With the location, format and volume of the potentially responsive data identified, we devise a collection strategy sensitive to any privacy or jurisdictional considerations. Our approach will be integrated with the discovery plan for a seamless transfer of data between collection, processing, review and production. Because we understand both the data and the ultimate objectives, we can also assist in refining search terms for downstream culling.
First Advantage Litigation Consulting employs an established, court-supported collection methodology that uses a flexible set of procedures. This allows us to customize our response to fit the situation, taking care to avoid the disruption of our client's business operations. We liaise between legal counsel and the client's IT staff to maintain proper records and comply with agreed-upon collection methods. Every step of the way, our practices and protocols preserve metadata, avoid spoliation and maintain an airtight chain of custody, ensuring that data can be authenticated in court.
