery all such records. Attorneys can become mired in the relatively pedantic task of identifying first-level responsive documents for production in e-discovery process instead of meeting with clients and devising litigation strategy.
As such, under the current system, the first review phase of e-Discovery process is always a time consuming and costly endeavor. Not only do unknown outside attorneys from a staffing agency need to be hired for the document review, but a physical site must be properly equipped to house the workforce.
By permanently keeping on staff over 20 legal associates, Legal Advantage eliminates much of the unknowns associated with resorting to temporary contract attorneys. All of our legal associates have been carefully selected from top Indian law programs. In order to make sure they understand the American legal landscape, they have all undergone an extensive battery of tests to ensure a high degree of comfort with American jurisprudence. Additionally, they have undergone an intensive 10-week program, derived from review courses for the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE), which exposes them to the fundamentals of American law. Based on this program, they have then successfully tested in a variety of substantive legal areas. Managed by US licensed attorneys with extensive experience in document review, our international staff is able to assist clients in a cost-efficient manner by meeting quick turnaround times without sacrificing accurate coding protocols. Our legal associates are trained and have experience with not only identifying first level responsiveness calls, but also detailed subject matter coding, substantive privilege review, electronic mail deduplication, replication identification, and quality control. Legal Advantage can deliver a complete first-level document review in approximately one-third of the time it takes under the current system. Output can be formatted to a variety of client requirements, including electronic submission, disc recording, hard drive storage, or a paper production.
