The world of e-discovery is quickly going native. While paper or TIFF were the readily accepted standards for producing electronic documents for many years, several factors are now driving the industry to deliver more native documents instead. Offering increased efficiencies and a more thorough understanding of a matter, this trend towards producing documents in their native format was greatly encouraged by new federal e-discovery rules that took effect in December 2006. This white paper reviews the history and context of native file review and production, and then offers our recommendations and tips for the best practices to employ during production and review of native documents for regulatory requests, investigations and litigation.
