LEADING THE WAY THROUGH E-DISCOVERY
 As more organizations implement document management technologies, the need for electronically stored information (ESI) forensics has intensified. EID staff members with legal and law enforcement experience have worked directly on large ESI-focused investigations. We have developed strategies for discovery request, evaluated the level of compliance in the materials produced, and worked with counsel to devise strategies to obtain compliance.
