Maximize compliance. Minimize disruption.
In civil litigation and criminal investigation, the process of discovery refers to the pre-trial phase in which all relevant documentary evidence is preserved and provided. With more than 90% of all business records now created and stored electronically, the process of electronic discovery (e-discovery) has grown exponentially to include e-mail, voicemail, databases, text messages, PDAs, mobile phones, home computers, and much more.
Compliance with an e-discovery order can be time-consuming and disruptive to your company, which is why you need to get it right the first time. PwC’s Forensic Technology Solutions team can advise you from the initial crisis meeting, collect and review the data, produce the responsive or relevant documents, and ensure that you meet your discovery deadlines and objectives.
We’ve learned from experience that e-discovery involves more than just sophisticated tools scanning large stores of data. It’s also about giving you sound advice to ensure full cooperation with any investigation by instructing your staff appropriately, documenting your processes to stay compliant, and delivering a production that conforms to the rules of evidence and deadlines set by the courts or regulators.
