This is followed by putting the data under legal hold which means the data cannot be deleted, modified, erased, or destroyed in any way
After the legal agreement, the requisite data is extracted from the source, indexed and placed into a database
The data is analyzed to separate it clearly from non-relevant e-mails and documents. After the analysis, the filtered data is hosted on our or the client's platform and made accessible to reviewers i.e. attorneys and paralegals
The reviewers then parse the documents for their relevance to the legal matter. Sometimes, our reviewers also do the coding part and present the results before the client
As per the client's requirement, once the unwanted documents and information are separated, the relevant documents are converted to a static format such as PDF or TIFF
