Document & Email Review

When documents have been filtered for relevancy, the smaller sub-set of documents will need to be manually reviewed by the legal team for relevancy and privilege, before creating the disclosure list.

Many large firms have a favoured review tool and our services can be tailored to meet the requirements that the in-house team requires.

Broadly speaking, there are two types of review tool available. A network review tool is confined within the network of the firm or company and is only accessible to people with access to that network. The documents are stored within servers at the law firm’s offices.

Most modern law firms see considerable benefits in using an online review tool. This is a safe and secure, web-based tool that can be used from any computer attached to the internet. The documents themselves are stored in a central repository, and access to them is limited to users with the appropriate usernames and passwords. This type of tool affords considerable flexibility and coordination of staff located at different offices, or in different countries.

Where a lawyer is not familiar with document review technology, Palmer Legal Technologies can advise and project manage the most suitable system for the scale of the case. Many tools exist for the purposes of reviewing documents in a disclosure exercise, and most will facilitate the review of documents that originated in both electronic and paper-based forms.

Being entirely independent of all online review tool suppliers, we are able to offer arms length advice and find the right tool for the project in hand.
