Early Case Assessment

eTERA Consulting believes that one of the best options that a service provider can offer a firm or corporation is the ability to get ahead of the case. Here are some of the ways that eTERA Consulting can assist its clients:

• Consulting on the selection and implementation of automated early case assessment tools (e.g. Clearwell©™, Attenex®);
• Providing guidance on the use of these tools to identify key players;
• Evaluating the merits of the case, using the actual dataset, to increase the effectiveness of the “meet-and-confer” conferences;
• Estimating the scope and exposure of the electronic discovery to provide for better litigation budgeting;
• Mitigating potential issues in electronically stored information much sooner in the litigation;
• Determining potential concerns with forensic collection, through internal automated review of existing data and structured interviews; and
• Conducting search term analysis for keyword negotiations during the “meet-and-confer” conferences.
