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.
