What is e-Discovery?

Electronic Discovery, also known as e-discovery or ediscovery, is the electronic aspect of the discovery phase of a legal proceeding such as lawsuit or investigation. It involves the identifying, collecting and producing electronically stored information (ESI) that is requested. ESI includes electronic evidence including emails, documents, presentations, databases, instant message chats, voicemail, audio and video files, social media, and websites.

What is an e-Discovery Process?

The process of e-Discovery services is complex. It goes beyond collecting physical materials. It usually involves a large volume of dynamic data. Electronic documents often include metadata, time date stamps, author and recipient information, duplications, and more. The preservation of these pieces from electronic documents creates special challenges to prevent intentional, reckless, or negligent withholding, hiding or destroying of evidence. Withum’s Forensics and Electronic Discovery team understands the challenges of e-Discovery technology services and the importance of preventing spoliation.

Testimonials

President Real Estate Development and Management Company

Due to some concerns with our former IT consultants, we began searching for a new provider. We chose Withum's Cybersecurity team, as their services range from providing IT Consulting and IT Security, to incident response and forensics. Before officially hiring them, Withum performed an extensive assessment of our entire environment, and recommended changes and enhancements. I was very impressed by their analysis and immediately understood how sophisticated their security is compared to where we were at the time. We made the change and although change is always difficult, Withum made it as seamless as possible.
