Case Study

eDiscovery Expertise Enables Faster Production for High-Stakes Second Request

The Issue
A large telecommunications corporation involved in a merger investigation needed document collection, processing, hosting, review and production services for a large-scale and high-stakes second request antitrust matter.
Approach

Our specialists devised a client-specific, managed service solution with processes that accommodated:

  • Leverage of Brainspace™ by internal counsel for investigations
  • 3rd party subpoena workflows with no outside counsel
  • 95% consistency standard of review for all India-based review resources
  • Contract and workflow flexibility to accommodate changes under the managed service flag
Result

Following the two-month review and Consilio’s successful production of documents, the need for an additional quick-turnaround production required immediately bringing back 40 of the original team’s review attorneys. This review team worked for seven straight days to ensure that all deadlines were successfully met on time and on budget.
