Managing Litigation with Electronic Discovery and Prevail
In recent years, litigation matters have become even more difficult to manage due to the explosion of electronic data created by today's businesses. In defending our clients, we are often requested by opposing counsel to turn over all relevant data pertaining to a particular issue or issues. These discovery requests can be overwhelming, and often times are very costly for our clients and time-consuming for the litigation team. To help mitigate these costs and expedite the discovery process for our clients, we have turned to Fios' Prevail to help manage these requests.
Prevail is a Web-based discovery tool used by attorneys and litigation support professionals to review and ultimately produce electronic evidence. Prevail is created and hosted by Fios Inc., an electronic discovery company that provides data collection, processing, review and production services for law firms and enterprises.
Prevail acts as a window to the client's data, whether the data contains e-mails, word processing documents, spreadsheets, or any other format of electronic documents. Part of Fios' processing service involves rendering native documents to HTML, which is then hosted on Prevail for a discovery team to review. This review can be done by anyone with a fast Internet connection and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Fios' project managers provide free training via conference calls and Internet conference tools. The ability to access Fios from any location is especially helpful for our firm, as we have multiple offices located throughout the country. Fish & Richardson can now staff a large document review team with lawyers from other offices.
