E-Discovery & Information Governance
Integrated approach to defensible information management & discovery
Our Encompass team, a dedicated practice group of the Firm, provides clients and co-counsel with end-to-end e-discovery technology, document review, and integrated counsel and advocacy.
We advocate to address scope of discovery, negotiate discovery protocols, and help minimize business disruption and burdens. Our flexible and scalable teams have deep experience partnering with clients and trusted matter counsel in large concurrent or small routine matters. We provide business-minded counsel on defensible disposal, preservation, records management, and other information governance matters, helping our clients in some of the largest and most complex cases, government investigations, and transactions in the United States.
We have enterprise-level relationships and deep partnerships with our clients, bringing consistency, efficiency, and defensibility to every case.
For example, we serve as national e-discovery counsel for a global pharmaceutical client, advising on integrated information governance, preservation, and discovery. We’re also enterprise e-discovery counsel for a Fortune 50 company, providing integrated information governance and discovery counsel across the enterprise.
We act as discovery counsel for 16 defendants in an antitrust MDL, providing discovery and review counsel services. We’re handling data and integrated discovery related to a cyberattack MDL on behalf of 13 companies facing hundreds of putative class actions related to one of the largest cyberattacks in history.
Additionally, we are discovery counsel for the U.S. Department of Justice Hart-Scott-Rodino Second Requests with services including negotiating discovery and production requirements, conducting custodian interviews and data collection, addressing privilege challenges and performing discovery-related reviews.
Our approach is embraced by our clients.
Those include Fortune 50 companies, law firms that serve as matter counsel and engage Encompass to provide focused and integrated e-discovery services, and corporations that are part of heavily regulated industries such as automotive, energy, financial, health insurance, healthcare, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, technology, and tobacco.
Our clients hire us for our depth of bench and capacity to take on large, concurrent matters.
Our team is made up of veteran litigators, technologists, project managers, analytics professionals, and litigation technology professionals. Partners oversee our dedicated discovery attorneys, project management lawyers, and team leads to ensure streamlined communication and skilled counsel.
We have document review centers in SC, TN, & DC and an extended network with scalable capacity (300-1200-plus seats including in CA, FL, GA, IL, MA, MI, NC, and NY).
