Drawing upon our 70+ full time e-discovery lawyers, and industry-leading discovery technology, enhanced by technology and specialized workflows developed in-house at Reed Smith, we assist clients through each step of the discovery process. From initial preservation and data collection all the way through filtering, analysis, and final production, our lawyers and resources support our clients and case teams.

Even in cases where Reed Smith is not primary merits counsel, we can serve as Special Discovery Counsel or National Discovery Counsel to provide quality and consistent practices while reducing expenses. We also assist with automating and administering legal holds, conducting witness interviews, performing document collections, filtering, processing, hosting, analyzing and producing documents and data. We use some of the most advanced technology available for early case assessment, ESI filtering and processing, predictive coding, document review, metrics reporting, redactions, anonymization, and other tasks performed at high quality levels while minimizing costs.

By disposing of records that are no longer needed, most companies can save significant money on storage costs, make relevant records easier to store and locate, reduce exposure to data breaches and remove other risks associated with the long-term storage of obsolete records.

We assist clients in drafting, and implementing records management policies and schedules, as well as with email and electronic communication policies, backup and disaster recovery policies, information security policies, acceptable use policies, BYOD Policies, legal hold policies, and others. Our lawyers also advise on implementation of new policies, procedures, and employee training. We can work with our clients, every step of the way, to adopt and maintain optimal record retention policies and practices in order to be legally compliant, minimize risks, and maximize efficiency.
