The EDRM, or Electronic Discovery Reference Model, comprises nine critical stages. These are:
In eDiscovery, production refers to the stage where electronically stored information (ESI) is converted and provided in a format suitable for discovery. Everest Discovery ensures that the data is easily accessible, searchable, and can be used effectively in legal proceedings.
The EDRM encompasses a range of processes that include information management, identification, preservation, collection, processing, review, analysis, production, and presentation. Each process, as offered by Everest Discovery, is tailored to streamline and improve the eDiscovery process.
Metadata is extracted during the processing stage of the EDRM. It helps in understanding the context and authenticity of electronic data and plays a vital role in subsequent stages, particularly in the review and analysis stages.
The review stage is often the most costly part of discovery. This is because it requires significant manual effort, expertise, and time, especially when dealing with large volumes of data. Everest Discovery and its partners” meticulously examines data for relevance, privilege, and compliance, ensuring accuracy while optimizing costs.
The eDiscovery reference model can be broadly divided into three phases:
The privilege log protocol in EDRM pertains to creating a detailed record during the review stage. This log lists documents or data pieces deemed as privileged and hence exempted from production. Everest Discovery assists clients to ensure that the protocol is meticulously maintained, capturing the nature of the privilege, the document’s relevance, and the reason for its exemption.
During the eDiscovery process, all relevant ESI (electronically stored information) should be collected. This includes emails, documents, files, databases, metadata, and more. Everest Discovery emphasizes collecting comprehensive data to ensure that all potential evidence is accounted for, minimizing legal risks.
Everest Discovery provides comprehensive, secure, and cost-effective eDiscovery and litigation support services, tailored to meet the unique needs of law firms and legal teams.
