Electronically Stored Information (ESI) has made discovery a daunting task when mountains of potentially relevant information is thrown at you with little to no organization. As the amount of information continues to grow, there’s a threat of a case being delayed months or years as they are both identified and sifted through for relevance and importance. Without experience, expertise, and the proper platforms the process only becomes more difficult. Proper planning is needed to meet discovery objectives and obligations set forth by the courts. Even if you are able to sort, compile, and provide the information before a deadline, it is extremely easy to accidentally “contaminate” ESI. Handling paper documentation is much more simple and straightforward to not accidentally change, however, the way people handle their electronics in every life will not suffice. An action as simple as opening an email or downloading a file can change the evidence and cause problems for you down the road.

Spotlight Consulting offers fast and effective eDiscovery that will not only speed along your case, but help find the strongest evidence to win your case. Technology is constantly changing, making it difficult to keep up with best practices, however, that is not an excuse to not provide ESI in a timely manner. Without utilizing the current best practices, you are putting yourself and your client at a disadvantage.
