What is E-Discovery
Concord is an industry leader in E-Discovery, serving the legal community since 1996
Electronic Discovery, otherwise known as eDiscovery or EDD, relates to locating, Preservaton, Processing, Reviewing and Production of responsive documents that are part of electronically stored information (ESI). The role of an electronic discovery expert or e-Discovery expert is to help bridge the gap between lawyers and information technology. The changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) in December of 2006 mandate that discovery is to include electronic evidence as part of the discovery process (e-discovery). The scope of e-Discovery encompasses all electronic communication including Emails, Word documents, Spreadsheets, images, audio and video files, and any other file containing possible relevant evidence, and their metadata. At Concord, We understand that the efforts to comply to an eDiscovery request is often expensive and time-consuming.
