Each litigated matter is unique, with different challenges and timelines. When planning your optimal review strategy, there are a number of options to ensure maximum speed and efficiency, while carefully avoiding any reduction in the quality of the review process. Fios' PrevailŪ web-based review application supports various strategies and provides you with the flexibility needed for each specific matter.
For example, certain strategies and applications of Prevail, Fios' review application, can prove indispensable for a producing party's review team. However, those same strategies may be less applicable for a sole practitioner who is the requesting party intending to review produced evidence. The former group may concern itself with discovery deadlines, reviewer assignments, privilege and redaction techniques, while the latter may be more concerned with strategic categorization for use during an opening argument or a motion for summary judgment. Fios assists review teams in better understanding the power and flexibility provided by Prevail so that the appropriate review strategy may be mapped out and implemented.
It is clear that legal teams have disparate agendas when tackling a review project. Fios can assist you with developing and implementing the most appropriate strategy whether you are:
- A litigation team or individual obligated to produce evidence in response to a request for production of (electronic) documents and who will maintain production entirely within Prevail.
- A litigation team or individual obliged to produce evidence in response to a request for production of (electronic) documents who will utilize Prevail as a staging ground for first or second level culling and then export a result set to an application such as Summation or Concordance.
- A requesting party's litigation team or individual using solely Prevail for strategic review of responsive evidence produced by opposing counsel.
- A requesting party's litigation team or individual using Prevail in conjunction with third party litigation support applications and trial outlining tools, such as CaseSoft® suite or Summation, Concordance, etc. for strategic review of responsive evidence produced by opposing counsel.
The optimal use of Prevail will depend on which of these four categories best fits the entity charged with review. To ensure your projects get off to the right start, we also take into account your need for a fast, efficient review, looming deadlines, and desire to control costs. Fios wants to ensure the technology works for you - helping you optimize your review time and accuracy - ultimately allowing you to maintain compliance and meet court timelines. Fios strategists, well-versed on current legal review methodologies, will help you apply the right technologies and techniques to facilitate the most effective document review.
Fios enables you to select the best review strategy by:
- Understanding your discovery goals. For instance, what does a successful document production look like? What are your internal and external timelines?
- Discussing the tactics or rules governing your review. Questions like, how do you want to review duplicates? How do you want to produce duplicates? How do you need to handle document families or chains?
- Prioritizing the evidence to review, resulting in an A to Z list of custodians, witnesses, and issues that will direct your review and ensure your team focuses on the right stuff.
- Training on Prevail, tailored on the features and functions necessary to execute your review strategy, and open Q&A regarding Prevail technology and best practices.
