Quickly uncovering the facts of a case; defensibly culling down collected information to a potentially relevant subset; identifying responsive, privileged, and confidential documents; pinpointing the documents that will support the story at trial; meeting strict budgets and timelines: these are some of the challenges counsel face today.

No matter the size or complexity of the litigation, investigation, or regulatory review, clients turn to H5 to help meet the challenges of document review and e-discovery.

Solutions

Our solutions are delivered on demand – when clients need them – within their budgets and timelines. Elements of a customized solution, based on the core H5 Hi-Q Platform™, may include:

  • Expert Culling: We design and execute culling strategies to defensibly reduce the volume of documents for more efficient and cost-effective first-pass review. This can be performed at H5 or in clients’ infrastructure with H5 EDGE™ Classifier.
  • Rule 26(f) Meet and Confer Consulting: We provide insight into implications of particular search or culling strategies, estimate likely document yields, design and execute sampling strategies, and estimate review cost and time. 
  • Early Case Assessment: We help develop and test early case hypotheses against document populations, execute pre-review document analysis, and conduct expert searches to support emerging case theories.
  • Automated Document Review for Production: We design and execute processes that automate first-pass review while filtering documents to protect privilege, confidentiality, and trade secret.
  • Automated Document Review in Preparation for Deposition and Trial: We design and execute processes that automate and accelerate the categorization of documents according to client-defined issues and subject matter. 
  • Analytics: Customized analytics provide insight into the importance of particular documents, people, and issues, such as “hot” documents, key potential witnesses, communication patterns of interest, and gaps in production.
  • Keyword Consulting: We advise on the strategic advantages and risks of keyword lists, offering both scientifically based guidance and business strategy.
  • Defensibility Assessments: We evaluate e-discovery policies, procedures, and technologies against applicable best practices and standards in order to identify and mitigate areas of possible exposure.
  • Data Management: We provide collection, legacy information management, data extraction and processing, data transfer and migration, and workflow integration with H5’s hosted review platform or clients’ preferred review tools or litigation repositories.
