Legally Defensible Processes

Electronic discovery can be risky. There are a lot of steps in the process, response times are short and a number of different groups can be involved inside and beyond a company’s firewall — corporate legal departments, IT, outside counsel and often various service providers. Because of this complexity, the results are inconsistent and sensitive corporate data can end up in too many places.
Attenex® Patterns® E-Discovery Software allows corporations and their law firms to develop and standardize legally defensible processes, so for every matter, users have confidence that judgments will be made on the merits of the case rather than a process technicality.

A Single Point of Control

Electronic discovery can be chaotic. Throughout a complex process, Attenex Patterns provides users with transparency and a single point of control for processing, organizing and reviewing electronic documents. The tool’s project management features provide users with one view to:

• Assign, manage and track review projects
• Greatly reduce the number of documents for legal review through processing and de-duplication
• Ensure privileged documents are not shared during production
• Make more consistent, accurate document marking decisions
• Lower overall expense
• Eliminate points of failure from collection to production

Uncompromised Chain of Custody and Audit Trail

Electronic discovery is often about where documents have been, as well as where they are going. As documents are reviewed for their relevance to a matter, Attenex Patterns automatically records every document decision and maintains a complete and uncompromised chain of custody. Built-in audit trail features provide a complete history of the document through the legal review process, even for files that are never reviewed. Attenex Patterns not only logs each action taken on every document, but also carefully maintains relationships between emails and their attachments — preserving the original characteristics of every file in the data set, including the metadata and other unique content.
